Progress

Yes, after the second viewing of the cottage we felt it was completely right. What we particulary liked about the house is the layout. It's really sociable with the middle room (dining room) connecting the whole ground floor and woodburners in all the rooms making if feel incredibly homely. The location is wonderful too, just a tiny hamlet with 5 houses set into the hillside with tremendous views as far as Manchester one way and the Goyt valley the other. There isn't a lot of land with it but since our neighbours already have sheep, horses, dogs and cats and we still have room for the chickens it is as rural as we'd like it without the responsibility of looking after animals. We have started the buying process now and we can't wait to move! I've started packing some stuff and I love finding all the old things I've forgotten that I had! I'm sure some of them I'll only find again next time we move house...
