We’ve been trying for some time to buy a field for Beanie and Biggles but it’s impossible. The property market might be slow at the moment but there’s still unbelievable competition for any little bits of land that come up.
A couple of weeks ago Hazel (Sohpie Beagle’s mum) sent us the schedule of a house for sale. It mentioned that the current owners rented some land near their house and Hazel suggested that it might be worth finding out if they had anything that we could rent. I was at a bit of a loose end so I started browsing through property and came accross a house that looked perfect. I called Paul over and he loved it. We went to see it the next day and put in an offer the day after that. Our offer was accepted immediately and today we’ve agreed on an entry date of 4th December!
The new garden is huge. The whole plot is about 1/3 acre and the back garden is probably around 60 feet by 160 feet. There’s a river runs along the bottom of the garden and we back onto open countryside. This is the view we’ll wake up to in the morning:
And there’s a lovely deck that runs the length of the house to sit and watch our little hooligans having fun:
The location is perfect. Miles of countryside around us with cycle paths, quiet country walks, country parks nearby…
and……minutes from several miles of wide, sandy beach!
It’s going to be a busy month!!!
Excellent news for you both, those beagles will be having a ball now!!
Where is the new pad? Have you now to sell your current house?
Looks like you will be busy!!!!
I wish you all good health to enjoy it.
Cheers
Kathleen
It’s good to hear from you Kathleen. I hope things are well with Nollaig and with you and your family.
We’re between Irvine and Troon beaches. So we’ve got a choice! Hopefully you’ll bring your gang down for a visit.
No problems with selling this house – I’ll explain when I see you.
