We found a house! It was a super long day. We looked at 12 houses so it was slightly overwhelming at all of the choices. Everything from country homes to small town living to big towns. Our future home is called Bury St. Edmunds and it is wonderful. The town has everything you could want. And our terrace home (townhome) is very close to town center, about a ten minute walk to get to the very center. But we still have stuff to do right in our area too. Within twenty minutes we can even get to the train station so this location gives us basically all of Europe in arm's reach! It's about 30 minutes to base, maybe a little less so we are very happy to get out of that area a little bit. Check out the town, it has so much history and awesome historic sites.
Our home itself is a Georgian terrace home that is remodeled. It has the wonderful old facade but it really updated inside. We have 2 fireplaces, living room, separate dining room, 2.5 bedrooms (I say 2.5 because it's technically 3 but the third is so tiny that I plan on making it a closet) kitchen with all the amenities, one beautiful bathroom with a rainhead showerhead and a large backyard with patio. It is very rare to find a backyard as large as the one we have in such a central location. We plan to get some outdoor furniture and a grill, and maybe I will put in some potted plants but we will see how that goes.
Also, our furniture arrived today! So there won't be much delay in when we move in to when we have furniture. We could not have timed that better! Hopefully we will be in the home next Friday so everything is falling into place. I will post pictures of our house when we actually move in!
yay!
