We spent some time viewing available properties online. As usual the criteria were well understood, and choice quite limited. Several properties attracted us and the Gorse Fox and Silver Vixen headed out in the car to take a closer look.
The first stop was near Felpham and whilst the house looked nice enough it seemed quite small compared to home. It was also crammed in to its plot and seemed claustrophobic even to look at. We scratched that.
The next was more interesting (at least on the screen) – big, 6-bedroom property in Selsey. Again this was scratched off once we had seen it. Primarily because Selsey is so remote, and secondarily because the though the property looked ok, it was clear to see that it was a maintenance nightmare – fully rendered and painted white, this would be an on-going money-pit. (Just as an aside, Selsey also has more tornadoes than anywhere else in the UK and GF suspects that because of its location there’s probably a view that Chichester constitutes “the big city lights”)
The next contender was quickly written off, being situated on a main road and backing onto a static caravan park. This afforded little privacy or peace.
The final property was just across the rife from home. It was a quirky property that may deserve a closer look.
