6herry, personally I wouldn't put in an offer but that's me. You must trust your instincts as I think I once said to Bella. It will be your home maybe for the rest of your life, it's not worth living there if it doesn't feel right. Look at something else, get it right at this point rather than having to move yet again. The very fact that you posted your thoughts asking our opinions must tell you something 6herry?
Please, please trust your instincts 6herry your instincts are there for a reason aren't they, to 'protect you' and if you are both feeling it, well then that says something doesn't it......? I think you already know the answer yourself 6herry.
Another reason it might not feel right is because of energies. Eg - there is a discount supermarket half an hours drive from where I live, I won't go in it anymore, it felt strange/odd. I came home and did some research and discovered where that supermarket now is there used to be an abattoir ! No wonder I felt uncomfortable. What used to be on the land where this house is 6herry.
Or does it feel odd for another reason, maybe the people who live there were always arguing etc which has left an imprint/energy in the house.

It was half of a garden. The guy next door sold the plot.
The more we think about it, the more we are warming to the idea of the place. It is a very practical choice, it has just not been helped as the house has no character to speak of. The interior has been done well, but without imagination, as has the garden.
We never got any bad vibes from the place, or anything negative at all.
Maybe we are just nervous as our last one fell through, and we don't want to lose another one.....
Thanks for your opinion, I do appreciate and value it,. It isn't easy sharing a negative. (((HUGS)))
Well I imagine you will be able to do something with the interior. Plus you have a drive way too. I love the building next door. But I am glad you have been able to come to a decision 6herry.

I've never lived in a new house either 6herry. I like the house next door too because of the shapes, windows etc. I'm sure you can do something with the outside to give it some character. The front is the face. If I bought that I would paint the window frames , garage door and make a statement colour with the front door. Put some legs down on the porch and grow some Wisteria up and over the porch front. Looks like it has a bay window, window dressing can make a lot of difference too and as Beckyboo says....plants, go bananas with some foliage. Some Ivy round the garage door or something.
I think you'd be surprised what you can do with a new house to give it some individuality
There is a lot to be said for being part of a group, and the support and friendship that is gained from this.
I like the look of this house 6herry, positives aplenty here, parking - no problem, detached, double glazing, insulated to the max, and a blank canvas on the inside, for you and your SO to make it yours, I am looking forward to hearing all about your new home good luck.
We are in a similar situation 6herry, although the house we are buying is another Victorian one, the front garden has been turned into driveway, which like you, we need. So we are having to get creative with the door and plants around the front to give it some kerb appeal.

I must admit Linda is talking a lot of sense .........I totally agree with her. If in doubt hang back.....
