Well i love my little 2 up 2 down, with my secluded gardens and and off street parking............... But

with hindsight, being an east facing only house (back to back with another) i would defo go for a detached with plenty of light and some lovely views (currently just my front garden and side of neighbours house + fence)

the rest i wouldn't change necessarily :O)

A lovely big secluded garden preferably in the middle of nowhere with absolutely no neighbours. The house itself would need to have enough room for us all but the garden would win it for me.

Not being overlooked by neighbours :-)
That was the main selling point of our house, We are a semi at the end of the road, So our back garden is only overlooked by the neighbours who live in the adjoining house.

Oooooo Rose, now you have me thinking......we might have to downsize, so the next house I would like in my dreams......would be an old brick and flint cottage, with an old fashioned garden with a bubbling stream running along the bottom, with plenty of parking space for the kids when they visit......

.....but OH doesn't like 'old', so we might end up with a new flat or something like that.......I would rather stay here if that were the case....
