13 West Park

Well I thought it was about time we put something up about the new house. So here it is. If we actually move in it will be nothing short of a miricale. So, it's another number 13 (not sure if thats a good or bad thing) and although it needs everything doing and could quite possibly be a bit of a money pit it's redeeming features are 1-I can walk to school, 2-Chris can walk to work, 3-It has 5 bedrooms, 4-It's opposite a great big green open space, 6-Loads of the kids school friends live on the street, 7-It's got 3 reception spaces downstairs, 8-It's got a private back garden that gets loads of sun, 9-Outbuildings, 10-It's a real bargain. Humm, when I write it down it doesn't seem that scarey! In fact it seems too good to be true. So despite be scared to death we keep going.

This is the view from the back with all my lovely storage to the right. Really needs a good tidy up but we may leave that to the spring. The best bit about the garden, actually there a few but there is only 1 conifer tree (that will be going pretty sharpish) So no more trimming hedges with growth spurts!

So excited about the garden. Having such a great garden here we are so lucky to get one thats just as good. Note the TWO apple trees-can't wait. Chris was standing next to me when he took the picture above this one.

This is just a small part of our garage. It runs the entire length of the house. I thought food storage-Chris thought garage cricket. The debate continues!!

This is our "beautiful" blue and yellow kitchen. Hummm-this may be one of the first things to go-no it definatly is one of the first things to go. Just need to work out how my dream cooker, in my not so dream blue and gold will fit into my modern white kitchen. Any suggestions welcome.
This is a photo taken from the living room at the front of the house looking towards the back. Still not sure how we are going to split up the space-this is giving us the bigest headache as there are so many options. The only thing we are really clear on is the horseshoe opening is going about 2 mins after we get the keys for good!

One of my fav things about this house is the lovely bay windows at the front and stained glass. This is the front bedroom and there's another one directly below. Fabulous! Unfortunately the windows are rotten but we are getting them replaced with the same stained glass
Well I could put loads more pictures on but it takes forever to upload them and I really need some sleep. So please feel free to comment on how crazy you think we are! We may still be in denial.
