    started thinking about being isolated if we moved to the sticks so talked to some friends who have kids the same sort of age as ours and the idea of sharing a big house came up

    it seems the rent goes up sharply from a city centre bedsit to a terraced house, but once you search for a 5 or 6 bedroom house out of town the rent seems to level out

    2 families could easily share something like this for much less than we could rent two terraced town houses

    5 bedroom house in Copplestone, CREDITON

    right now i can’t imagine why i’m still living in the city….

    “i’m just popping down to the lake for a swim”

    “ok, i’m just going to the barn for a mix”

    That looks lovely Glo 🙂

    I have lived in communal homes previously [we dont now for a variety of reasons but both really miss it] and they can be great – it does have its drawbacks though if you fall out with the people you are living with 😆

    Its a great way to get a nice home you can afford when you pool your resources raaa and have like minded people to do it with.

    I was brought up in a huge city and now live in the sticks – I dont miss the things we dont have apart from the lack of public transport links [driving takes it out of me in a big way]
    You can have your privacy in the country – simply dont allow yourself to be drawn into the local feuds :laugh_at: [here feuding is mainly a winter sport :eyebrows: ] and keep your distance at what you find comfortable. I do this and still am involved in the local community.
    TBH, apart from the occasionally endless mud, whats not to like? :weee:
