We have exchanged!

At long last, we have, today, exchanged on the house in Shropshire. I am so relieved to finally have some certainty. The present owners haven't managed to exchange on the house they are buying yet, so may have to move in with family in the meantime, but they knew we wanted to move out of ours and in to their's simultaneously, so have 'broken the chain'.
I now feel I can share some photos of the house. I didn't want to jinx anything before. I can also truly start to get excited :)
So here, for your delectation, are some photos of the garden and house we will spend the next stage of our lives in.

Front of the house from the garden

Looking down the main section of the garden

To the side of the garden is a stream, pond, chicken coop, small barn, greenhouse and small vegetable garden 

The main lounge 

The other lounge, which we will use as a snug and music room 

The 26ft kitchen/dining  room 

The utility room 

The view over the garden towards our field from one of the front bedrooms 


Thank you so much to all of you who have patiently stuck with my little blog through this rather dull time. I am very much looking forward to sharing some of my excitement with you all in the coming months.....for now, I will continue packing :(

      I imagine they'll take the geese. They are moving to a 40 acre farm! I might start with a few ducks? ....

    Brilliant news, it looks lovely. And of course I especially like the look of the vegetable garden :-)

    How nice of them to break the chain and move out, it's good to get things moving along.

      Yes, we are very fortunate that they are allowing us to move in. Didn't fancy the faff of renting short term.

    Am delighted for you. There must be an extra sparkle in the days now even if the task of moving is daunting and the weather less than gracious.
    I have been waiting, hoping to hear good news and now look forward to reading about your move and settling in.
    How is Jet doing now? Sue
