Movin' Out...

So I bought a house today, that was easy... We made an offer at 10am this morning, the sellers received it at about 4pm and made a counter offer, thereafter we had a round of phone calls making increasing silly demands, the last of which was "You'll have to leave the climbing frame, four swings, two see-saws and two (big) slide!". They said ok and we got our house. We got it for $245k which is £122,500 in English terms. for our money we got the following:

1. Lounge
2. Dining Room
3. Music Room
4. Kitchen/Diner
5. Utility Room
6. Double Garage
7. Master Bed with Ensuite
8. Three more bedrooms
9. Storage Room
10. Undeveloped Basement (with walkout)
11. Very large pond
12. Two acres of land
13. All those kids' toys

Mais Oui, as a friend says. I'll stick a picture or two on tomorrow once the papers are signed.
So I had a bit of gander (or possibly gloat) around my old home of Hove or specifically BN3 postcode to discover that for the same price I could get some really scrummy one bed studio or one bed (fully fledged) dodgy flat for the same price. See ya England...
