We live in the pretty far South West of England in Penryn (next to Falmouth). We are roughly 100yds from the water.

We were lucky and got on the property ladder 22 years ago. We now live in a 4 bed link detached with a double garage, that we purchased 3 and one half years ago as a new build from Linden Homes. (after previously making the huge mistake of investing in a Persimmon home and unloading it within 3 years as a building quality control disaster!). We have a small, rapidly shrinking mortgage.

Our motive was to ‘batten down’ and buy a manageable home with plastic windows, sofits, guttering etc, lots of space and a decent, manageable garden.The location is at the end of a small estate, secluded in its way and with interesting views (non sea). This house will hopefully see us out.. unless we move nearer to civilisation when the kids leave the nest.

I guess that it’s worth about 335k, having been purchased at 300k, rather irrelevant as we have no intention of moving.
