Ours is nearly 4 years old, new build show home, was here 2 years while the rest of the development was being sold, we were one of the last to move in about 2 years ago. Never imagined I'd buy a new build but we love the area and houses this size don't come on the market often.

For a new house it has a bit of character, but it's not the same as an old house. I've been happiest in Victorian houses. Love a sash window and a pretty fireplace.

Ours is 1890

just realised when I answered this question that ours is over 120 years old

My current house was built in 1920, so 102 years old.

I don’t like it. The walls are paper thin and I can hear my neighbours cough, wee & sneeze! The gable end wall is a crumbling wreck and the condensation damp in the living room is making a mess of the walls…

We are in the process of buying a dormer bungalow built early 70’s, so it’s around 50 something years old. Im looking forward to the change.

Mines a combination
The original house is a 1930s style 3 bedroom semi and in 1989 we built an extension enlarging the kitchen, adding a downstairs loo and utility room and 2 rooms above that in the roof space

We moved into a 1970s dormer , hope yours has a big enough hallway to manoeuvre your furniture in, our big new sofa had to go in the conservatory as we couldnt get it through the living room door, and couldnt take the window out either ... but I love the house

Yes it’s a bit of a random layout. It doesn’t actually have a hallway. It has like a little vestibule area just as you walk in the front door and then straight to the left is the living room.
Once you’re through the living the room, there’s a big open area with the stairs and other rooms leading off!

Luckily we have a gate around the side and a conservatory on the back with double doors so that we can always get furniture through there if needs be. We might need to send the American fridge freezer in that way as it might not turn the corner at the front!

The main part of our house was built in 1755 it has two extensions the last being about 150 years ago
