Nil Desperandum KatyK keep on looking, we wanted a similar property about eight years ago, it took a lot of finding, but we did get it in the end.
All is compromise in house hunting though, you see couples on tv that admit they have looked at hundreds and hundreds of houses, but nothing is just perfect.
The first thing is location, it has to be right for you, buses, infrastructure etc, and then the house itself.You can always change,and add on with a house inside, but if the location is wrong, then even the most fantastic house is no good.
So, for us, the location what what we wanted, but the house needed so much doing ( and it can be off putting when viewing) that we decided to buy it and every year put something right.Total all new central heating, a conservatory ( also heated for all year use) new kitchen, new bathrooms, all new carpets, new doors internally, and all had to be decorated.Outside, many new roof tiles, new fences, and front and back gardens landscaped.
We were either very brave or very silly, but have a lovely house right where we wanted it.The moral of the story is, that no house is perfect, and although most don't need the renovation that ours did, there will always be some needed, so don't judge a house too harshly if it is in the area you want to be in.
