You will want to move for the right reasons, not to get away but to go somewhere that is better (for you at that time in life). The big house in the countryside might be wonderful, but when you get older, it may cause stress and worry. So downsizing and/or moving nearer to a community might seem like a sad move, but look at the positives - more time to enjoy, less time to stress over things you can no longer do! Always move TO something, not AWAY from something!

Always moved for work or to find a house near to the better schools. Bought a place by the sea over a decade ago, ready for retirement, but when the time came, grand-children had arrived and Grandad didn't want to move! Still have the place by the sea, but only use for holidays - but we know we have a safe space on one level for if (when) the time comes.

If it were up to me I’d move to live nearer to my daughter and grandchild, but given that won’t be possible for quite some time, I’d buy a little flat in that area, to allow me my own space when I visit.
When we can afford it, we are considering moving from our tiny terraced house to a semi, with larger rooms, more storage space, a slightly bigger garden and a better view. I want larger rooms because my children live several hours drive away, and when they visit for family get-togethers (remember those?) our house gets seriously over crowded. I’d like a garage, so we can retrieve all the stuff we’ve got stored at a relative’s home. A second toilet would be good, as I think my partner is writing a novel in there and I’d prefer not to use a bucket, given the choice. Our current garden is small and north facing, so very little sunlight, and we are overlooked by other houses. It makes me appreciate green spaces, and as I get older, I think it would be great to have a little more greenery to look out on. Other than that, I’m perfectly content where I am.

We have been in the same house for 21 years now but will move to downsize once/if the AC leave home. I would love a sea view and we wouldn’t need to move too far to get one. Dh wants to move out of town but I wouldn’t want to go too far.
