One cool mum.
I’ve just cleared out a room with my mum and she’s setting fire to it right now with a flamethrower!
If ever a thread needed pics... !
Where is it Hannah?.

You asked what people wanted from a rural location...
1. Broadband - big and fast
2. Pub in walking distance
3. A motorway within 15 miles
4. A train staion within 15 miles
5. A supermarket within 15 miles
6. Doctors/hospital within 15 miles
Or in summary all their existing services within 15 miles but with nicer views and less people.
The above apply to residents and holiday homes
You'll get a pub and a hospital, none of the rest 🙂

You forgot peace and quiet. I think that's the biggest disappointment for most seekers of the countryside that nature and farming/ rural industry is ****ing loud and does not conform to the 9-5.
I live in rural Norfolk, no mains gas, and many properties don't have mains sewerage still etc.
I would definitely include what internet you can get, distance to amenities etc.
We used to find that most people moving to the area were retirees wanting to come to the place they enjoyed on holidays, but now there is a large influx of younger families, with COVID may companies have swung towards home working, so people do not feel tied to living near there office, and seem to be moving with family to where they feel kids will have better quality of living.
So internet, schools, local amenities etc, as they want the countryside, but often don't want to be totally remote...
Significant progress thanks to you lot! Your feedback made my mum abandon her private sale fantasy.
Good news pic!
Hoping for this though...
dammit- gif fail.... y'know, some flamethrower action 😉
Good news indeed.
Is the purchaser and STW'er?
