Your home looks like its in lovely setting.
Is that one of your fireplaces or one that came with the house.

Your place will look like a picture post card even more when the snow comes..

I can imagine that's really disorientating.
I've heard a few ppl say that. But if you live there I thought you'd get use to it???
Still looks absolutely stunning there.
Never been myself but definately not going to rule it out Wink
Would like to take the Nissan but she wouldn't last 5 mins in the snow lol

Sorry what did your last part mean??? '14000 is not the same as up there'

well the house might only cost 14,000 but living so far away from every thing means you need to travel longer distances for work and so forth. it's a bit like saying you got a house for that money but it's on a small island in the north sea and you only have to row the boat to shore once a month to buy the food... then it's just back to the house on a island and nothing elkse...... location is everything. the big thing up there is isolation and suicide in the winter months. most people who try to live up there dont last more than a few years and those who are born and bread up there find it hard to smile in the winter

Thanks everyone. We really like it here and we're looking forward to our first summer on this island.

ormi thats stunning!! if you dont mind me asking how much does a property like that go for?
I paid £110 000 for this 70m² house with a 1600m² garden. You can find bigger houses for the same price around here but that would probably mean you'd have to spend quite a lot fixing it up.

Thanks mate. The fireplace came with the house. Our gas fireplaces are prettier but they are useless for heating anything up.

The outdoor pics were taken before we bought the house. It's currently covered in a lot of snow.

Exacly, it depends a lot on location. Our house would be super cheap if it was located up north but since it's only 50 miles from Stockholm and less than 100 miles to a third of the Swedish population it was 1,2m kr.
Marsdendean The rek which I have bid for is 113,500 pounds !!!! Jesus I know why they call it rip off Britain !!!!
That's pretty much exacly what I paid for our house. Move to Sweden Confusedmoke:
