What does your ideal home look like?

Funnily enough we were talking about this at work the other day. Like, what would you do with enough money to get your dream home?

I wouldn’t want anything too big. Maybe 2 bedrooms. One for an actual bedroom, and the other could be a library/ music room, where I could show all my records, books, and CDs. Have a big comfy couch, like a loveseat, where I could curl on with a good book and listen to some music. No TV. No internet. I can shut myself away from the world, and just escape.

Kitchen wise, it doesn’t need much. I’d like enough room to have things like an Air Frier, a Microwave, and a nice coffee machine. Plenty of cupboard space for mugs and snacks. And plenty of freezer space, so that I could bulk prep more food, and save money.

I’d like a back garden, where I could have a wee vegetable patch. Grow my own potatoes, carrots, and other veggies. Have a flower bed, where I could just have some wild flowers, to get some insects. A wee table and chair, so that I can sit outside on a nice day. Space to have a whirligig or washing line, to dry laundry on a nice day.

It would also have enough space in the front for a driveway, so that I’d have room to park a car. As it is a big factor for me not purchasing a car, as my current street is a a little low on space. Maybe get one of those American style post boxes in my garden, as I struggle to reach down to pick up post sometimes.

As for the where. I like small town life. I’d maybe travel further North, if I had the choice. Maybe a small town around Inverness? But, I wouldn’t be too disappointed to stay in Fife. I like being close to the coast, where I can go for a walk and smell the sea air.

Overall, I am not fussy. I would like a space for myself, a place to be entirely myself, to enjoy what I love.
