On the coast with fabulous sea views but not close enough to the edge of cliffs that my house fell in the sea.
Three bedrooms
study for hubby
craft room for me
on suite bathroom to the bedrooms
a lounge, a dining room and a huge kitchen with a centre island and big enough for a sofa at one end.
A lovely central staircase.
A double garage with upstairs room for storage.
A nice size garden with veggie plot, room for a good greenhouse for hubby
A covered jacuzzi area or better still a swimming pool
Failing all that, somewhere in the Sandbanks area with sea view would be just fine!
Winters would be spent somewhere warmer and sunnier than the UK , like The Balearics, Hawaii or French Polynesia. A Guy Dreier design similar to La Jolla Ocean Breeze.
Summers and we are talking 200 ft yacht mostly mediterranean cruising and some caribbean thrown in. Apogee fits the bill.
City breaks in London, Paris and New York - I'd slum it in hotels
I would love to live in Glencoe in Scotland.
Complete quiet, no neighbours, fantastic scenery and animals.
Not bothered about the type of property.
That would be perfect for me.
I'd like a detached Arts and Crafts movement house, with extensive grounds, ideally in the Sussex Downs or on the Isle of Purbeck. The Ashdown Forest or New Forest would be almost as acceptable.
Standen near East Grinstead would do nicely, but I doubt if the National Trust would sell it to me.
Unfortunately, I'm unlikely to ever become a billionaire Arab sheikh. On a more realistic level, I'd like a house perhaps on the West coast which overlooks the beach - something du Maurier-esque.
I live in rural North Yorkshire in beautiful village already so would just buy a bigger house with a studio for my paintings and a garage for Mr Picklebums motorbikes.
I'm a Londoner and would also love a crash pad there. Somewhere on the Thames with a view of the Tower Of London and I would die happy.
Dream house?
Right on the South coast, possibly Hayling Island over looking the beach and sea. My house would have a large glass panoramic window so that I could watch the boats and the waves.

Oooo, me too.
Savile's house would be ideal.
Nice to see it sold for double the asking price, the connection with the weird one will soon be forgot.
I would still live in my area but buy a 5/6 bedroom detatched house facing the sea or a lovely loch. Also buy a sea view villa in the sun and move between the two. Oh I think I will put a lottery ticket on tonight! Lol

Personally, I would love to live in an old stone cottage, in a village, in the middle of the country: preferably in County Durham or Northumberland.
*sigh* I can dream.
ETA: my great grandparents lived on a lovely little farm in County Durham; so I think my wish comes from there. It must be in me jeans.
Oh, yes! I'd love to live in a hobbit house, too.
Peter Jackson's depiction was beautiful in LotR (as was every other aspect of Middle-earth).

I have lived my entire life in the countryside up in Yorkshire , and I would like to experience the opposite end of the scale and live in the big city

Here's a nice one a few miles east

I would love a town house in London, just off Mayfair, with parking, for that little bit of noise and excitement.
I'd also do a Man v Food stylee road trip across America in one of those HUGE Winnebago type things that expand on the sides.
I'd also go to China and Japan travelling for a few months too.
