I have the opposite to you Ruthanne.. on the 28th of this month I will have had this house for 43 years.. I live in a very expensive area.. surrounded by woodland, farmland, rivers, and canals . All sounds Idylic on paper.. and it is.. for many..
I hate this house, it just didn't feel right to me .. I never wanted it in the beginning but my first husband was adamant.. it was in the town where he was born and raised, and 2 doors from his Mother
To me it's been an unlucky house.. but I always said that once my Daughter was raised, I'd move...I wanted for her the security of staying in the same schools all her life, along with all the friends she'd known since she was a toddler..
Once she finished her Education..she was 19 or 20..., but of course she still stayed at home, so I didn't want to move her away from everything she knew and her work..now! .. So I said when she leaves home I'll move... she moved in her 20's.. but by then I'd met my second husband, and he loved this house, and didn't want to move because it was an easy commute to work.
Over the last 20 years I begged him to let us move but nope..and now he's gone.. and I'm alone.. and once more I say, I need to move... but I just don't know if I can even be bothered any more..
