Your childhood home

Re: Your childhood home

I assume the area you live in is a quiet area wirh good neighbours around you.
People whove known you since you where a kid.

It's not a bad area and pretty quiet, plus it is on the very edge of a large forest and heathland area--we are literally 10 seconds from that area. Our neighbours from when I was a child have either died or moved away, but our next-door neighbours have lived there for 35 years and we get on extremely well with them, which has to be a big consideration when you are thinking of moving to a new house. The memories are also very strong for me here, and I have an emotional bond with the house. It has kept me safe and secure for 50+ years and has required remarkably little upkeep in return. All my pets are buried in our garden, including our dog, who was my constant friend, companion and protector for 13 years. With all these bonds, I simply cannot imagine, nor would consider, living anywhere else.

My mom & dad still live in my childhood home and I only live a couple of doors away so I get to visit it quite often.

Re: Your childhood home

I'm finally putting my childhood home up for sale after 48 years of living here. At the moment I'm torn between 3 different estate agents, Reeds Rains, Wright Marshall and Bridgfords.

Re: Your childhood home

i guess it holds loads of memories for u mate.
how long did you live here mate.

a childhood jome is more than just a home it is to me anyway.
at least 3 generations of my family have lived in my childhood home.
my parents still live there.

Only lived there for a few years when I was really young, but the only memories I have of it are happy ones (apart from it being a bit creepy )

A 3 storrie house in Manchester, I found it a bit creepy at the time but now, I'd absolutely love to live there again.

Re: Your childhood home

Whatever anyone does, if you ever move to Reading, NEVER use 'Prospect' estate agents...they are so pushy. I hate them!

Re: Your childhood home

I doubt estate agents care when it comes to m,emories though.

thing is you only have one childhood home and if you can manage to keep it do.
the fact the neighbours are nice is a real plus point.
most of them probably know you from u where no age and knew your parents so its like you are among friends.

sf1378, if it were up to me I'd keep it, provided I could keep up with the morgage. Nice house in a nice area with nice people, keep it and tell those estate agents where to go. No sum of money can buy memories.

Re: Your childhood home

My parents have had a few plants over the years.

I remember one was too big for the pot it was in & kept falling over, often getting soil on the carpet.

We also had a cactus that also outgrew a pot & had to be thrown away after it tipped up & fell on my Mum (ouch!)
