Im house hunting to find a place near where my parents live, Im really struggling to find anywhere that makes sense! 
Im spoiled cos my current home is so well laid out it has everything, en suite, utility, garage, garden, and I cant imagine living without these things now. A lot of the houses round here are really old, which means they have loads of character and Id love a stone place with a woodburner etc.. but most of them dont even have a toilet upstairs, I mean WTF?! on top of that house prices here are higher, meaning, selling my 4 bed there, I wont have enough equity to buy anything more than a 3 bed here, but as OHs planning to move here, we ned a 4 bed (3 bed and study as Im self employed now) or even 5 TBH as I do want to have another baby and so does he. 
So My parents own a couple field that my great uncle owned and they inherited, theyre rented to local farmers and the rate hasnt changed since the 60s. My parents dont know what to do with them, they asked me if Id even want to inherit them.
Im starting to think maybe I should ask them to give me a chunk of the field now and leave the rest of it to my brother and sister and dont leave me anything in their will, is that too cheeky?! its down the road, and if I have the land, realistically how much do you think Id need to build a house?!
Ive been looking at kit homes and Ive emailed the company for a quotation on this one http://www.roy-homes.com/homes/bungalow/gigha_bungalow.htm
I have no idea what theyre gonna say TBH, do you reckon it will be hundred and hundreds?! And Ill have to pay to get drains, electric etc... to the property. How much do you reckon theyre gonna say for it?! bear in mind they dont build it, just send all the parts incl kitchen sink and Id have to pay a builder to actually build it.
This is likely to be a pipe dream but Im hoping it will be the answer to all my problems! the layouts amazing, Id be so happy. I want a bungalow cos my parents might end up moving in when theyre old
(I say might, theyve told me they are. )

at least with a kit home the design is there ready. Ive emailed a local builder this morning to make an early enquiry. We'll see what they say!
