Weekend house hunting

Sorry I've got behind with this - been mega busy since arriving back from Japan as we found out on arrival back that we need to move out of the house by the end of July - otherwise the sale falls through.

So last weekend we went up to the Ingleton to look at houses to rent.  There were only 5 within a 10 mile radius of where we want to be, so we looked at all of them.  We ended up going for the first one we saw: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/property-34264054.html.  It is actually in Cumbria - a little hamlet of 3 or 4 houses on the A65, about 6 miles east from the M6, between Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale.  A converted workshop - it has 3 bedrooms, a sunroom (Matt's office) a fully enclosed garden and a huge open plan kitchen diner.  All the bedrooms are double rooms, and the 3rd one is away from the other bedrooms and has an ensuite - making it a perfect guest bedroom for all those who wish to visit us (hint hint).  There is a field with goats, chickens and sheep next door and a footpath behind us.  In short a good base to explore the area.

Ingleton, our preferred village has lost a couple of shops since we were last there which is a little worrying, however, the houses in Kirkby Lonsdale seem to have come down in price meaning we could look there if we wish.  Anyway, we have at least 6 months to explore the area properly and make sure our next decision is the right one.
