My parents were custom home builders, and developers, in the 60s and 70s in the Lower Hudson Valley of New York State. My mother always said exactly what your dad said. View a house on a rainy day. If you really like it on a dark, rainy, day you will love it when the sun is shining. I was surprised when you said that.
As a Realtor (for over 20 years). I would say…. If something is really tearing at your heartstrings sometimes it is worth the jump. If you wait you may never find another home that matches that same feeling. So excited for you guys and best of luck in your search.
I want to say the same!
If it doesn’t invade their privacy too much, I would love a video with your parents talking about how they raised you and how you all have built a relationship that keeps you so close as an adult. I love the way you just hang out with them. ❤
How lovely for Roo to be near her little friend when you move. Usually if people re visit a house they are not sure about, the second viewing will sway them. You will notice things you missed the first time and you will either love it more or find it isn't for you. This is from someone in real estate. Wishing you all the best Hannah.
That’s so true, i will definitely do second viewings before offering on anything if we decide to! 🤍
The first home with the lovely garden etc seemed to hold a special place in your heart…even with the fact that you might not be able to renovate any of the buildings. My husband and I always go with our gut feeling when making big decisions. Having your family close by will really be lovely especially when you do start a family. As a retired military family whose husband would be gone for 7 months at a time (and didn’t have the opportunity to have family close by when we had our children), the best advice that I can offer is to be as close as you can to family and friends. And you can never go wrong with the beautiful sleepy area of the Cotswolds. Will you keep your current home?
I've been a Realtor for 30 years. You will definitely know which one is for you... you'll feel it, no hesitation. I always enjoy watching you & Roo. My next trip to England will be to the Costwolds, hopefully this Fall.
I liked house#2. Take care & have fun house hunting! Carol, South Texas.
It takes so much time and energy buying, renovating, as well as so much money in stamp duty and solicitors fees, moving fees etc. I’d say five straight in with a larger house that you will grow into. My husband and I bought our family home whilst we were still engaged, it’s surprising how easily a larger house soon feels like home and you can fill it happily! Then once we’d got married and did some work on the house it was time to grow our family and our son came along without any major upheaval or thought of having to move again. Got for the big house I’d say 🙌🏼💗
This has always been a dream to live in the Cotswolds hasnt it ? So how wonderful !!! Praying you find a really special home with personality, views, location ....just all the feels.
I think house number 1 the garden and views outweigh the grading restrictions - but either way you won’t get it wrong as the Cotswolds will be your stunning and cosy home wherever you move to.
It's a hard task you have set yourself Hannah! You said you would love a tiny cottage in a beautiful setting. You also said you wanted somewhere to possibly live long term, and that means Kenny, and potential additions to your family in the future😊 Also, that feeling of rattling around d in a bigger place changes once you have your furniture, and things around ypu. However, if a place has your heart, you should never ignore that feeling, houses talk to us. All the best to you in your search 💕
Been watching from NYC for a year and I just love your channel. Number 2 describes what you wanted before house viewing but I think number 1 got you. 💕
I agree! ✨
Good morning. The best choice is the place you feel most comfortable now. Live in the moment! That is all we really have, isn’t it? Happy for you!💜😊
Like you say…just wait til you have kids, it’s like a flitting every time 😅😅 you sound so happy talking about moving to the Cotswolds. There is something about living in the countryside, good for the soul, and you can always nip to the city for a weekend break or for a shopping trip 🥰 Cotswolds is gorgeous ❤
The Cotswolds is my home, so I can completely understand you wanting to move back.
Can’t imagine living anywhere else
House number 1. Im from the New Forest but live in New Zealand and your videos are such a cosy portal back to my old life in the forest, ive also convinced my kiwi husband that we are taking a trip to cotswolds this christmas when we are back. Yay!! Laura x
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, so glad to have discovered your channel recently 🥰
Cotswold here we come!! So excited for this next chapter of you and Kenny plus rue next journey, can not believe the content we shall see once you move🤗
My experience of house buying has been it's so important to follow your heart and guts. The one time I chose with my head, because of a time constraint, the house never felt right no matter what changes I made to it and I was always very unhappy and unsettled there. I sold it two years later and eventually found this place which felt like home from the first moment I saw even the front of the house and has been my sanctuary ever since. 💗
The house number 1 with the garden and views looked incerdible, and i could almost feel your enthusiasm through the screen. Maybe have a good chat about that to see if it could work for you. Lots of love from Finland. xx Nella
I'm thinking house number 2...but they were all so gorgeous 😊
My fave RUclipsr. I am here for the Cotswolds content Hannah. 🙌 Christmas in the Cotswolds is gonna be EPIC.😍🎄
I would want to be near my parents as well if my fiancée was away for a while. I would sell the house in Manchester & use that money to get what I really wanted in the Cotswolds which would be able to grow a family. Doesn’t make sense to me to keep 2 homes when you don’t have any ties to Manchester. Will enjoy house hunting with you, 🤞
I think the sweet cottage number 2 is probably the one for the moment ❤. Thank you for your beautiful video ❤!
Thank you for sharing so excited for you two. ❤🎉
I am so excited for you! Closer to family and friends is important! I love how you can so easily navigate through change and renewal! Can’t wait to see what you guys choose 😊
My daughter and I love your videos. I am certain you will decide on the right home for this stage of your life. Good luck🍀
Think its house #1 truley. You seemed so so in love with it and i think it may just be the :perfect: fit for now.
Love your videos. Very professionally done.Visited the Cotswolds and stayed at The Fish and went to the Fox. Had a lovely time on our mini break. Good luck in your house hunting.
Ah just watched the vlog when you moved into your house you are in now- you were soo excited. You will just know when you find your next home. Enjoy the process, look forward to seeing it all unfolds. Glad your moving nearer your family, great support when Kenny is away.
And of course darling Roo. So sweet. ❤
One! The first cottage you said was everything you thought you wanted!
I think the first house with the garden and the view. It would definitely be my choice. Such a beautiful setting. Probably would be wise to get back quickly for some more viewings on different houses just to see more options but if your heart strings are being pulled then that must not be ignored. Good luck 🏠🏠🤞
Advice - slow down. You need to go see another 8 houses (not sure why you came all that way and only saw 4 houses). Take photos and notes and than you willhave more clarity. Even is you choose a small house it is still a big investment. Do not make a decision based on only seeign 4 homes.
Always happy to see your updates🤎
Thanks for another video when I need it the most! I love that you show the background story and always your honesty ❤!
The Cotswolds has to be one of my favourite places - best of luck with your move!
Stroud had a wonderful vintage emporium I've been to a few times. Although the town is a little quiet in the weekdays - very busy at the weekend though.
As en estate agent I would always say if you can look past the surface and really see the potential - and if that potential fits with your ideas of the future - you're on the right track.
Excited to go on this journey with you!!!
I loved your video Hannah. Thank you for sharing your future plans about your home in the Cotswolds!!
When buying a house, and it doesn’t matter where it is you’ve got to get the feelings! Good luck! 👍🥰
Enjoyed the video today. So excited for you to be buying a home in such a beautiful place and very happy that you’re sharing the journey with us. I liked house #2 but they are all lovely.
I reckon you've gone for house number 1 - you were so clearly in love with it. I think you could possibly work around the listed issue and just do minor changes that don't impede on the listing regulations. You LIT UP talking about that house!
House 3 and the area looked beautiful. 😍 I'm just very excited for you and any one you choose will be great! Looking forward to seeing what you decide and how you make it your own.
I lovvve the Cotswolds charm! Excited to see which new house you pick!!
how wonderful! good luck with finding your new home :)
What a beautiful video! All the properties are sublime, as are the settings. Good luck with the house hunting!🍀
Hello from Switzerland 👋
I'm currently listen to a audiobook called "bunburry" something. It plays in the cotswolds i think. So i saw this video & think that's so cool now to see you hunting a house there 😅 i really like your videos 🫶
I think house no1, love this video of the Cotswolds, Iam originally from the north of England and now live in Australia, but the Cotswolds looks a magical place, follow your heart you can work around what your head is saying. Cant wait to follow your journey ❤
I'm going with number three. Number two's kitchen and back door reminded me of one of the places you used to live 😊 enjoy the process and follow your heart
I've never bought a house, but my parents have bought lots and they always say that if it's tugging the heartstrings it is most definitely worth investigating and seriously looking at it. But if there are things that just don't work for you and aren't fixable/changeable, let it go 'cause there will always be other 'dream' houses.
All the homes are so lovely. My recommendation would be to follow your heart. You'll never regret it. I would love to live in such a beautiful area like the Cotswolds. Whenever I visit England, it's the first place I go. Such peace and gorgeous landscapes. I am very excited to join you and Kenny on your house hunting adventures.
I loved number 3 because of the privacy. The garden looked so large, so much so that you could have a greenhouse.
Wow thank you for bringing us along on this journey - what a dream 😻😻 all the houses looked so lovely but house number 3 was SO GORGEOUS but I understand your reservations! - sitting here now just planning a trip to the Cotswolds now 😅
I’m so excited for you! I would 100% agree with your dad to always look at a house on a rainy day, but I think you will just know when it’s the right one 🤍
This was so exciting love your vlogs and living in Cotswolds, I will get to see shopping in Daylsford 😍.
Roo is so cute waggling her tail in the hotel bedroom excited for the viewing...lovely to see Roo in front car seat do you have a harness seat belt wasn't sure. Xx
I think the small house would suit and make you feel, safe, content and happy while Kenny is away so much, but the 3 bed would be amazing..
Wish you all the luck in the world with your house hunting, have fun & enjoy, so exciting!!!!!! All the best from Jan
Supporting you in trusting your gut/ heart/ soul ❤. Love the small cottage 🥰
A beautiful place to move to and it must be so hard to choose, as they all had positives.
You did seem to love the grade II listed one, but I understand your reservations to restrictions.
Think you need to look at more - you will know when you find the right one 🥰
How wonderful! a move to the Cotswolds! I think house no. 1 if it's still on the market ♥
Hannah! Do not waist your time on al those distractions! Just join Kenny, enjoy the time together, even if it's in a place u do not fancy, but such time together will never happen again!
House #1, but any of them would be dreamy ❤
I think house number 1. Good luck with all the viewings 😊
I feel like the very first one will have a beautiful feel in winter.
That's what I was also thinking...snow on the hills
If viewings 1 and 2 are still playing on your mind I’d arrange a second viewing ASAP ask any questions you have … and if you’re still in love make an offer. As you know already properties in the Cotwolds go fast.
I’m visiting the cotswolds in September (coming from the US.) I know I won’t want to leave. How lucky you are to be able to grow up there and return to raise your family ❤ I’d pick house #1 and I kind of think you would too…but maybe not for just yourself…
I am so happy I have found your channel, you're living my dream! I crave the quaint cottage life before having a family too
I loved the kitchen space and light in number 3.
So excited for you and Kenny! I would say house 1 or 3 from what you saw today. House 2 doesn’t seem to make sense (to me) if it wouldn’t work for you living there full time. House 1 the setting was gorgeous and house 3 even though you feel it may be to large I’m of the belief that it’s always better to have more space then you think you might need than less space. In the end you and Kenny have to go with what is best for the two of you! Thank you for taking us along on this new and exciting chapter of your life!❤
Pleased to have stumbled across your channel, very much enjoyed a local wander around. Happy hunting! 🏡
Ps #4 looked charming, but I think you're swaying towards the first?
I think its good your thinking more with your head rather than heart ❤
I have to say number 3 was so beautiful but, follow your heart and listen to your mum and dad xxx
Hi Hannah, just watched the vlog - excited to see more of the move process😍 where is your weekend bag from? It’s exactly what I’m looking for Xx
It's from a brand called July! It's such good quality too xx
Thanks for sharing
Have a good day. ❤
Lovely vlog as always. I always feel calm watching you and look forward to your week. I would say cottage no 1 sounds like the one you are most interested in? Have a good week x
Loved them all but 1 and 3 my favourite ❤❤❤ love Roo
I think #1. You will fill the house and love it.😍
I think you should jump on the home with the great kitchen, bricked in garden and the beautiful iron gated driveway. You also said it was great for the price.. it was also great from our view on here!!! 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
i think the sweet cottage number 2. Thank your for y beautiful video.
Best of luck with your search - the houses were lovely! oxo
The small amount of information shared about each house makes hard yet easy to say which fits you best? It seemed the 1st one with all the beautiful gardens and out buildings really caught your imagination.
I think number one ❤
If your heart is with house number one, then look into how much restriction there would be with it being listed, you may be surprised with what is allowed. It looked perfect. It's so exciting for you both. xx
Grade II listed place for sure!! This is the best one for you guys 😍
Love your navy cardigan in this vid! Where did you get it from? Good luck with the Cotswolds chapter! xx
First❤ i really like the two you saw in the morning ….❤
It’s so beautiful there 🥰
Love that coffee cup! (Oops, tea cup!)
Love you, love your channel. Don't love it when youtubers spend more talking about what they did that day, what they ate, what they saw & what they bought in stores rather than actually *showing* themselves doing these things! I thought we would see 4 houses inside & out, but that was not the case. For ppl in the US, it's interesting to see landscape & houses in other countries. I was def disappointed you didn't show all 4 homes, the properties and details inside/throughout the home. It's like someone going to Disney Land and instead of showing us the trip, inside & rides they sit in their vehicle and just talk about it. Whats the point? It's like watching a movie and instead of seeing action, they talk during the whole movie. Would you want to watch those kind of movies?
Nice to see Rue out with another dog, I love seeing Rue ❤
And the landscape, so beautiful
With the first house, are the out buildings listed too?? Because if they aren’t, could you convert them into the extra living space you want/ need. I love house hunting! I think that you always just know when a house is meant to be for you. 💙
What a beautiful channel Hannah 👌🏾🙏🏾
Love the third house ❤️
I'd say house number 3, perhaps you have been able to envision it more on a long term basis since you've talked about it with Kenny?
❤❤❤
Hi Hannah how are you happy Sunday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter happy summer day
How are you both so rich ?
💜
So fun to house hunt! What kind of dog is that? So cute. Congratulations & enjoy.
House nr.1 😆
House number 3 grabbed me mostly
Love it! I wonder how you will cope with the weather.
Are you from outside the UK? The Cotswolds has a comparatively temperate climate in terms of the UK as a whole. You don’t tend to get extreme weather here unless you’re north of, say, Cumbria and the Lake District. 😊
This is entirely off the subject, but I was curious about your younger sister, Sophie. I haven't received new videos from her in quite a while. I'm guessing she's incredibly busy with her two coffee shops/cafes? I hope all is well with Sophie, and that I was just thinking about her! I TRULY love and MISS her videos, as much as I LOVE yours!!! Blessings to you and yours!! BIG smooch to Roo-Roo!!💓
I believe the house that is you will speak to when you see it.
