As it’s Easter, I might have to open one of these 1970s Armagnacs later this evening.. but first, a Sauternes and Colheita Port

The place I bought in near Manchester has that Vibe. split level bungalow with a great dark wood ceiling...The question is do I restore it to modern taste or go full Playboy Mansion and buy 6 coupe champagne glasses, and five bunny suits...(for the 5 bunnies, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,, Thursday and Friday, Taking Saturday and Sunday off as I'll have a weak end!)

That’s fab! It really needs a yellow **** pile carpet and some decent mid century furniture. I’d love a house like that, obviously without the rain, weird language and orange coloured locals.The place I bought in near Manchester has that Vibe. split level bungalow with a great dark wood ceiling...The question is do I restore it to modern taste or go full Playboy Mansion and buy 6 coupe champagne glasses, and five bunny suits...(for the 5 bunnies, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,, Thursday and Friday, Taking Saturday and Sunday off as I'll have a weak end!)

Complete overhaul I’d say.. looks like a great place. Plenty of potential.The place I bought in near Manchester has that Vibe. split level bungalow with a great dark wood ceiling...The question is do I restore it to modern taste or go full Playboy Mansion and buy 6 coupe champagne glasses, and five bunny suits...(for the 5 bunnies, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,, Thursday and Friday, Taking Saturday and Sunday off as I'll have a weak end!)
Looks a bit like my house pre renovation!

I've seen some horrors and delights in my house hunting activitites. From ones where you wipe your feet on the way out, to the ones where they had a trinket from EVERY garden centre in the North-West without thinking of an overall scheme, to ones which where so clinical I thought we'd have to roll our sleeves up and walk round like doctors waiting for their gloves....
@CatmanV2 Split-level Bugalow is basically a bungalow on the side of the hill. Go in at the top of the hill, come out the back 30 foot down the hill but you too have droppped a floor or too.
@Bebs Full overhaul, deffo. rewire (it has 3 phase connectivity
, needs further investigation! Won't be used for EV
) Solar on the roof , batteries in the double garage, insulate, insulate and insulate, ASHP, wired network, new kitchen, bathroom/bog, might change the carpets 
and put in a solid fuel burner (has chimney and would look good in that lounge, whilst overlooking the greatest city on earth from my full height picture window, present one is only 3/4 size) put not this year, live in first and assess what's what.

It's all food for thought but the main task is to complete the sale of my old place dahn sarf and the purchase of ooop norf, hopefully by the end of June. There's a good chance of being homeless during the Le Mans trip...and as Paul Young said....
