Getting away from the hustle & bustle of the City

[T.W.R]

Since the beginning of June I've been predominantly located in ChCh with my partner and we've been continually talking about getting away from the city and finding a nice place and some land out of town.
After 20yrs of being based in Chertsey I wasn't at ease with the hideous continual drone of town & My better half having grown up in rurally had desires to return to the peace & quite of country living.
After doing a bit of hunting around, and doing a few open homes we stumbled apon a place that ticked most of the boxes for us both. So after doing a few sums things were put into action.
The house here was put on the market and sold within 3wks and a contract was drawn up on the new house.
As of last Thursday we went unconditional and shall be taking the keys on the 16th of next month :2thumbsup

Haven't got many pics of the place and the agents have removed it from their listings.

But she's a two story, 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom outfit. But there's a nice BIG garage with internal access :wari: and 4 acres of land.

And on the doorstep to some nice wee places to ride :Punk:

Congrats. I wish I had the moola to buy a house. If only motorbikes wernt so expensive (my one only is because I keep putting lots of kms on it and to keep the warrentee I have to get it "serviced" -which is a waste of lots of money. Everything they do I can do just as good).

But yea as I was saying, congrats on the new house. May you fill the garage with many and varied bikes.

3mths of living on a fairly popular road is driving me :wacko: there's more traffic here within 1hr than there was all week out at Chertsey, there'll be a bit of traffic at Charing Cross on the Bealey Rd but that's way down the bottom of the property.

Rakaia 15mins away, Waimak Gorge 10mins, & trout in the upper Selwyn 5-10mins away :doobey:

:crazy: ha I'm not sure about a choice in the matter :pinch: least it's remote enough not have any issues with neighbours :2thumbsup

lol the garage is way big enough...... twice as deep as a standard skyline double & half as wide again so there heaps of space compared to what I've been used too. Been waiting for the little red meanie to show up, even solved a couple of issues with Sam's GB the other day
