Ooh, thanks everyone! This is very helpful. Will let you know what we go for!

My extended family and I are looking for a nice country house/cottage to stay in over the Christmas holidays. Does anyone have any recommendations for places they've stayed in the past? We're looking for something with three double bedrooms and nice walks in the surrounding area. Thanks!

Also, Minder, if we do move there it would be nice to say hello to your folks! Instant neighbour bonding! xxx

That is extremely helpful everyone! Thanks so much, feel much better about it now. :)-D will show this thread to the OH! northlondoner, I will have a look at some of the Forest Hill properties you mentioned. Minder, your post has really put my mind at ease! We'll go and have another goosey and maybe put an offer in! Keep your fingers and toes crossed for us! CB

My partner and I live in East Dulwich and have been trying to buy a house here for some time. We've found one we like within our price range, however as with most properties that fall within our budget it is outside of East Dulwich. I was wondering if anybody knows the area round Dylways off Denmark Hill, also near sunray, and if you could tell me if it's rough? It's near an estate but during the day it looked alright... no grafitti etc. The house is ideal and it's near all those lovely old houses just off denmark hill, but the estate is a worry. Any help (don't spare me, I can take bad news) would be much appreciated. love and thanks!
