Which house?

[MrsElle]

House One (current)

Large detached house on edge of village.
Fields on three sides, main A road to front.
Horses kept on rented land 150 yards away through village.
Rent £695 Field Rent £40 (per month)
No facilities except for water at field.

House Two

Smaller detached cottage on a livery yard.
Fields front, rear and both sides, well away from road.
Possible to keep horses just a few feet from front door.
Rent £475 DIY Livery £240
Livery includes all hay and straw, use of horse walker and menage.

I don't know what to do. The idea of moving to a smaller property was to save money. The property is ideal and I don't have to take the horses there but it would be nice to see my own horses out of my living room window and not someone elses!

However, if I take the horses the outgoings will be much the same so won't actually save anything unless I can negotiate with the yard owner and get the livery fees down a bit.

Which would you choose?

2, because you'd be no worse off, they'd be a bit closer and you'd have the facilities to use!

but, i'd work on the YO to reduce fees if you can!

House 2 because being on a yard now that has a menege I couldn't live without one. So yes I'd choose house 2 for the use of facilities as it makes life (especially in winter) so much easier.

I would choose house two, but that seems an awful lot of money for DIY?
