Retreat Advice needed

[Lightspeed]

Well Mrs Lightspeed and I have finally concurred taht a proper retreat style home is to be sought in the new year.

I've just started drawing up my list of attributes we'll need in that building.

Please can I ask you guys who've been prepping for a long time to advise me if there are thinsg that I should add to my list?

Here's what we've come up with so far:

• Enough elevation to avoid flooding

• Isolated from other properties

• Set back from access roads, ideally hidden from them.

• Construction

o Older property, slightly run down looking better than holiday home refurbished look.

o Stone built lower ground storey with cellar

o One or two stories above in Brick or stone

o One or more open fires with chimneys in good repair.

o At least three bedrooms, Lounge and kitchen + 1 functioning bathroom with inside plumbed WC

o Big overhang on roof so that walls can be insulated on outside

o South facing large roof area for PV cells.

o Garage or space for garage and workshop for 2 vehicles

o Drinking water well in Garden

o Foundation of rock, suitable for Geothermal bore hole.

o Properly constructed cesspit

• Land fertile and large enough for small holding fruit and veg

• Close access to woodland

What have we missed? All thoughts and ideas appreciated.
