Climbing up the property ladder is an ambition for many who have hopes of one day achieving their dream home. But for one couple in Cheshire, the process of buying and selling homes left them with the desire to try something completely new.
After living in their lovely three-bed cottage in Mobberley for four years, Gem and Doug Beeston-Perry, both 36, say they got 'itchy feet'. Whilst on their honeymoon last year, the pair made the daring decision to sell their £580,000 house, as well as their business, and instead bought a motorhome for £90,000.
The couple are now preparing to embark on their travels around Europe in their van named 'Lottie', along with their dog, Noah. Gem spoke to the Manchester Evening News as part of our Where I Live series, where each week we chat to a different homeowner from across the north west about their house buying journey; whilst taking a look inside their home.
