Very true, Zoe. We've never lived in one, though. I think because of the fire risk. We're in our fourteenth home in our fifty seventh (? I think) year of marriage, and after my latest trip now thinking seriously about bungalow living!!!!
You're really too young to be thinking about a bungalow Mike, but perhaps it might be advantageous in view of your dodgy lower sinister limb. You could build a ground-level cellar in the garden, I believe folk call them "sheds".
I like the look of the thatched roof, but fear they may be rather costly and not so practical. I would worry about the fire risk and saw a picture a few days ago of a cottage in Norfolk that had sunk because, they thought, of the weight of its thatched roof.

Thatched cottages have so much charm!
