'We sold our £580,000 house and bought a motorhome'
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.
"Our first house wasn't in too bad condition but we did a bit of light cosmetic work to it. We were in it for two years and then sold it and made a bit of a profit. "We'd been in our house for four years which is the longest we'd been in any house and to be honest we just had itchy feet," Gem said. "We've always wanted to go travelling, but our dog is one of the main reasons we’re doing it in a motorhome - so that he can come with us."
"It was brand new so we haven't done anything to it in terms of renovating but we've just added things onto it like a water filter, outdoor gas BBQ point, an outdoor shower and a ceiling fan in our bedroom," Gem said. "We’d never stepped foot in a motorhome before, it was only when we sold the house we thought we'd better try it out," Gem said.
The couple are currently living at Gem's parents before heading off on their travels in their van in July. Gem and Doug are going to start their new venture in France with the hopes of travelling to several different parts of Europe.
