Also if your wife is going to be at home looking after the kids it'll make for a far happier house if she is close to friends / shops / cafes, stuff to do etc...an extra bedroom, bigger garden will not make your life as happy as a content wife / child.
Plenty of time yet to get older and mess up their lives / hope & dreams.....
if my wife is reading this the above was only done for comedic value.

@Cornish_Bike, That's kind of what I've been telling myself.
If we go for this we'll end up adding a fair bit of value with the lost conversion and renovation. We'll get what we want right now and although it's not fully future (baby) proof, it will reduce the mortgage considerably so if we decided to move on in say 3-5 years then we'd be in a strong position. I guess that's the way to think of it.
Also, I've just trawled the listings in the town we're moving to again and literally nothing new has been added for the last two weeks. We've seen and either been outbid on or rejected everything else.
We are under offer and solicitors are being instructed this week so it's the point of no return in terms of committing to costs...
I think i'm going to have to unclench and go with it.
