'Who knew buying a house could be so dangerous?

'I recently had the great idea that moving back home to Westport and being close to my family again would be good for my soul.

Especially now that grandma has moved into my childhood bedroom.

'Thankfully it hasn’t taken me long to find the house of my dreams – or nightmares. It’s really a question of perspective.

'The lonely run-down old Victorian in need of major renovations has tugged on my heartstrings, and before I can stop myself, I’ve fallen head over heels in love with it. Unfortunately, I’m not the only one who wants it, and the other bidders aren’t playing nice.

'If only it was that easy…'
