Small House or Large Flat?

[C.A.R.]

So the whole 'moving out thing' is becoming stressful as time is ticking by and we still haven't viewed any properties which we would really want to move to.

There is a place which recently vanished off the market which has now reappeared and we're going to view it in 90 minutes!

Thing is I'm in a dilemma, I need to weigh up in my head some pro's and con's but I can't talk to the girlfriend as she is now over her due date and this really stresses her out.

So...

Place number 1 Pro's and Con's
+ It's 4 miles closer to work, avoiding town center traffic (circa 10-15 minutes a day)
- It's a ground-floor flat, looks 'pokey' in some of the pictures but has a large open-plan kitchen/living room
+ It's recently been refurbished
+ It's £65 PCM / £780 a year cheaper

Place number 2...
+ It's a proper, end-of-terrace house (nobody lives above you)
- It's small
+ It's got a front and rear garden, place number 1 has a communal garden
- It's £65 PCM more expensive (effectively an additional months' rent over the course of a year)
+ It's a newer building than place number 1
- It's further away, but only around the corner from where we currently live

So there it is.

Is a garden - place for having BBQs, somewhere for our baby girl to sit and enjoy in the summer - worth that much more over and above a similar property with no garden all on one level?

We have people living above us at present and it only really becomes a problem at night when you wanna sleep and they aren't in bed yet. I guess this could be a more sensitive situation when there's a baby in the house though?
