Move house or move from house

Hi,

A friend of mine got a new job in another town.

She does not want to abandon her existing house. Because she has been living their for several years and she has bought a lot of furniture which is ideal to the house.

1. She does not like move from house.
2. She does not like move house.

Is the second sentence fine too?

Thanks Clive

She does not want to move house.
So the above is fine.

Her house is an immovable large property.
You can't physically move it.
Doesn't it border that she physically does not want to move her house?

You can move furniture.
But you can't move house.

Hi,

'To move house' means, idiomatically, to move from one house to another. eg sell one house and buy another.

Interesting. I've never heard the expression to move house either in that meaning or in any other.

"To move house" is a British idiomatic expression. In the U.S., we would just say "to move." The context would make it clear that you were talking about moving from one house to another ("We don't have a telephone yet and all our stuff is still in boxes, because we just moved."), rather than just moving around a little bit. ("Darn it! You moved just as I took the picture.")

By tthe way
