Saturday was another day spent in Newport helping a friend look at some rental properties. As she has already booked a moving company at the end of March is was getting fairly urgent that a decision was made. I am glad to say she has finally picked one.
The first place we went to clearly had damp coming through the walls. The house had been freshly painted and the real estate agent even had the audacity to say it was going to be re-painted. Like that was going to help?
The second place had huge living room windows that looked out across farmland but the kitchen was incredibly bad.
The third one was the winner. As soon as you walked in it felt warm and homely. It really helped to have a lot of furniture already in there which went with the period style of the house. Lots of warm, dark honey coloured woods and soft, blue walls. It has a fabulous, tiled kitchen with a huge cooker, built in fridge and freezer, conservatory room with washer and dryer, one bedroom downstairs, three bedrooms and bathroom upstairs, under house storage, garden shed and a backyard. The bedroom downstairs will be changed back to a dining. Two bedrooms upstairs each have fireplaces and the living room and front room also have fire places. The front room (currently a bedroom) has a fabulously decorated fireplace with the most luscious coloured blue tiling. As soon as my mate saw it she couldn’t sign on the dotted line quick enough. Job well done.
