New-built house in East Midlands
Welcome to our home, ideal for a couple or family looking to explore the Midlands.
It is a 3-bedroom detached house built just over a year ago in a small new estate (always very quiet) with a green area and playground area just in front.
The house has:
- a bright kitchen/diner, with a big table and seating for 8. I`m a keen cook/baker so you`ll find any kind of utensils
- a downstairs toilet
- a lounge with two sofa (one is a double sofa bed) and a keyboard
- a master bedroom with a double bed
- a bathroom with bath and shower head
- a kids bedroom with a bunk-bed (the bunk bed has a third pull out bed) with xbox, games and board games
- a single bedroom
- an outside garden area with garden table, electric barbecue and a big trampoline
- fast BT wi-fi (we`ve two PC monitors and a printer if you need to work)
- parking spaces on the side and in front of the house
- there`s a washing machine and an airier but not a drier
- we don`t smoke and don`t have any pets. You`re welcome to smoke in the garden and to bring your non-furry pets (sorry I`m allergic to dogs/cats)
