Super cheap. When I get to move back, I could take a substantial pay cut and still be better off than I am in London.

Really great location - can walk to most places, loads of buses if not.

At the back of the building so all you hear outside are birds. Our last place was at the front, overlooking the street, and I found it really hard to sleep in the summer from the random bursts of noise. Also I’ve made friends with some cats that hang out there!!!

I love coming home to it and after 100 days without a sofa I will never take them for granted ever again.

Think my favourite thing is our dining table, used to have every meal off our laps on a sofa in our old flat and the novelty of a dining table is not wearing off.

It’s pretty big by 2 bed Cambridge rental property standards - 20 ft by 15 ft living room, and the same again for the kitchen/dining room, then a long garden.

I hate everything else about it, though, so this is sneakily a downside because it’s made all the other similarly priced places feel tiny.

I’m not racist but…we’re basically in a very muslim area - so one of the best things is “no white people”.

don’t get me wrong, I’ve nothing against white people but they get drunk all the time, have loud barbecues and generally act like dicks*. apart from a few fireworks around Eid and that - these people are fine.

*this may be from bitter experience of having some terrible neighbours in the past

It’s bigger than anywhere I’ve lived before
It’s got my lovely family in it
It’s only 45 seconds walk to the pub
It’s really close to the centre of town

There’s actually a toilet in the basement next to the washing machine and tumble drier. Could feasibly set up a @craigfoley hamster piss tube from the bedroom…

Having a separate office has improved my mental health loads

Location - technically in town but nice and quiet, opposite our favourite pub

The building management company are sound

Fuck knows how but it generally stays cool in summer. I mean this heatwave’s battered through it and we’ve had to get the fan on most days but, in general, it’s not too hot until it hits 28 or so. Also because it’s a small flat when it gets cold in winter generally takes 5 minutes or so to warm up (which is also great for fuel efficiency)

Barn conversion in the middle of nowhere so:

  • massive open plan living space with floor-to-ceiling doors/windows
  • horses out back
  • emus in the next field
  • alpacas
  • very few people
  • very very quiet

The garden backs on to woodland which is lovely, great to sit out there at dusk and watch the bats and listen to the stream.

My bedroom is very big and i have a four-poster bed with fairy lights draped over the top (very nice for atmosphere).

It is right next to a park (and RIGHT next to the community hub building that acts as a polling station). It’s 2 minutes away from a corner shop too, which (having previously been 20 mins away from any shops) is life-changing.

And the bathroom is also massive so we have room for a crosstrainer machine in there. Genuinely no idea what happens to that when i have to move out.

How did the garden reveal go down last night man?
