Nice place but some disappointments
While the house was well presented, clean and comfortable there were a few concerns. We could only open one window in the whole house. The bath was a concern. There was a warning to stand only in the middle of the bath or it would tip. It also leaked and was a safety hazard stepping out of the bath onto a wet floor even with a mat. There were also some issues with the kitchen. We could not find one usable saucepan in the cupboard as they were all scratched and rusted. We managed to find a frypan to use. It appears there are a few areas that need to be upgraded. The back garden was very untidy and disappointing.
