Got the keys on Friday after what seems like an absolute age.
~1900 odd 3 bedroom mid terrace.
Evenings are going to be very busy.
excuse potato pics weather hasn't been great
Front
Rear
Garden - it's just over 41m in length, 5m wide but there are lots of trees and bushes which are taking up a lot of space so need to sort them.
Pictures don't do it justice, it's ridiculously big.
Kitchen / dining room - open plan so nice and big.
Pulled up the carpet in here today and the floorboards are decent. Few holes here and there so we'll have to replace them but it's decent.
Some nice tiles as well were hidden away.
Bathroom - Technically shower room as there is no bath at the minute. It'll do for the time being.
Back bedroom - We'll have this as the main bedroom.
Front bedroom - Has a length long ceiling heigh mirror fronted wardrobe built in. So we'll be using this as a dressing / guest room.
I'll try and get some pictures of the front room and the 3rd bedroom / study tomorrow.
Everything is pretty much good, just general sprucing up needs doing really.
Main goings on at the moment are:
There's a pantry room to the side of the front door which has been plumbed up for a washing machine so we'll make use of that. There's a outbuilding with a toilet in one part and coal store the other. Unfortunately the toilet doesn't work so will need to check out the plumbing at some point but we'll probably just use it as a wash room or something.
Any way that's it for now. In work all this week, week after we're away on holiday, got a van for the 31st to move our big stuff (sofa, bed, dressing table) from our flat so going to be a little busy this week with the flooring downstairs. Tenancy ends 17th November so got quite a bit of time before we have to move properly but the holiday will eat into a lot of it!
Got this today though, I look forward to using it.

Main goings on at the moment are:
- Removing wallpaper from front room & 3rd bedroom / study. It's some horrible textured stuff. Really thick stuff but luckily they had the rooms skimmed before they put on it a couple of years a go and no plaster has come off yet.
- Removing carpets from all of downstairs, inspect the floorboards, sand etc. Unsure if we'll laminate in the dining area to go with what's already in the kitchen.
- Need to get a sparky in. Front security light doesn't work, need to sort out a rear outside light(s) and sockets. Front room, study and main bedroom only have 1 double socket in so need something sorting there before we paint.

I much prefer neutral colours and let features with colours set the room off, especially in a room such as a kitchen 
). Would be good if we could use the originals in the bedroom & living room as well.
