So we're moving...again. I hate moving. In the past 9 years I've lived in 11 different places. We were hoping to stay where we were till we moved to Canada...but alas...this cannot be as our landlords want to move back in...Fair enough...it is their house after all!
We've decided to move before the baby is born (assuming he doesn't decide to arrive early!) and since we have a dog (our faithful companion Moose) we were limited with places that we could rent. Fortunately we've found a place which is slightly bigger than where we are now but for less money. Slightly bigger doesn't include the loft conversion we currently have...but we never use it really other than the occasional guest and a load of exercise equipment we never use!
The 3 Bedroom House is outside of our beloved Bishop's Stortford in Takeley so that will take some adjustment time...but I'm sure we'll survive! There is a Post Office and a Chippy within walking distance...what else do you need!
Here are some pictures...which we've not taken...I nicked them off the rental site!
The outside of the house...a nice corner lot with not a big front garden (Thank goodness!)
Inside of the house looking from the Lounge towards the dining room and the doors to the conservatory. Nice decent size and open plan but not too open (if that makes any sense!)
The Kitchen. All white goods are included which is great, Cooker, washing machine, Fridge/Freezer and a dishwasher it appears! I'm noticing not a lot of cupboard space but I recall there being quite a bit to the left of the picture including a Pantry like cupboard. I'm not so sure about the frilly valance over the window...but what can you do!
The Back Garden. There is a patio area right outside the Conservatory door and then a small grass area and hardly any flower beds which contain shrubs! Yay! I hate gardening! There is a Shed at the end of the garden at the left hand side and a built in bbq on the corner of the right hand side. I'm sure Smiley will try to get it working! Outside the gate is the Garage and our driveway...So all in all, not a bad spot!
I'm not too keen on the avocado bathroom but who cares what colour it is...as long as it's clean (which it isn't...yet!) The Baby's room will be the smallest room and the other two will be our bedroom and the 'office'
But don't worry if you're hoping to stay with us when you come and visit...we have a double air mattress (a deluxe one!) that we can fit in the lounge or the office or somewhere!
This is going to be our home for the next year and a half (at least!) I just hope we enjoy it!

YAY a post. Oh and our new bathroom is pink. lol
Looks like a good size... I'm sure you will be happy here. Mind you, you will be too busy with the baby to worry about the colour of the bathroom.
Love Mum
I've been wondering what you've been up to! :) Looks like a great place. We just have a 3rd floor, carpeted one-bedroom apartment. True, our fixtures are white, but you will have hardwood floors and a yard....and I'm sure you can just store that awful valance somewhere and put it back up when you leave.
Moving sucks, but it's a good chance to go through your stuff and whittle it down a little before the baby arrives and takes all your time! :)
Nice place. And congrats on the baby - for some reason that fact escaped me until about a week ago.
Don't let the Pikeys pinch any of your stuff during the move...
