The extension part of the house is nice, some poorly cut flooring around this area and the kitchen could have done with a good clean tbh. The garden was nice as well. The downstairs bedroom smelt badly of damp, we then noticed black mould on the bedding later in the evening which was shocking to say the least when paying these prices. There was also mould on the roman blinds and the en suite smelt worse. The washing machine was thick of black grime in the seals and it reeked as did the dishwasher, the waste catch basket was fully of other peoples food. Avoid this one.
