We lived in the middle of nowhere, down a lane way a farmhouse to our right, fields all around, a lake down the road. At night joyriders would fly past our house and sometimes stop to drink outside our gate. The house was old, cold, very damp with carpet everywhere and for some strange reason dead flies regularly everywhere no matter how often you got rid of them!!!!
It also had the tiniest kitchen (if two people stood in it you hit off each other) and no dishwasher (this still bugs me nearly the most because I had enough other stuff to be cleaning lol).
There was single glazing and a wind would sometimes go through the house. The sitting room had a fire but the room wasn’t always warm. When you walked out of it at night the hall hit you like ice:(
It was where our kids first got asthma and there were regular chest infections and ear infections. The landlord changed out broken cookers, washing machines etc with 2nd hand stuff and the plumbers and electricians would apologise. Saying all of this we had the most amazing garden with rabbits in the field behind us and horses one side and cows behind the farmhouse and played amazing games daily!
We lived there two and a half years until he rang up yelling at me because I’d texted him telling him the washing machine was broken- he said the plumber had once found the machine was clogged with a kids toy and we’d have to pay this time (for reference the washing machine and its friends broke 6 times while we lived there, that was the only time it was because of us). When I asked could we change some carpet he said it wasn’t working. At the time in our town there were only three properties online and he only gave us a month. So scary, we were so lucky we found somewhere! I’ve never moaned about where I’ve lived since!!
