The view from the hallway, spot the green carpet and green wall paper (which is slowly peeling off the walls), the massive radiator under the window onto balcony, kaylite ceiling rose... Why is it everyone puts radiators under windows?? There's issues with furniture, you can't have long curtains or close curtains if you have long ones, and surely its silly having a radiator near the warmest part of the room (the window in our living room). Is this just a British thing? Until we moved to England, I didn't know what a radiator was..as far as we knew, in winter you used blankets, lots of layers of clothing and electric heaters - dredged from the dark backs of cupboards(when you had electricity) and wood fires if you had a fireplace.
the view of the balcony door, corner shelving which is scary and even more wires and cables... theres a phone point in the kitchen, lounge, both bedrooms...and cables everywhere...
What it looked like when we moved in...
And back onto the hallway, where there is another radiator by the doorway...it's location means that there is no door. The door is currently sitting in the main bedroom along with another door from somewhere, we don't know where. Theres hundreds of tiny picture hooks and little screw/nail holes in the walls... hundreds...
So...its big, its huge in fact.. about 4.5 x 4 metres or near enough. Considering its the second lounge we have had in the uk, the last one being just under 3mx3m. It also needs a little work to fix up and make livable. I think a bit of paint and fixer would transform it, and furniture...
