    Well, our garage in the place we are renting now (coach house) has full contents of bedroom 3 from previous house, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and is also used as a pantry. You think I could call it a self-contained flat? (Sorry, no water just electricity and no windows). It also has an armchair! Oh well, 2 more months till this contract ends and I am looking for a decent house to rent...

    tbh I've no idea what's in our garages. Chaffeur always parks the cars. Tried it once myself - damn nearly reversed over one of our deer. Arf, arf!

    It is more likely to be something like the first one, The Howard - can anyone find the floorplans - we can quickly decide is there storage in the house!
    fitted kitchen with integrated appliances
    stylish range cooker
    choice of co-ordinating wall tiles
    separate dining room
    useful family room
    useful ground floor study
    master suite with dressing area
    fitted wardrobes to four bedrooms
    en suite to three bedrooms
    stylish white bathroom suite

    Only if you are living in one of our tied cottages, didn't even know they had broadband, will get that sorted out. I suggest you get back to work immediately.

    I now doubt there is, that site is terrible.
  • i cant see the social housing landlords will move the scum onto these estates, i think they would be more inclined to have the hard working families the either dont want to own or cant afford to own, it will be good for them to have a nice place in a nice mixed community of similar minded people who are trying their best to get on life, i would jump at the chance of some where like that, based on thoes values,

    im prety sure that localy to me some of the nicest areas are mixed, aways have been, and they only allow working families to rent their, i expect the same will happen with most of these houses.
