Not for sale, but a very worthy addition.

It isn't my taste, but I love that she had the passion to do it.

Nice house, but why do they say 6 bedrooms when the floorplan only says 5?

I'm afraid this was such a great human interest story, and so well publicised, even the Beeb found out:

Oops, sorry. I figured the fact that it came up in my Herts news feed the local paper would have got in first. Oh well.:o

I wonder what will happen when the flat is re-allocated to the next tenants.

When my sister was allocated a council flat is was clear that the previous occupant had been a very heavy smoker. She was just given a chit for a couple of tins of paint and told to get on with it.

The owner mentioned in an interview that she knows it will get covered in magnolia for the next tenants.
