Goldfish Mansion went to someone else, though they took almost a week to tell me. So it's a good thing I didn't trust the agents and did look all day Saturday, and Monday, and Tuesday. Actually Tuesday was the last day I have looked. I found not one but two suitable properties.
The choice between
The shiny new ground floor apartment in large complex by the river. Property is unfurnished with 2 glittering bathrooms, two paved porches, glittering kitchen with whiteware disguised as cupboards and gym and carpark and all, overlooking a pretty overgrown derilect church. Close to the river and large parks, there is a pub sort of close by and then a busy intersection. Situated in Zone 3 near 2 train lines and 1 tube line. We shall call this Church House.
And the ground floor flat of a victorian terrace in a residential street. Property is in poor decorative order, fully furnished with 2 fully featured bathrooms (not glittering), reasonably sized aging basement kitchen, a large living room dominated by dark blue carpet, opening into a green, yet overgrown garden complete with aging bbq setting. Located in Zone 2 with walkable distance to 4 tube lines and 1 rail line, and cafes and shops at the end of the steet. We shall call this Blue House.
I have put an offer in on one of them, can you guess which? Which would you prefer?
