Went out flat hunting again on Friday morning with mum and we saw some places that you'd not even wish your enemies lived in! How they get away with putting these places up for rent is beyond me but I think I've found the perfect place to live.

I'd arranged to meet the agent (from a reputable firm) to see a flat not too far away. This flat looked really nice in the photo and the spec looked good too. This had 2 bedrooms and also a garage for less than what I'm paying now. It was a second floor flat and the flats were all built around a small private courtyard for parking. On our was in, the agent said there was another one available on the first floor and did I know. I didn't so she let us into the flat to take a look. We walked into a very tiny entranceway before going through a door into the lounge. This was really quite bright and light and it was the full length of the building with the light obviously coming in through both sides. Quite a bit bigger than the one I have here. Two more doors led off the lounge. One near the back of the room which led to a nice bright spacious kitchen (well more spacious than I have now and my current kitchen does not have any natural light!) with the only downside being very little cupboard space. The other door off the lounge led to a corridor which had 4 doors coming off it. One the left was the main bedroom, straight in front was the small second bedroom and on the left was the lovely bathroom and a very large storage cupboard. I absolutely loved it. Me and mum were both walking round saying where we thought my furniture would look best!!

We then went upstairs to the one on the second floor. The bathroom was smaller, as were both bedrooms and the kitched was also smaller and was open plan with the living area. The only feature I loved in this one was the shelf that rested on the end of some exposed beams along the whole length of the living area. We went straight back downstairs to have another look around that one.

We went to some more after this, but I'd pretty much made my mind up that I was going to go for it. We went down to the agency for an application form and the earliest opportunity I have to take my completed form and relevant paperwork in is 4pm monday afternoon....... fingers crossed no one has put in for it before I do as I WANT IT!
