What is disappointing is the condition of the property â itâs dated and in need of investment all around. It is not of the standard that could justify the price. While cleanliness inside the house was good there are a few areas that are not satisfactory - windows in particular are very dirty and garden is neglected (overgrown, rotten apples on the floor, dirty furniture, cracked tiles etc). The house inside, despite being clean, has an unpleasant smell (damp?) which is very prominent as you walk in, gets less so later. The beds are small and while in the master bedroom the bed was ok other guests complained of mattresses being worn out. Two more things affected us but the first one we knew about in advance, and the second was just unfortunate I guess. 1- the policy of no bedding/towels or any provisions (shower gel, shampoo, washing tablets) or food (even basics like salt/pepper). It feels more appropriate for a bottom of the range places where every penny counts, not suitable for a property in this price bracket. Somehow takes away any feeling of welcome/convenience for guests. 2-there was some building work going on during 2 days on both properties (bottom of the garden and to the right). This was generating noise and dust.

There are eight lights not working in the sitting room, the extractor fan in the bathroom no longer works. There are numerous large cracks in the walls and ceiling, in several rooms. There is a constant musty, damp, off putting bad smell throughout the house, unless the doors or windows are left open, as soon as a room is shut up, it returns. This property is perfectly placed in the town for all requirements, but it is unloved both in the building and garden, which is a huge shame, it has great potential.

It has always met our needs as a family. This year it smelt unpleasantly of dog and we wondered if the carpets need cleaning? Similarly the sofas and the two smaller bedrooms. It was fortunate that the property was inhabited this particular week as the roof felt came off and we were able to alert John Bray and avoid a serious leak through the kitchen ceiling. Overall the property is becoming dated, the doors to the garden are awkward to open, draughty and one piece of glass has blown, the acoustics in the lounge require at least a large rug to deaden the hollowness of the wooden floor, both televisions should be smart, and the number of single beds means the property no longer meets our requirements. A king size bed in the master bedroom would also increase the propertyâs appeal compared to other properties nearby.
