Play Play Cottage

I was too anxious to take photos, so for now a description will have to do.
I will do it in my best Estate Agent manner.

1.)
Fuckwit Pom Agent Description

Spacious , well appointed cottage in Surbiton
Accessible transport and shopping
Newly decorated, neutral throughout.
Large reception room.
2 Double bedrooms, 'eat in' kitchen, modern bathroom
Large private garden.

2.)
Saffa Estate Agent Description

Cosy Cottage for 2.
2 bed, 1 bath, kitchen, lounge.
Manageable garden.
Close to all amenities

3.)
Real Description

Teeny tiny cottage with teeny tiny garden, teeny tiny bedrooms, teeny tiny bathroom, surprisingly biggish kitchen, bigger than both bedrooms put together, interesting use of space in what is the lounge/dining/family/stair/entrance area.
Neat and clean and new carpets and actually quite charming really...
5 minute (brisk walk) to station
10 mins more realistically.
Truly close to very nice shops and bus routes.
Has garden shed for extra storage
And , rather surprisingly....garden service every 2 weeks included in rent. Probably a wee dwarfie person will come around with a pair of scissors and snip the lawn in about 5 minutes flat.

Some rather lovely features such as sky lights, gas fireplace that looks like a real fire...bay window, and of course, even though it is unfurnished...fridge, freezer, washer , dryer and dishwasher.

I think I am going to like it.

  1. Surbiton is a real place?!! All my life watching Tom and Barbara, Margot and Jerry on "The Good Life" and thinking Surbiton was made-up for the show. Thank you for the education.
