In winter it was lovely, very cosy, in fact, which is important to me as I really feel the cold, whereas my husband will open a window when it's minus temperatures outside! Anyway, in July when summer really started and we had that heatwave, we understood why no one had wanted to rent it over summer. It was perfect – a bigger garden for the kids and enough space for an office. They'd put the price down since the summer too, I suppose because it had been empty so long, so that made it more affordable for us which helped us make up our minds. It wasn't until November when they readvertised it that we got in touch with the agency and had a look. We saw the ad in the summer, in about July, I think, but we weren't really serious about moving then so we didn't even go and see it.
