Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We have a comfortable home with two bedrooms (one with double bed, the other set up as a reading / tv room with a double sofabed), living room, downstairs study and a recently renovated bathroom and kitchen / dining area that leads to a large sunny deck. There are polished floorboards, a gas cooktop, convection oven, gas central heating, laundry cupboard and wifi throughout.
