Description of the home we are offering for exchange
LOOKING FOR SWAP SUMMER 2020- Nice family house and garden. Plenty of games for children, more for girls than boys to be honest... A lot of toys outside (tennis, trampoline, bicycles,... ) On the ground floor, there's a light and espacious kitchen, an extra corridor as washing place. On the other side living room and salon, with WC on ground floor in the hall.
On the first floor 3 sleeping rooms (1 master bedroom, 1 with 1 bed, the other with 2 beds). Also bathroom on the first floor, not yet brand new, but perfectly functioning.
The second floor in under the roof, with brand new bath room, 1 sleeping room with 1 bed + bank/bed. Plenty of space for extra (camping)beds.
Last but not least, a very big garden (+- 1000 m²). A first part with terrace and trampoline, second part with a small vegetable garden, various berries plants, ... space enough to play, to sit, to read, to have a bbq !
