We have plans for most of 2022 but, depending how things go, we will be interested in England from 2023 on, particularly East Anglia, Devon and Cornwall, or the Midlands. Scotland, Europe, Canada and New Zealand are also of interest to us in 2023 and on. We are also interested in an exchange at any time in Melbourne for 2-3 weeks.

Our house was built in 1993 and we have lived here since it was built. It has 2 storeys with 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and separate toilet upstairs. Each of us has a study in the second and third bedrooms but the second bedroom has a sofa which converts to a comfortable double bed. There is also a computer and printer and Wi-Fi throughout the house. The main bedroom has a queen bed and a walk in wardrobe. We could accommodate 4 people in the 2 doubles but it would probably be more comfortable for 2 or 3 only.

Downstairs, the living room opens onto an elevated deck which looks over trees and the adjoining park. There is a large LCD TV with DVD player/recorder as well as a quality hi fi system and lots of CDs. The dining room has large windows opening onto the garden. The kitchen is adjacent and has all the usual appliances – refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, etc. A guest toilet and small laundry completes the downstairs. There is a front loading washing machine and dryer in the laundry. The house has reverse cycle air conditioning and a security system.

We live in a very quiet cul de sac adjacent to a large, attractive park and nature reserve. Our small garden is very private and the native shrubs attract lots of colourful birds. There is a lock-up garage which houses our car, a 2001 Holden Astra automatic sedan (old but well maintained and very reliable), and this is available for exchange also. Pet and smoke free home.
