The flat in which we are living is a converted old stable. There was a block of stables which served the Abbey in times past, and the school decided some year ago to convert them into acccomodation for teachers. Needless to say the building is very old, but the conversion was done well, and although while we have been here only a few weeks there have been several calls to plumbers for water supply and heating problems, we are more than happy with our lot.
They call them unfurnished, but previous tenants have left things which they have purchased such as microwave/electric jug/toaster/coffee maaker/computer desk etc. So while we had to buy bed linen/crockery/cutlery/bedside tables and lamps - it was not too expensive to set ourselves up in comfort. Of course we will leave all these things behind when we come home, so the flat will then be "fully furnished".
The flat is on the edge of the school grounds, so Carol walks to work each day, and it is also just across the road from the Golf Club which suits me fine.
Hopefully I can now include some photos of the flats taken from the courtyard to give you an idea of the place.
