You would need all your passwords for the various apps, thatâs if you had them in the first place. Needs an Ariel to simplify things. Also only 2 sharp knives, a paring and a bread knife, nothing in between.

Just a few issues the owner may want to consider addressing. 1. Issue regards parking on driveway needs to be addressed more. Had a neighbour come round after a day or so to tell me to move our car onto the driveway. His manner was not good . The driveway entrance needs to be looked at. Firstly the kerb needs lowering. My car with 5 passenger's in was bottoming out when either drove in or out. In other words the the sills of the car were scraping on the kerb which has caused damage to my car. Driveway needs widening.... Not a lot of room width wise. Also bathroom shower curtain needs replacing. If you are not careful water can easily get on bathroom floor causing a leak in to kitchen below. Finally better instruction's need to be provided for kitchen appliances. Eg . Cooker, washing machine and drier. Also TV in living room as well. TV doesn't seem to have Freeview installed? Sorry to be picky....But have been asked to give feedback.

The garage and house are separate. There is a porch area connecting the two. Your dog is expected to sleep here, with the the door to the house closed. No! There is no terrestrial to, you have to use iPlayer or ITVX. The enclosed garden for the dogs is very small. The photos taken of the garden that looks long and large are not. Also the beds have ends on them, be aware, if you are a tall person like me itâs not great. On the plus side, itâs very handy location for Salcombe, and the views are great from there. There is a bus near the property that goes into Salcombe also.
