The only thing we want to do soon-ish is add an extra window in the attic bedroom.
It's only a kilometer from the city center of Gouda. 86 meters from the front door is a big Lidl supermarket. If we get the house I might see if I can get a job there, nothing beats a work commute of going down the stairs, but living less than 100 meters from work is great, too. The street the house is on isn't very busy, but the road the Lidl is on is busier. We walked to a restaurant just before 5 pm and it was busy, but not too busy. When we walked back two hours later it was quiet. Also, the house is well insulated so you couldn't hear it from indoors and barely heard the traffic when in the garden.
The deadline is at noon on Monday. I hope we get it, not just because we love it, but also the visiting of houses is time consuming and energy draining with all the other things going on at the moment. |
Oh, that's really cute and has a lot going for it, Rumple! I've got my fingers crossed.
