Upon arrival my husband immediately said “it looks rough”, as soon as we opened the front door, it became obvious the property was in an unacceptable condition. The walls, doors and ceilings throughout were dirty and looked as though they had not been decorated for a very long time. There was peeling paintwork everywhere and a strong, musty smell. As we walked through the house, the floors were sticky underfoot, from a lack of proper cleaning over an extended period and the carpets were filthy. In the kitchen, the fridge was dirty, and there was grime and dirt on all the cupboard doors. All the radiators throughout were full of dust and dirt. When we lifted the sofas to retrieve my daughter’s toys, we found old rubbish, old sweets, large amounts of dust, dirt, and hair. It was absolutely disgusting and clearly had not been cleaned for a very long time. I walked barefoot on the first day and the dirt on my feet was so bad I struggled to clean it off afterwards. The stair carpet was black with dirt and looked as though it had never been cleaned. The cottage is listed as recently refurbished - maybe 20 years ago.Exposed stonework around the broken extractor and a broken toilet seat in the main bathroom with mould and mildew in both bathrooms. Under the beds was a thick build-up of dirt and hair, clearly accumulated over many months if not years. The yard was filthy, bird waste everywhere that my husband has to clean.I would not recommend it’s filthy.
