My house
I live in quiet a big
detached house. Downstairs there are four rooms altogether. As you come in through
the front door, the first thing you see is a very big hall. At the end of the
hall is a staircase leading upstairs. The first room on the right is the
dining-room. Opposite this, on the left, is quite a large living-room. A door
from the living-room leads to a small study. Opposite the study, next to the
dining-room, is the kitchen. This is very big and very modern. It’s one of our
favourite rooms. Upstairs there are three bedrooms. As you walk along the
landing towards the front of the house, there are two bedrooms on your right
and one on your left. Bedroom 1 is very large and has a balcony which overlooks
the garden. We often have breakfast here in the summer. Bedroom 2 is in the
front of the house and the third bedroom, which we use as a spare room, is
opposite the bathroom. At the end of the landing, on the left, is a separate
toilet.
My
kitchen is light and airy with white walls and lots of
cupboards and shelves. There is a big fridge freezer in the corner covered in
post-it notes and fridge magnets, and there is a washing machine and a
dishwasher in the alcove at the back of the room. I have a lovely long work
surface made of marble with lots of useful gadgets on it: a toaster, a teapot,
a kettle, and a food processor. There is also a chopping board and a bread bin.
The cooker is brand new. It’s got a grill, and a big oven. On the other side of
the kitchen, beneath a window that overlooks the garden, the sink and draining
board are made of stainless steel. There is a washing up bowl in the sink of
course, and next to the sink there is a broom cupboard which is full of mops
and buckets and an ironing board. Finally, tucked away in the corner, is the
microwave, which, if I’m honest, is the thing that gets used most often in my
kitchen.
