Jan 2009 - the Cottage is soon to be available for rent -
27th March '09
Friends, our fantastic tenants, having been with us for
three years, are heading home and therefore the cottage
is soon to be available for rent again. As first time
landlords we offer a totally
unparalleled service to whomsoever is fortunate to rent
our beautiful new house. Why are we offering such a
service? Well, we have rented ourselves and know only
too well what ‘offerings’ there are around and how
tenants can be exploited so we wanted to turn this on
its head and make sure that the tenants can get the
best value for money rental with an unparalleled level
of service.
So,
what is this ‘service’ that we are offering?
 |
Wireless Broadband Internet Access |
|
Satellite Television - receiver required |
|
Professionally Maintained Garden |
|
Professional House Cleaning |
|
Organic Vegetable delivery |
How
much does this all cost? Well, it depends on the time of
year for some services, whether you want the full range
of services and the cost of third party providers as we
will be employing professionals to undertake the
services to ensure that the highest quality is
achieved.
See
the estimated prices below for the various services
offered and the seasonal variation in costs:
|
Wireless Broadband Access = £17.50 per month
(optional) |
|
FreeSat Sky – Configuration free, additional
services (Sky Movies etc. as payable to Sky) |
|
Monthly
Garden maintenance service (included) |
|
Cleaning service = One visit per week at £30 each
visit (optional) |
|
Organic Vegetable Service = We can provide a
selection of seasonal Organic vegetables direct from
Vermont Farm delivered each weekend for £20 a week
(optional) |
But
what about the property itself? I hear you call…
Well
by all means peruse the pages on this site, but in
essence the house is a totally new house built within
the shell of an 1850’s building. The property is fully
fitted throughout. The kitchen for instance has Neff
integrated appliances (dishwasher, washing machine,
double fan oven, halogen hob, 60/40 Fridge Freezer) so
you don’t need to bring anything of your own –
everything is brand new and of the best quality. The
house has two bedrooms, both of which are en-suite with
everything provided by Pastella Ceramics. To the outside
you have a large raised decked area for entertaining and
below a lawned area for relaxing plus parking for three
cars.
So
where is this heavenly place? Rue a la Dame, St. Saviour.
Ideally suited for schools and getting to town either by car or on
foot (10/20 mins respectively), yet surrounded by fields
and ideal for weekend country walks in tranquility.
The
cost? Well, if you are interested so far, please call
07797 736076 or 01534 874074 to arrange a viewing. We will not be the
most expensive by any means but we hope to provide the
best property to the right tenants and we look forward
to meeting you soon!
Kind
regards,
Chris and Amelia |

January 2009
So 2008 has come to
a close and we start the New Year with a very frost laden garden (left).
We have all had a
great Christmas and have used the break to clear out the garage (at long
last - two skips required) and it is still full of the bare essentials
(tools / tiles and useful materials).
During the process I
removed the timber fencing to the rear which has exposed a further 4ft
cavern that was hewn from the bed rock a fair few years ago - however
massively exposing the fact that the garage is made of only two physical
walls, nothing to join them together!
As you can see the
garden is looking fairly different the the original image (shown below)
- see Springbank Garden Plans - I have also
updated a stack of family photos from the last two years so that friends
and family can see how the nippers are shaping up.
Anyway - keep
checking us out as I can now access the site again to keep it up to
date - hoorah!
Coming soon - the
cottage will be up for rent again from the end of March - if you know any 'J' cats
that need a 2 bed cottage with garden and parking, don't hesitate to
send them our way!
If you want to take a look at where the
house & cottage have come
from, by all means peruse
The Gallery - Cottage
Thank you for
visiting SpringbankHouse - We hope that you find
the site entertaining and if you have any comments, hopefully
productive, or any questions regarding the contacts that we have made to
date for sympathetic suppliers of heritage materials, please do not
hesitate to contact me by e-mail - chris@springbankhouse.org
