Only issue is that we would have preferred thicker curtains on the main window because the current ones are just net curtains and you can be seen in the dark when lights are on. (I went outside and looked in) Not good when going for a shower!

Only slight disadvantage was that the sun went behind quarry at 5.15pm so couldnât sit out into the evening. Mustnât let this overshadow the positives though. Communication with owner also excellent.
