MY COTTAGE

My beautiful cottage is 300 years old. It is in the countryside near the village of Burston, where there is a post office, a restaurant and one shop.

The cottage has two double bedrooms, a big living room, a small dining room, a bathroom and a kitchen. Downstairs there is the kitchen, dining room, bathroom and living room.

The kitchen is very large. It has lots of appliances; it has a washing machine, a dishwasher, a fridge, a bread maker and a microwave. We also have a big garden with lots of flowers and trees.

I live in this cottage with my Mum, Dad, brother, dog and cat. My parents, brother and pets love living in the cottage. My dog because it has a big garden to play in and my cat because he loves catching and eating mice - and believe me there are hundreds!

I don't like where I live because there aren't a lot of things to do. There aren't any shops, pubs, cinemas or leisure centers. If I want any of these places I have to go to the city centre and the city centre is far!
