Chervil Cottage. Q3 TOM:
Sorry? What was that again?
SHIRLEY:
Chervil. C-H-E-R-V for Victor I-L.
TOM:
Oh, that’s a herb, isn’t it?
SHIRLEY:
That’s right. It grows fairly wild around here. You could have that for the week you want for
£480.
TOM:
OK. So could you tell me something about it, please?
SHIRLEY:
Of course.
The building was built as a garage Q4 . It’s a little smaller than Granary Cottage.
TOM:

TOM:

be finished by May.
TOM: OK.
SHIRLEY:
The front door opens onto the old farmyard, and
parking isn’t a problem – there’s plenty of room at the front for that Q6 . There are some trees and potted plants there.

SHIRLEY:
In the kitchen area there’s a fridge-freezer and we’ve just put in an electric cooker.
TOM:
Is there a washing machine?
SHIRLEY:
Yes. There’s also a TV in the living room, which plays DVDs too. The bathroom is too small
for a bath, so there’s a shower instead. I think a lot of people prefer that nowadays, anyway.
TOM:
It’s more environmentally friendly, isn’t it? Unless you spend half the day in it!
SHIRLEY:
Exactly.
TOM:
What about heating? It sometimes gets quite cool at that time of year.
SHIRLEY:
There’s central heating, and if you want to light a fire,
