We (1) changed / moved into our new house yesterday.

It's really spacious (unlike my last room) and (4) open / airy with a skylight and windows that (5) oversee /overlook open fields. And I have my own (6) drive / staircase to get up there - everyone else is on the (7) storey / floor below! There's plenty of room for my new, big (8) twin / double bed and oak (9) wardrobes / hangings for my clothes. On the floor, I've got two lovely red and green (10) blinds / rugs covering the original (11) floorboards / bricks.The house is old and everything is a bit old-(12) styled /fashioned. The kitchen has an ancient (13) cooker / cook that hasn't seen a saucepan in years and I think the (14) boxes/cupboards to keep all the plates and things are about a hundred years old.The (15) roof / ceiling is very low and dad keeps hitting his head when he goes through the doors. I have to say that downstairs the (16) poster /wallpaper is a bit dingy, but we can take it off and redecorate, which will be fun. It's a bit different from being in the (17) blocks / suburbs further from the town centre, in a stylish, modern house with all mod cons. I think it will get a bit cold in winter. There are no radiators –just (18) fireplaces/mantelpieces in every room. But I love it! The (19) community/neighbours are cool, too. They came round last night with a welcome cake for us all. I'm really glad we've moved here. Mum and dad are (20) hiring / renting the house for three months to see if we like being (21) distant/away from the town. As far as I'm concerned, we're here to stay and I don't care if there's no public transport - I'll learn to ride a horse!
