Also a couple of things that proved a problem. The oven has no labels on the controls so it is almost impossible to use. Also there is a definite issue in the bathroom as after one day of use there was a smell of damp in there. This is highlighted by the damp area on the ceiling near the window. Finally as we were around during the day, we were asked to open the gates by delivery drivers who had followed their sat nav.
