Robert: Mr Howard?

Agent: Yes, good afternoon. Mr Johnson, is it?

R: Yes, Robert Johnson. Nice to meet you. Sorry I'm a bit late but there is a lot of Saturday traffic.

A: That's OK...so; here is the building with the ground-floor flat you are interested in.

R: Looks nice from the outside.

A: Yes, it does. Now the front door is down these steps which also go down to the back garden.(front door opens)

A: Here we are in the hallway. Here on the right is a small toilet...and here on the left is the sitting room.

R: Oh great, an old fireplace. And large bay windows.

A: Yes, this room's got a lot of light, and of course, a good view of the front garden. And if we open these sliding doors (sliding door sound) we've got the kitchen. It's quite small but very modern. A gas cooker here, a microwave, lots of cupboards, and here next to the sink, a dishwasher.

R: How about a washing machine?

A: Oh yes, over there in the corner. OK....now let's go towards the back of the flat to the bedrooms.

R: OK.

A: Here, next to the toilet is the bathroom with a bath and gas-heated shower. Again it's very modern. Now, here straight ahead is the small bedroom, and here to the left is the master bedroom.

R: What size are they?

A: This one is 12 feet by 11 and the smaller bedroom is eight by seven-and-a-half.

R: Seems very nice. Is there central heating?

A: No, but every room's got new electric storage heaters which are very economical.

R: Sounds fine.

A: OK, shall we go out to the back garden?
