porch – a covered shelter protecting the front entrance of a building
- I’m so grateful for the
porch on a wet day when I have to stop and wipe the dog’s feet
before going indoors.
conservatory – a room with a glass roof and walls, attached to a house at one side
- It was Klaus and Meena’s dream to build a
conservatory on the side of their house as
somewhere to relax in the sun.
attic / loft – space in the roof used for storage and often converted into accommodation
- Margit regretted putting so much junk up in the
attic now that she had to clear it out ready
for the builders to start work on the loft conversion.
pantry / larder – small, cold room used for storing food
- We had a proper
larder when I was young but nowadays, most people keep food in the
fridge, freezer or a cupboard.
balcony – a platform enclosed by a wall or bars on the outside of a building, with access
from an upper-floor window or door
- My dream home would have a
balcony overlooking the sea.
Set 5: Owning and renting
to rent – to pay money to the owner of a property to be allowed to live there
- One day I hope to own my own home but for now, I can only afford
to rent.
to rent out / let out – to allow someone to live in your property for a fee
- I inherited my mum’s bungalow when she died and I’ve decided to
rent it
out.
rented accommodation – a property for which a person pays a fixed amount to live in it to
the person who owns it
- Being a university town, Exeter has lots of
rented accommodation for the students.
