Cam laughs and leads us back to the front of the house and up the stairs. “There are five bedrooms, three with en-suite and a family bathroom.”
We look at all the bedrooms. They are all large and airy and just perfect.
“I like this room,” Enoch says, looking out of the window of one of the back bedrooms.
“Good. ‘Cause I like the other one.” Xander says, dragging Enoch off to have another look at the room he liked.
“I like the master room the best,” Sly tells me.
I grin. “Me too,”
We walk back downstairs, and Cam leads us out into the back garden. I shake my head. This garden is massive. It has a large veg patch on one side and a patio and lawns on the other. There is a summer house off to one side and a large building at the bottom.
“There are about one and a half acres of land back here,” Cam tells us.
“What’s that building?” Enoch asks, pointing.
“Come and check it out. The last owner owned a cake business,” he says, leading us down the path to the stone building. He unlocks the door, and we go inside.
“Oh,” I breathe out, looking around. “This is perfect,” and it is, all shiny steel surfaces, some marble worktops, cookers, fridges. You name it, this space has it.
“Do you bake?” Cam asks me.
“No, I’m a chocolatier,” I tell him.
“Nice. Do you have a shop?”
I shake my head. “No, it’s all online.”
“Everything in here has recently been checked and tested and is all safe. There is a gate outside on the left. Customers used to collect their cakes from a room over there,” he says, pointing.
I walk over and have a look. I was expecting a small room, but this has tables and shelves, perfect for keeping boxes and the like and a stable door. This is even more perfect.
I walk back and join Cam and Sly.
“The boys have gone back outside,” Sly tells me, before looking at Cam. “Can we get the house particulars and the price?”
“You can. I actually have them on my phone. If you give me your email address, I can send them to you now,” Cam says, pulling his phone out.
“Can you send it to ‘EbbyandSly’ ...” Sly rattles off our email address.
“There, sent. Seen enough in here?”
“I think so,” I look at Sly.
He nods. “Yep, I think we might need to hunt for the boys, though.”
I laugh. “Most probably.”
We leave the workshop, and Cam locks up behind us.
“Thank you for showing us around. I know that wasn’t on your calendar for today,” Sly says to him.
Cam shrugs. “I take days as they come, but I do have to run now, otherwise I’ll be late.”
“You go. We can find the boys and use the garden gate to leave,” I tell him.
“Thanks. You’ll notice that when you leave the garden, you have a double garage as well. If you want to come and look at the place again, I can show it to you. Good luck finding your sons.”
