“Not all council houses are scruffy”, Cole said, before stated that she had done all of the DIY on the property herself.

In the hallway, the floor is covered with modern looking wood panelling, and the walls are adorned with stylish prints and a large circular mirror.
In the living room, a large corner sofa sits at the back of the room and an enormous TV hangs from the wall.
Behind the TV, the walls are decorated with fashionable wood panels and a giant three legged lamp rests in the corner of the room .
Dotted around the house are adorable potted plants and lots of photo frames, giving the place a very cosy and homely feel.

Council tenants are allowed to make alterations and renovations to their homes.
However, they must make sure that any work conforms to building regulations and planning permission.
Council houses are provided by local authorities to those in need.
