What I Rent: I've refurbished my £1,400 per month Essex rental into a dream house

We’re in Essex this week Welcome back to What I Rent – Metro’s tenant diary series that explores what renting is like in the UK and further afield. Last week, we explored Angela Spring’s studio apartment in Croydon, South London. Joining a like-minded community of people, her living space comes complete with all the mod-cons, from a communal reading area to a rooftop garden. This week, we’re in Essex, visiting Nicki Rodriguez – also known as the Essex House Dolly.

Do you feel like you have enough space? As it’s only my son and I now, the house suits us perfectly. I also love that I downsized when I moved here, so my home is clutter free! I lived in a three-storey, three-bedroom house before so I had to start from scratch moving here as none of my furniture fitted.
