The house with two front doors

Tweet

I am running low on plant pots, so I asked on Freegle if anyone happened to have any spare plastic plant pots they didn’t want. A lady not too far away offered some, so I arranged to call in today on my way to the shops. I found the right house, a semi-detached place on the outskirts of town. I rang the bell and when the lady opened the door I had to take a step back as it opened outwards. I told her I was quite interested in this, as we need a new front door and have been considering an outward-opening one as the space just inside our door is narrow and people can get wedged in the doorway! She said ‘Oh yes this one is OK, but our other front door is nicer, I’ll show you in a minute’. She took me through the house to the back where she had a big pile of plant pots for me to help myself, then round the other side of the house to the front and the second front door, which was indeed a nice one. The thing is, this second door should have been a different house; they must have bought the adjoining house as well!
