FOR SALE: one charming reading nook, compact but bursting with character. Features include a cushion shaped exactly like the last person who sat in it, a lamp set at the perfect angle and a side table permanently marked by rings of tea. Excellent acoustics for page turning. The previous owner left four blankets behind and will not discuss it.
The agent would like to mention that several similar properties are on the market. There is a window seat with a full view of the rain, ideal for buyers who read gloomy novels and sigh at the glass. There is a fortified blanket bunker with a fairy light ceiling and a strict snacks policy. There is a scholarly corner with a rolling ladder, a leather armchair and shelves sorted by subject. And for outdoor buyers, a rope hammock between two old trees, sold with a free breeze.
Viewings are by appointment only, and the appointment is this quiz. Tell us about your bookmark, your reading outfit, your favorite weather and how you react when someone interrupts chapter twelve. We'll match you with the nook you belong in. Please remove your shoes. The cushion has been through enough.
