Describe a house/ apartment that someone you know lives in – IELTS Cue Card

Sample Answer 1

House is where everyone feels safe, where everyone finds peace and tranquility. There is so much variation in houses. Some are tiny, and others are huge and colossal. A good friend of mine recently bought a house in Mumbai and invited me to her housewarming celebration. It’s a lovely, spacious house with a ravishing look.

A friend of mine, Kanika, relocated to Mumbai to complete her education. She was then offered a job in Mumbai. She bought a house after living in a leased flat for three years. Her home is in Borivali, Mumbai, close to her relatives’ home, so that she may visit and spend time with them without hassle. The house is around 2700 square feet in size and has two bedrooms, one office room, a dining area, a living room, and a spacious kitchen. The house has a massive entry gate and a foyer large enough to contain the Serengeti Plant at the foot of a massive curving staircase, polished oak flooring, and a lovely railing that curves up into a soaring second-floor gallery.

The house also boasts exquisite high arched windows with velvet curtains enclosing the windows and a laced curtain on the inside. The balconies are enormous, and the flower plants are attractively adorned. Two rooms have adjoining baths, and the furnishings are quite elegant. The large furnishings made of both wood and steel and the current and fashionable style of most of the decorations give each guest who comes to this location a stunning impression. I am proud of her for building such a charming home in such a short amount of time.

My maternal grandmother is a bit luxurious in nature and loves to live in an attractive, spacious house. My grandmother owns a garment business in Punjab. As a result of their labor, they were able to construct their home. It is a two-storey structured building. There is a verandah in front of the home, and the garden in the backyard is large, with a designated sitting space and a variety of gorgeous flowers and fruit trees. Furthermore, there is a little swimming pool on the left side of the home, which has enhanced the property’s standard.

The inside of the house is beautifully decorated. The house has many rooms, including three large bedrooms with some other smaller rooms for various purposes. The living room is quite big. The majority of the furniture is constructed out of the best woods and boldly displays my grandparent’s choice. There is an extraordinarily huge mirror in the living room, which is incredible, and the ceiling is embellished with a chandelier. The master bedroom is tastefully furnished with high-end furnishings and facilities. The main bedroom has a king-size bed and other needed furnishings. The home’s most essential feature is that it is centrally air-conditioned, making life within the house pleasant. I have spent most of my summer vacations at my grandparent’s house. I played various games with my sister, and we also played in the swimming pool for hours and hours. I used to look forward to summer vacations so that I could go to my grandparent’s house.
