Have you recently found yourself working from home? You certainly aren’t alone. In recent weeks, following government advice, ASPC staff like so many employees across the country have moved operations into living rooms, dining rooms, studies and even the odd hallway. Many people find that the flexibility of home working carries a variety of benefits, with some citing feeling less stressed, finding it convenient for their childcare arrangements, and even enjoying being able to spend more time with their dog. However, finding the optimum space to work in isn’t always easy. Here we look at five properties on our site which would be great for working from home:
