Bungalows 4+1 with pool at $8,000

Tenant, Mission Impossible. Detached house 4+1, garden & pool for $8,000 rental in prime district.

Background

A British couple prefers a detached house 4 +1 at S$8,000. It must have a large garden, a decent-sized swimming pool, spacious internal areas for living and storage. The children will be studying in Tanglin School (in Clementi area) while the husband works in the city area. Therefore, North, West and East Singapore are not considered.

We just go house hunting when you call, provided we are tied up house-hunting with others.
