Could swing something between a sheep and a cow (~2.0 HC).
Overlooking a street.
- Noise
“General background noise, with Mill Road running nearby but don't notice it. As it's high up it's quieter than the ground floor rooms.” (Jan 2007)
“Not that noisy at all really. The rain drums on the skylights which some people might find annoying. You get the occasional siren from the fire station across the road.” (Jan 2006)
“Never particularly noisy, sound doesn't travel much between rooms and the street is quite a long way down so doesn't affect me that much.” (Feb 2005)
“Don't hear much noise, probably because being on top floor.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Massive gyp room, 4 electric hobs, fridges, loads of cupboard space. There's a similar gyp room on every floor, so full marks.” (Jan 2007)
“Absolutely massive. Bigger than any bedroom in the house. You could cartwheel across it if you want, we have even played cricket. Four people share this beauty, it's six steps from my room (no stairs). No oven obviously (come on, it's Caius!) but the hob has four rings and they actually work - not like the crappy plug-in ones in HC. Loads of cupboards to store stuff in. Two fridges. No table unfortunately - the one thing lacking.” (Jan 2006)
“Very very very nice! Its massive and shared between 4 of us on teh top floor of the house (5/6). There are two fridges, an electric hob and lots of cupboards . Its nicely decorated but doesn't have a table or chairs or an oven.” (Feb 2005)
“Huge kitchen on top floor between 4 of us, 2 fridges in it, 1 cooker, no oven unfortunately. very near to rooms.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Shower and toilet just 5 metres from room. As house recently done up, the shower is nice and new. Share the bathroom with one other person. Again a shower and toilet on every floor.” (Jan 2007)
“You need to go down a few steps to get the shower. I think about 3 people share this one, there's also a bath in house 5 really near the room. House 5+6 have loads of bathrooms - you never have to queue.” (Jan 2006)
“Again, nice and clean, far better than anything in harvey court. There are 2 bathrooms in house 6 between 5 people (both with showers) and a further 3 in house 5 (one of which has a bath). The closest one to my room is down a single flight of stairs.” (Feb 2005)
“2 bathrooms between 5 of us,( both with showers, although can use bath next door in number 5).” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Normal stuff, desk, bed, 2 comfy chairs and a swivel chair for the desk. Coffee table, bedside table, shelves, drawers, and a wardrobe. If you put cloths in the wardrobe, it's not big enough for the door to actually close, and a bit more space for clothes storage would be nice.” (Jan 2007)
“Fairly standard really: large desk, coffee table, pretty small wardrobe, chest of drawers, bookshelves, 2 comfy chair, one swingy chair. The storage isn't any worse than anywhere else.” (Jan 2006)
“Desk fairly average. Wardrobe is a bit small. I've also got a chest of drawers, a coffee table type thing, 2 comfy(ish) chairs adn a bedside table.” (Feb 2005)
“Large desk, 3 chairs, wardrobe abit small, small coffee tabe, lack of big cupboards for storage space.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Massive, twice as large as Harvey Court rooms. High ceiling and two skylights make it very open.” (Jan 2007)
“I like the skylights and mantlepiece, also the fact that it's huge (in comparison to harvey court)” (Jan 2006)
“Size and light are good- there's a nice fireplace feature, adn the room has been recently painted.” (Feb 2005)
“Cosy and warm, spacious also.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Only one main light so you need a desk light for working in winter. It's about 15 mins walk from college so a bike is really a must.” (Jan 2007)
“Being on the top floor so you have to climb two flights of stairs. But you get a better view and skylights (!!).” (Jan 2006)
“Very cold at the moment. The radiator works but doesn't seem to transmit its heat to the room.” (Feb 2005)
“Lack of cupboard to store, i seem to lack the cupboard everyone else has!” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Great room, lovely bedder. Recently redecorated so everything is in good condition. No problems about heating in winter. Skylights make a big difference. I would happily live here next year.” (Jan 2007)
“The bedder is lovely and very helpful. There are loads of plug sockets!” (Jan 2006)
“Our bedder is also our housekeeper. She lives in the basement of 6 but rarely bothers us. She keeps the kitchens and bathrooms very clean and is always happy to help you.” (Feb 2005)
“Bright, 2 windows and 2 skylights, bedder ok, doesn't really disturb.” (Jan 2003)
