- Noise
“less noisy than others floors as no one lives above me. noisy when people back late and use the kitchen...” (Jan 2008)
“Never noisy as overlooking the owners' garden, away from the street and a pretty quiet area anyway.” (Feb 2007)
“Very quiet, and as it's at the top of the house there are only faint noises from down below. Kitchen next door can be quite noisy when the bedders are clearing up, but that's only really if you want a lie-in after 10am ish. Dog owned by the lady in the basement always barks at annoying times but you sort of adapt to it and learn to blank it.” (Jan 2006)
“Can sometimes hear the piana being played by a music student below me but thats actually a plus. usualyy during the day. no midnight recitals (as yet)” (Jan 2005)
“Pretty quiet - overlooking a back garden so no street noise. Can't say I've noticed any noisy times of day. Sound insulation isn't fantastic through the house, but it's not bad enough to ever be a problem.” (Jan 2004)
- Gyp Room
“quite big, 6 or so sharing.” (Jan 2008)
“Kitchen is practically next door. Pretty big with two fridges.” (Feb 2007)
“HUGE kitchen on my floor, the door of which is about two feet from mine, also one in the basement. About 7 people share it, but honestly, it's so spacious and there's loads of kitchen space, it's rarely a problem. Two fridges (no freezer, unfortunately), oodles of space for microwave(s), kettles, toasters, and a set of 4 electric hobs that are excellent.” (Jan 2006)
“just outside the door. about 7 sharing. very large and nice. has just been redone.” (Jan 2005)
“Large kitchen just outside my door, which adjoins and is shared with House 8. About 6-7 people sharing. Two fridges, ceramic electric hob, microwave and plenty of counter-top and cupboard space.” (Jan 2004)
- Bath Room
“there is a bathroom with a bath and toilet one flight of stairs down, 2 sharing and through the kitchen and a flight of stairs down is one with a shower. about four share this one.” (Jan 2008)
“Bath in one shower room down a few steps (literally about 5) and on the next floor down a shower. Share both between 5.” (Feb 2007)
“The one closest (down four steps, close enough to tumble into when wasted) is only a loo, basin and bath, shared between 2. There are two showers in the house shared between 6. Fantastic power showers, if a little small, but always kept immaculately clean by the bedders.” (Jan 2006)
“a couple of staircases to the shower, 4 people sharing. 1 staircase to bath. Both rooms have toilets” (Jan 2005)
“Bathroom w/ bath on floor below, and bathroom w/ shower the floor below that. 3 people sharing each bathroom.” (Jan 2004)
- Furniture
“Large desk, 2 comfy chairs, one desl chair, smallish wardrobe and chets of drawers” (Jan 2008)
“Desk, two chairs, chest of drawers, bookcase, wardrobe, coffee table” (Feb 2007)
“Small wardrobe, hanging area very sparse. Chest of drawers, handy but still inadequate. Small bedside cabinet. Bookshelf. Two nice and squishy armchairs. Relatively small desk, can just fit a desktop and a small square of working space. All the furniture in House 7 is BRAND NEW and a lovely pine colour. Main theme of walls is a pale yellow and the curtains are nice and blue (if you're wondering what colour beanbag to bring in).” (Jan 2006)
“coffee table, 2 comfy chairs, cupboard, draws, shelves, bedside table, average size desk but not so good for someone with a non-laptop computer if you still want to use the desk as a desk as well.” (Jan 2005)
“All furniture is new/ modern "Ikea" style pale pine effect. Bed, desk, bookshelves, chest of drawers, wardrobe, coffee table and a couple of easy chairs.” (Jan 2004)
- Best Feature
“the size and the view of the gnome-filled garden. It's also quite bright due to 2 lights and double window.” (Jan 2008)
“Nice view, close to the kitchen, big. Cheapest of the house's rooms for some reason?!” (Feb 2007)
“HUGE! Also, bright lighting, tranquility, distance to kitchen, cleanliness of carpet, loads of wall and floor space.” (Jan 2006)
“its huge, quite light and airy. Nice view” (Jan 2005)
“Decent size, recently decorated, fairly light and bright.” (Jan 2004)
- Worst Feature
“Lack of sink, otherwise nothing really.” (Jan 2008)
“Smaller windows than the other floors, top floor of the house - good for quiet and forming of little subgroups of people. (There's a big kitchen downstairs that we all use to socialise in).” (Feb 2007)
“sparse hanging space for clothes, bring your own foldaway wardrobe.” (Jan 2006)
“phone socket is in a stupid place relative to the desk. i know that sounds dumb but if i move the desk i cant see the view!!” (Jan 2005)
“No network point” (Jan 2004)
- General Comments
“can be cold sometimes as radiator under window and so heta escapes. However general lovely room and bedder pleasant and not too intrusive.” (Jan 2008)
“The house has been recently renovated and 7/8 are definitely the best houses in morty road. Big kitchen is great and all the rooms are networked. 7 and 8 are knocked through so its one big house too... The bedder will do your washing up if you stay on the right side of her! Brilliant house if there's a group of you and its really not that far out if you've got a bike.” (Feb 2007)
“Quite dark in the afternoons, although I get all the sun in the morning. Get on well with your bedders and they'll do all your washing up for you, fantastic! Now that Morty Rd has internet, these few rooms are going to be very popular, so get in there quick! Personally, I think my room's the nicest out of the whole house.” (Jan 2006)
“Bedder is very nice” (Jan 2005)
“The whole house (along with House 8 and possibly 5&6) was completely renovated a couple of years ago, so the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms are all in very good condition and well decorated (neutral, light colours). It's not that far out either, just the other side of Parkers Piece next to the swimming pool.” (Jan 2004)
