Overlooking a street.
- Noise
“There's occasionally a bit of noise from the street - bin lorries, people coming back at night etc but it's barely noticeable when the windows are shut.” (Jan 2008)
“i think there is hardly any noise, although i know some people on morty road would disagree. maybe being down the end, away from mill road makes house 8 a bit quieter.” (Feb 2007)
“Not noisy at all apart from sometimes in the morning from the dustbin men. Its next to the kitchen, but you don't get much noise from there because the walls are quite thick.” (Jan 2006)
“There is no major problems with noise. It's not perfectly silent as the room looks over the street.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Right next door to my room, fairly big, about 6 people share it.” (Jan 2008)
“6 of us share it, but its a very good size, and the one in the basement is even bigger with a table and chairs.” (Feb 2007)
“The kitchen is AMAZING. It massive and everything's really new. It's right next door. Shared between about 6 people I think, but its more than big enough. There are two fridges and four hobs (no oven)” (Jan 2006)
“One of the two really big and nearly identical kitchens is nextdoor to the room. There are four hobs, two fridges, lots of counter space, and lots of cupboards. A kettle and toaster are provided. A microwave is not provided and may not be allowed. We share both kitchens with house number 7 (the other kitchen is in the basement)” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Just down the stairs, has a shower but no bath although some of the bathrooms in the house do. Shared between 4.” (Jan 2008)
“shower down one flight of stairs, which 1 or two other people use. bathroom in house 7” (Feb 2007)
“Bathroom is one flight of stairs down from the room. Has a shower, or you can go into the next house (through the kitchen) for a bath. It's shared between 2.” (Jan 2006)
“Good. And the person to bathroom ratio is 2:1. The closest bathroom with a shower is half of a flight down the stairs. The closest shower with a bath is in house number 7, half of a flight down from the rooms level.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Bed, medium sized desk, desk lamp, bookcase, wardrobe, two chairs, coffee table, chest of drawers and bedside table. All fairly new and doesn't make the room feel too full even though there's a lot.” (Jan 2008)
“same as above” (Feb 2007)
“Reasonably sized desk. Two "comfy" chairs. Shelves. Small chest of drawers. Small wardrobe. Coffee table. Bedside table. Not quite enough storage space, but its not too bad.” (Jan 2006)
“OK desk with cool swivel chair. Chest of drawers with 4 drawers. Cupboard with a few shelves & space for hanging clothes, a bed, bedside table, coffee table and two more chairs.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“It's really big and being so close to the gyp room and the bathroom is good.” (Jan 2008)
“7 and 8 morty road are joined on the groud and top floor so are brilliant if there are quite a lot of you that want to live together. loads of sockets.” (Feb 2007)
“The roof slopes....its been recently decorated and all the furniture's quite new...its only 11 steps from my desk to the fridge in the kitchen...” (Jan 2006)
“reasonable amount of space. Number 7 and 8 were refurbished in 2001.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“It can be a bit dull in the late afternoon because the windows are quite small and it gets very cold at times because the heat isn't always on. The wardrobe is a bit small for me but I do have a LOT of clothes!” (Jan 2008)
“Its a bit cold sometimes” (Jan 2006)
“The intrusive and irrational housekeeper and her partner who live in house number 5. Overnight (anytime past 12pm) guests must be signed for in advance. Parties are not allowed. Rules are, in general, followed strictly.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“I really love this room and the house is great too - it's also connected to House 7 on this floor and the ground floor.. You get used to being out of town quickly (although a bike is pretty essential if you're an arts student) and the whole street is full of your year so there's a great atmosphere.” (Jan 2008)
“not that much sunlight.” (Feb 2007)
“Housekeeper is lovely - really friendly. There's bike storage round the back of the house. We have a garden. Windows open really wide so you can talk to people on the street through them. Really nice room and great house.” (Jan 2006)
“Because the windows are small there is not much natural light. This room would be a 8 if it weren't for the housekeeper.” (Jan 2003)
