Noise

“Not noisy at all as it's set back from street.” (Jan 2008)

“Not very noisy at all. There is a nursery at Springfield but you can't hear anything from this room. There is a minimal amount of noise from the road outside (Sidgwick Ave).” (Jan 2007)

Gyp Room

“small gyp room. two fridges. good facilities. can be cramped for 5 people.” (Jan 2008)

“Newly refurbished, decent size, shared between five but two fridges and plenty of cupboard space so perfectly manageable, few steps away from bedroom. No hobs though if you're into cooking, just the new combi ovens college seems to love so much.” (Jan 2007)

Bath Room

“two bathrooms upstairs, one with a bath. separate 'shower room'.” (Jan 2008)

“Loo right opposite room. Also shower room with sink and a bathroom with loo and sink just down hall so plenty of facilities. Five people sharing.” (Jan 2007)

Furniture

“business desk, card-table on wheels which is excellent for eating on/imagining playing cards on. two weird coffee tables, one bedside table, large bookcase with unnecessary glass display thing (bookshelves could be better. two fairly good wardrobes.” (Jan 2008)

“Good size desk, Dining table, two coffee tables, two wardrobes, one comfy chair and one not-so-comfy chair, bed of course, book shelf/display cabinet, bedside table.” (Jan 2007)

Best Feature

“its size - it is the largest room (I'm told) in the house. 12 springfield has two rooms so in total is larger.” (Jan 2008)

“It is always warm, even in the middle of winter when the heating hasn't been on, so no need to worry about being a freezing student. Will be interesting to see what it is like when the summer comes though..... Two large south-facing windows, so room always bright. Fantastic size. Basically just an awesome room.” (Jan 2007)

Worst Feature

“it overlooks a driveway and a set of garbage bins; the noise at 5pm when parents pick up their children from daycare. the red carpet.” (Jan 2008)

“No mirror comes with the room (for the vain among us) and floorboards a little creaky, but to be honest this room is pretty great!” (Jan 2007)

General Comments

“good sunlight; the artificial lighting could do with improvement; poor view. fantastic size. Aside from the room itself, the house is excellent if you're living with other friends.” (Jan 2008)

“Bedder nice, always cleans kitchen etc well and offers to hoover room on regular basis. Carpet dirty red colour (the sort of carpet that hides stains well for anyone intent on much wine-drinking). Room bright, fireplace quite a nice feature, plenty of storage space, great central heating, not enough sockets for size of room (recommend bringing extensions). Lovely house to live in....really nice garden.” (Jan 2007)
