The property is a comfortable five-bedroom house, located on a private court just off Upper Bristol Road. The best thing about this property are the neighborhood cats, Daisy and Wolfgang, who will sit outside the back and front door and meow for attention several times a day.
The bedrooms, despite being double, are small, and oftentimes felt claustrophobic when conducting online studies for an entire year. It was livable. One socket in the ground floor bedroom was faulty upon moving in and has not been fixed to date. It has made the fuses in the house trip several times. When told about it, the landlords took no responsibility and told us to sort it out ourselves. The walls of the property are thin, so be prepared to hear anything and everything, including the next-door neighbor's singing (which, in fairness, is pretty decent).
In terms of natural lighting, the house is usually quite dark during the day, save for the living room, which is the lightest overall.
The sociable areas, however, are spacious enough to fit everybody in, with two triple-seater sofas as well as an armchair and a large dining table. The garden is massive, with two washing lines, however, there is not a tumble dryer at the property for the winter, so it will take longer for clothes to air dry. The kitchen is provided with a large dishwasher and a small washing machine, an oven and extractor fan as well as a microwave. However, a kettle and toaster will need to be provided by the tenants as it is not by the landlords. There are two bathrooms, downstairs is just a W/C and the one upstairs has a bath-shower combo. The bathrooms are small, but it does the job. The only thing to be wary of with the bathrooms is that sinks are tiny, so water will inevitably spill. The boiler is brand new, see review regarding landlords for more information on this, and the house does heat quickly when the heating has been turned on.
There is no front garden, but the hedges opposite the property are tended to by the community gardener. In place of a front garden is a parking space. The back garden is tended to by a gardener employed by the landlords and will visit at least once a month in the summer, and only in the winter by request of the tenants. The back garden can be accessed through a side gate locked by a padlock, but please note that the code is shared between the landlords, tenants, and numerous contractors.
There is some damage to the property that was noted at the start of the tenancy inventory, notably the curtain holder in the living room is falling out of the wall. There is also a hole in the wall in the hallway upon entry due to building works completed in May 2021.
