List of rooms

Being in the basement means light is very limited. Being next to the kitchen and a bathroom means it can be a bit noisy at times, but you do have the floor for yourself. Very limited storage.

It's a good size and cosy but right on Emmanuel Rd, which is a bus route, although they stop overnight so during the night they don't disturb, although I wouldn't want to work in my room during the day. It is also above the kitchen so sometimes you can smell the food, and a little dark, but with the right lighting it is very confortable and convenient for college.

Extremely limited storage space. No chest of drawers, and "wardrobe" is tiny.

Small, but quiet room at garden side of the house. Good storage space, okay distance from bathroom and kitchen.

Generally a spacious and bright room. Opens onto nice view, but must deal with large buses every 10-20 seconds, 0800-2300. If not sensitive to noise, a very good room.

House has a lovely kitchen downstairs, two showers for seven people, no washing machine but College is very close. Room has a fridge, two small-ish closets, shelves and a dresser. The tree outside the window is lovely in the fall (and probably will be later in the spring -- haven't seen it yet!)

This is a large, nicely decorated room overlooking Christ's pieces with some separation between a sitting area and a bedroom. The house is near college, the city centre and Grafton centre. Disadvs of the room are noise from buses and distance from kitchen.

Keep an eye on the condition of the drain outside the door to avoid flooding!

Good room.

Very good room, biggest in the house. It goes to the road, and there are exceptionately many bin lorries and other lorries that can be noisy in the morning, but otherwise fairly quiet. Wardrobe is a bit too small for girls, but the rest of the furnature is very good. Very close to one of the bathrooms, so lack of sink is no issue. The house has two bathrooms each with showers, one also with a toilett, and two separate toiletts. It has two kitchens, one quite small and thin one on the top (second) floor with hobs and oven, and one big one with a nice table in the basement, but it doesn't have hobs, just a combi-oven and a microwave. There is also a small garden with grass and place to put bikes, and the back door opens directly onto the Free Press.

Cosy room. Paint needs some work.

Quaintly shaped room with an arch diving the room into two sections. Conveniently located within the house, but corridor outside can be distracting.

Largest room in the house, along with number 2. Lovely view of the back garden with french windows opening at the side of the house. Nice ceiling plasterwork and mantlepiece.

One of the smallest rooms in the house but lots of cupboard space and it looks out over the large garden. High ceilings and two windows but not a bay unlike lots of the rooms in this house. It's the only room the other side of the main kitchen and you have to walk back through the kitchen to get to the bathroom, though this is less of a nuisance as there is a sink. Close to the laundry though and it even has it's own front door!

Bay windows to the east overlook the large garden. Second set of windows faces south. Usual college furniture; bed, desk+chair, table and 2 lounge chairs, wardrobe, set of drawers, and 4 wall mounted shelves. Room is well heated with two half-length radiators. Room is on corridor with kitchen and shower room.

Quite big for a grade 3, tucked away at the top of the house. Not facing towards the road so less noise, nice view of the garden. Only 1 window so not much light, but this has never been a problem. Bathroom/kitchen both on floor below, although there is a toilet on this floor (the sink is really tiny though, so most of the water ends up all over the floor!)

great room, probably one of the nicest you'd get in college, large, huge windows, quiet, spacious, well-decorated, adequate storage space. only negative points are high grade (expensive) and can get quite cold because it doesn't get the afternoon sun and no sink.

As with most rooms in 287 Hills Road, this is a very nice room. It is very spacious. Shares a bathroom / shower with 3 other rooms - there are numerous bathrooms / showers in 287 Hills Road, so there will never be any problems waiting to use these. There is a kitchen on the floor above. Ambulances driving past can be slightly annoying (the room overlooks Hills Road), but one quickly learns to ignore them.

Nice room, close to kitchen and bathroom.

A small room, but very quiet. 287 was recently done up so the carpet, curtains etc. are all quite new and clean. Very close to bathroom/kitchen.

Both windows face onto main road. Opposite kitchen, very close to bathroom and laundry.

Great room. Very good storage and close to kitchen & showers.

Long-ish room facing the back garden. Kitchen is directly below the room - vents, parties and even the microwave can be heard. Close to bathroom.

Lovely room - has a large cupboard under the sloping ceiling which is v useful. Bring an extra lamp though - there is only one small window.

This room is lovely - it has sloping ceilings that I think are cosy but some people wouldn't like so much. The bathroom is shared by 3, and the kitchen is downstairs. The room can be a bit noisy with traffic, but is only grade 3 so is better value than others in the house.

Fantastic room! Very large, big bay windows, new furniture.

Ground floor room, smallish, pretty standard square. Nice and warm, gets morning sun. Good kitchen, no washing machine etc though.

Newly refurbished; overlooks the street; house has a great kitchen, but no washing machine.

Very comfortable and large room with ample desk space and a bay window. Noise from the street can sometimes be quite loud.

Very nice room. With a lot of space. The house has 2 WC and 2 showers that are really nice. The kitchen is really great. The problem of the house is that it has no washing machine, no internet conection and no enough fridge space.

Very small - much smaller than any undergrad room I've seen. But it has nice new furniture and a big wardrobe.

small, but a nice house!

some might find the "noise" issue is "annoying" rather than "some", but that's your preference. All in all it's very close to college, but you're only living with three other people.

Nice room:lotsa space. Great house with only 4 people in all. The only problem is that the room is on the ground floor looking out onto Parker street. The noise of the buses thundering by can get on your nerves sometime. Kitchen is a bit cramped but its next door to the college.

Good size room with sink and shelves, large street-facing bay window. Nice house, big garden, 2 kitchens. Have to use washing machines/dryers at 67 Glisson Road though

Room is a good size, with good shelving space but limited wardrobe space. During the day, you can here English lessons from the house next door, and there is sometimes a little noise out the back. There is no traffic noise. There are 2 kitchens in the house, but no real communal area and only 1 shower between 7. As yet there is no washing machine (one is promised). Overall a good room and handy for Mill Road shops, station and swimming pool.

Very large room with high ceilings and a big desk situated in the middle of the house, overlooking the road. Big bright windows, but this means it can be a bit noisy as Tenison Rd is main route for taxis to drive to the station, but I got used to it quite quickly. Nice and warm in winter, plenty of breeze in summer. One gripe with the house is very old carpets, and kitchen and bathroom in need of updating. Only one shower for whole house, but we don't seem to have problems with sharing it. Overall a good room.

(Good) Decent sized room. Warm in winter. Nice big room, good view of garden, no fridge but close to kitchen, quiet but close to Mill Rd (Bad) The room has two fire doors that must be kept clear. Some noise in daytime from language school. (House) Room 6 shares a small kitchen with room 7, with no cooker, just a hob. No freezer or washing machine in house. 1 shower between 7 people.

In terms of location, the house is brilliant, Mill road is aweesome & you're not too far away to stagger home from college after dinners. This room is very spacious & was newly redecorated last year (2009)-though for some reason college decided to put the old curtains back up which are fairly scabby. Tenison road can be a bit noisy (its a rat-run between Mill road & the station). The house is a bit dilapidated, but has a lot of potential. The nearest laundry facilities are at Glisson Road which is a pain. Best news, the upstairs kitchen now has a freezer!

Grade 5. Large with high ceiling. A little noise from road/pavement outside (large window overlooking street), but room is generally peaceful. Situated next to front door and opposite room 2.

Palace-sized, spacious, large window facing the road. Shared bathroom with 2 others, easy access to the well-equipped downstairs kitchen, laundry and back garden.

Overlooks garden so it's quiet and pretty, a bit drafty, share a kitchen and bathroom with rooms 1 & 2, laundry in house, very nice

Awesome room--the lighting's great in the afternoons

Absolutely huge room! Really light and airy with large bay window and high ceiling. (Room 7 is on the first floor at the front of the property). Next door to shower room and kitchen (on two different sides), which is handy, but does mean you sometimes get a small amount of noise. Lots of furniture in the room (all the basics plus coffee table and chairs etc). Great house to live in. Laundry room on-site and massive garden, which is perfect if we ever get nice weather!

I love this room. although not much view to be seen ourside the window it gets reasonable light in daytime. Situated on top floor and quiet area so its perfect for studying. Quite spacious for the price of grade 2. Reasonable storage space. Right next to a clean washroom, sharing a kitchen and bathroom with people downstairs. Garden is lovely and useful to hold any party. I stayed there for 2 years.

Large, carpeted room, full of furniture (some fairly rickety); gets good light in the mornings and is fairly quiet. Toilet w/ bath across the hall; shower and kitchen downstairs. Windows overlook the road.

Really nice big room with window overlooking rooftops. Gets nice light.

A nice house in a quiet location. The room is much quieter the previous college room I've stayed in. Despite looking out onto the road there is little traffic that goes by so it's quite calm in that respect. The kitchen is a good size - plenty of shelf space for everyone - and has the added bonus of having a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a small common room upstairs. The room is a good size and has a cozy feel.

I agree with the previous occupant that said that the house does not have proper communal space. This room is always quite cold, perhaps because it faces the back. People who briefly stayed in Room 2, which also faces the back, said that it was cold as well. Also, there is only one shower in the house, so if you have someone who spends the night regularly, it would inconvenience the other roommates. This is not a good house for a noisy person or someone who would want to throw lots of parties as it would also inconvenience the other roommates. The walls are paper thin, so you can hear when someone is moving around the house, when music is being played and you can even sometimes hear muffled conversations from the house next door. This is something to think about if you work from home and need a quiet environment. Also, the dryer is in the kitchen, so sometimes one's laundry can wind up smelling like food, or, if there is a smoker in the house, like cigarette smoke. This house would also not be good for a smoker, as the courtyard is small and right next to the kitchen and secondhand cigarette smoke easily seeps into the kitchen, leaving a smell that hangs around for hours or for even days.

This is a nice room in a newly refurbished, clean house. There is a well-equipped kitchen with plenty of cupboard space but no table or chairs. This gives the house a rather antisocial touch even if there is a common room with four arm chairs and, again, no table on the first floor. Nice bathrooms and washing machine / dryer.

This is a fairly small room facing onto Parker Street - I do not think it should be graded more than a 2 or 3. This means a constant flow of buses and taxis from early morning onwards (but the double glazing is quite effective). The house has been recently redecorated however, has a good sized kitchen and bathroom and is very close to college. House has very thin walls!

This is a lovely big room and is very convenient for accessing college and town. The only problem is that the house is really poorly sound-proofed, so you can hear everything that goes on in the bedroom, kitchen and toilet above this room.

Shared toilet downstairs. A spacious room right next to bus station, some may find the noise from idling buses annoying, but it isn't as noisy as traffic zooming past. Sloping ceilings on almost all sides of the room.

Cutter Ferry is generally great. The whole place is brand spanking new. Rooms 1, 2 and 3 are on the ground floor. They share a shower and very small kitchen which contains a fridge. Room 1 is front facing. Only one minor problem. College have recently fixed a rather bright light to the cycle shed which shines directly into the room all night! The house has a great big kitchen (with oven and table to seat at least 6) plus a laundry. Remember to put the bins out on Fridays!

Good room, with nice new furniture and new carpet (at the date...). It has one smll wardrobe, one drawer, one small drawer, a tea table and a desk, with a computer chair. Internet socket. Medium size, quite, in a good flat.

Room 5 is very comfortable to live in, it is fairly large and has a garden view. Five people share one bathroom on the first floor and three people share a bathroom on the ground floor.

Kitchen is ok. Shower is nice but there is no ventilation in the bathroom. The corridor doesn't have a window so it stinks quite often because someone has cooked and you cannot open a window. Room only has a window to towards the boathouse so the room is not very bright. Sometimes a bit of noise from the weightlifting room right next door...

Conversation in the hallway is pretty audible - since the front door is right outside, comings and goings are too. Kitchen across the hall is convenient, but can be noisy. The room size means the heater is pretty effective, though.

Generally, a nice room. But very noisy, due to traffic lights directly outside the window. Park Lodge as a whole is (and has been) vulnerable to intruders; this room is particularly vulnerable in that it is on the ground floor and easily accessible from the outside. After three break-ins in the last year, college as kindly installed some extra outside lighting. Last point, radiator (even after college maintenance attended to it!) doesn't work.

The room is quite large (twice as large as Park Lodge room 6, which is also grade 3) but gets lots of bus noise at all hours of the night. This is especially a problem when the weather is hot and it is necessary to sleep with the window open.

The room currently has adequate storage with a dresser, closet and some shelving. It looks out on a busy road and is in the back corner of the house and shares a toilet and bath with one other person.

Big room with lots of light (but does get very hot in the Summer). Shares a wall with the bathroom and faces onto Parker's Piece so does get some noise at night from the cars. Otherwise a very good room!

This is a reasonably small room but perfectly adequate with a desk, chest of drawers, wardrobe, bed, bedside table, two chairs and mini fridge. It is on a floor with three other people who share a bathroom and a large kitchen. The room is at the front of the house so there is noise from traffic.

This is a great room. It is the largest room in the house and shares a bathroom with 3 other rooms on the floor. There is a large walk in closet with hanging space and shelves. Two large windows look out on Parker's Piece, and the only downside is there is some noise from bus traffic down Parkside. Plenty of room for a bed, two desks, dresser, sofa, two chairs, and a mini fridge etc. Kitchen is a bit small for all the people in the house and the whole house could do with some upgrading and a frsh coat of paint, but by and large a very good room.

Right on Milton Road, quite a lot of noise. Thin curtains that let the streetlights through at night. Small, but complete bathroom. Small room but complete and comfortable with en suite bathroom.

Large room, with window looking out to the large back garden. Comfortably houses a large desk, two seater sofa, bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and ample shelving. As with all rooms in house has en-suite bathroom but this one has a a bath. Only downside is a little noise caused by doors banging outside door.

Room is large. There is mould around the window and the room looks out onto a busy road, it is very noisy due to heavy traffic. It is en suite and the shower is hot and powerful but there is no hot water in the mornings.

The room is long and narrow, and has a bathroom with a shower. The wallpaper is flowery, but it's not too bad. There can be slight problems with damp, especially when the bed is right up against the wall. This is probably because the extractor fan in the bathroom doesn't work. Central heating and regular airing of the room seems to prevent this. The road is noisy, lots of lorries and buses, and the curtains are a bit thin given that the sun rises directly opposite the window! But on the whole it's a nice room.

Not a huge room but works well. Good sized fitted wardrobe with shelves. Chest of drawers, desk, bed, chair and bookshelf all fit in. Sink in room with ensuite. Shower is v good. Toilet does not always flush properly (college won't do anything about this as is 'functioning ok'). Overlook house on side but see white wall which reflects light in nicely and are not dierctly opposite one of their windows. Wallpaper is very pink but no garish pattern on it (a bonus for Suffolk House rooms)

The showers is Suffolk House tend to be bad. I have one of the better ones, it is electric so not much water pressure but sometimes it goes very hot and then very cold and you have to get out of the shower half way though. This problem has been reported to college but they seem very slow to act in Suffolk House. Other than that, the room has a lovely view of the garden and has a big radiator so stays warm. It is large and comfortable.
