The house is detached and has a fairly large garden, which is great. We had to persuade the landlord to let us use the garage, which he did eventually. There are 4 bedrooms (2 large, 1 medium and 1 small), a living room, kitchen and 1 bathroom. There is also a toilet outside in the garage. The kitchen has a lot of storage, which is useful, and has a dishwasher (though the wooden panel broke and was never fixed). The medium bedroom gets a lot of natural daylight, and there is also attic access from the upstairs landing. However, the whole house is very poorly ventilated, and prone to mould and heavy condensation. We invested in a powerful dehumidifier which helps us to control it a little, but still requires daily drying of the windows and monthly de-moulding sessions in winter. A lot of the house facilities are aged and prone to breaking - every time anything broke the landlord would only authorise a patch repair, rather than investing in new facilities, such as the boiler, shower, front and back doors, side gate... (as was recommended by multiple contractors). The whole ground floor (apart from the bedroom) is un-carpeted, which makes for easy cleaning. The carpets in the bedrooms vary in quality a lot - the majority have extremely thin carpets that are hard to vacuum. The curtains in most rooms were non-existent when moving in, or incredibly flimsy and see-through.
