We were only paying £70 a week so wasn't expecting great things. House was big but old and dusty/mouldy in places. One of my housemates and I both got respiratory infections lasting over a month. Property could be very nice but was in need of a renovation at the time. There were no baths and showers/toilets were in a weird layout - one toilet on ground floor, one shower/toilet on first floor and one shower on second floor. Rooms in attic had mouldy blinds and one of the first floor rooms (which had a sink) had mouldy walls. Single-glazed windows in some rooms made house hard to heat. Furniture had seen better days - upholstery stained and cupboard doors were hanging at an angle which made them hard to close. Whole place felt a bit musty.
Shower leaked through ceiling at one point and we were told not to use it, although we had to wait several days before anything was done about it, which was a nuisance but not the worst. House had its own parking space which was helpful.
