Fairview
- The location of the house is 400 metres along a path from the southeast corner of the main campus (ie the Sports Cage). A one mile walk into town. My family home for ten years.
- The house is for six students, including two bedrooms on the ground floor. There is a large kitchen diner and a conservatory. Three gardens, patio, and parking for 4 vehicles.
- Most of the rooms are enormous by modern standards apart from one smallish downstairs bedroom. The house is now double glazed since Jan 2004 and well insulated - floor and attic, and all heating and water (and tumble drier) is on off peak rate electricity (1/3rd normal rate). This keeps the bills reasonable.
- The house has one bathroom with WC, one ground floor separate WC, one separate shower (set into the rock behind the conservatory and chilly in winter) and one Shower room with WC. No ensuites but front bedrooms have handbasins.

The new conservatory pictured above, has been brought
into the 21st century and is now modern & very highly
insulated. Seems to be everyone's favourite room.
- Broadband wired to each bedroom. Tenants responsible for ISP.
- Rent each: £86 per week. Half rent if unoccupied for 15 weeks during summer. So an annual total of £3827 which includes double oven, microwave, washing machine, tumble drier, fridge freezer, and 2nd fridge. Patio and garden furniture. Gardening and grass cutting included. The house is a registered and licensed HMO controlled by the local council. Electrical safety, smoke detectors and extinguishers are maintained as per regulations.
