This is the most fantastically finished HMO I have ever seen. I don't even want to advertise it as a shared house because that sounds too seedy. This is Oxford's version of the house where Alan Sugar's Apprentices live in London.
It has 7 bedrooms and seven beds but the HMO man says 'No.'
He thinks that the 7th room is to small to be a bedroom. Yikes. Its got a bed a wardrobe and a bedside table in it. If it looks like a bird and flies like a bird... And as for sizes: the understairs cupboard in this house is bigger than my bathroom at home; the 7th bedroom is bigger than most second bedrooms I've seen in modern flats lately.
The landlord is a builder who has owned the house for years and he's really pleased with the result and not too pleased with HMO man - or himself: when we were looking at the outside of the house he said to me that he had been cursing the idiot who scratched all the brickwork when he put the Coronation Street rendering on. Then he remembered that he had done the job himself 20 odd years ago!!
But even the brickwork looks great now though after some hard graft done through clenched teeth and if you know anyone who wants to live here get them to call me.
