Log burner

You're welcome to use the log burner, you'll need to supply your own logs and kindling. Please use the guard when lit and never leave it unattended.

Problems & Breakages

We appreciate that accidents happen and things wear out. Please help us by reporting anything that gets broken or is not working so that we can address it as soon as we can.

BBQ

There is a barbeque in the bike shed. It is not cleaned by our visiting cleaners so, if you use it, you must clean it after use.

Washer & dryer

The washing machine and dryer are in the cellar utility area. For safety, please make sure the dryer’s lint filter is kept clear.

Home cinema

There’s a cellar cinema system — TV, Blu-ray, and surround sound. See the full guide for how to switch between modes.

Collection day: Monday

There's just one bin to deal with — the big green bin by the back gate, for mixed recycling and general waste together.

• General waste (anything non-recyclable) — tie it up in a bin liner before it goes in.
• Recyclables (bottles, plastics, card, paper, cans, tins, metals) — these can go in loose, they don't need bagging.
• It's all sorted at the depot, so there's no need to separate the two yourself.
• If the collectors leave the bin down the lane afterwards, please bring it back up to the garden.
• Extra recycling points are available at the library.

Please don't leave bags of rubbish or recycling lying around in the garden — a removal charge will be applied.
