Bins & Recycling
We’ve provided bins in the kitchen and instructions for outdoor bins to help keep things tidy. Details of refuse collection can be found in the welcome folder and we'll send you a friendly text reminder whenever any bins need to be put out. The council are working towards recycling options for local businesses, so watch this space!
Heating & Log Burner
The house has central heating throughout and underfloor heating in the main bathroom and master en-suite. The log burner is prepped with kindling and wood - feel free to light it using the gloves and firelighters provided. An infant safety guard is installed for added peace of mind.
