    The window panes divided in half mean the house was built approx 1930s. The raucous bird call in the background was a koel (koe -ell) like a cuckoo, males are all black. Get to know the local birds.

    Huntsman are harmless. They are good to have around as they will get the insects. The place you got is an old style building as for the high ceilings and windows.

    You should have to pay water usage - landlord pays for the water connection. There is council tax also, but that is covered by the landlord. Laundry outside is very uncommon, you’d only find it in houses built prior to 1970

      Huntsman spiders won’t harm you at all, aside from making you jump when you first see it inside your house. But you can leave them alone and they’ll be out of sight for weeks, eventually leaving without you even knowing. They’re looking for cockroaches and any other crawlies you might have. In summer, the cockroaches are unavoidable because they live under the ground and the warm air brings them out to explore for food. I hate them! Thank God for the Huntsman!
