Large room in beautiful house near central Reading
Large room next to a large shared bathroom in a beautiful, old (but very much modernised) house near Reading West station. Available from September - bills, wifi and hot tub all included.
This fully furnished room is approximately 150+ sqft, at the back of the house on the first floor and adjacent to a stunning large bathroom. Dormer windows and high ceilings create a sunny outlook and there is ample storage within the room itself.
The house is decorated and maintained to a very high standard, and is light, airy and very pleasant to live in. It is plenty big enough to give you your own space when you want it, but equally the kitchen and eating area is communal and spacious. There are modern appliances throughout and although we don't have a TV licence, broadband is included so iPlayer/Netflix etc cover all televisual needs.
Current residents are self-employed, so do not keep regular office hours. They include a musician, an au pair, a scientist and a friendly black cat. It's a very happy and relaxed house and we aim to keep it as such. We sometimes all eat or watch a film together, but also we sometimes don't see each other for a week - there is no requirement to be social if you're not in the mood.
Our new resident will be happy, intelligent and reasonably clean and tidy. A sense of humour wouldn't hurt either. Although most of the cleaning is done by the current residents, everyone does their bit on occasion - basically, if you use it, take a turn in cleaning it. We don't mind if you're a student or are working, but we'd prefer a female. Although the room is large and has a small double bed, we are not looking for a couple.
We are two minutes walk from Reading West train station, with direct trains to London all day. It's a 12 minute walk to central Reading and buses are all over the place. You can walk to at least three Tescos within 10 minutes, if you have the urge, and there are loads of other fast food places, restaurants, coffee bars and more close at hand. Although our road is very quiet and peaceful, it's only a very short walk to the action. Parking is not directly outside the property, but can be found very close. All bills are included with the rent, and we have priced the room competitively as we'd like to be able to choose the perfect person to live with us, not squeeze as much money as possible out of the room. Oh yes, and we have a hot tub.
If you are the perfect person for us, we're looking forward to hearing from you. Viewing is highly recommended as the photos don't really do the room justice. It's also worth noting the chap in the kitchen photo is not a resident, it's my Dad, I just don't have a better kitchen photo yet. Also, one of our residents is sharing a baby, so a tiny human will be around sometimes. But, it's a big house with lots of room and we're pretty good at keeping personal space personal.
We would also consider a Monday - Friday let at a slightly reduced rate.
