One double room + private lounge

This is a double room with its own sink, double futon bed + built-in storage of 4 drawers and hanging space within a big wardrobe. You will also have your own unfurnished lounge room and a separate entrance (although you may also use the shared entrance). These rooms are at the far end of a bungalow-style home. There is a shared kitchen with washing machine, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and a shared bathroom with shower and bath.
There is a garden and a semi-private patio for you to enjoy (I will have access across the patio) and I would love it if you liked gardening to help with weeding and landscaping.
Situated in the desirable Fellside area of Kendal, this will suit a quiet, self-contained, working individual. It is a ten-minute walk down the hill into town (and maybe a 15-minute walk back up!), close to the Brewery Arts Centre (for music, theatre and cinema) and near to woods and open country. Parking is by permit on a road just down the hill from the apartment and there is garage space for bikes and possibly even a kayak.
Utility bills are partially included with you being liable for additional usage of gas, electricity, wi-fi and water beyond my current direct debit; plus the additional 25% council tax for your occupancy (Band D). I encourage an economically and environmentally minded lodger who shares my values of putting on a fleece rather than turning up the heating, being mindful of water usage and turning off lights when not in use! I encourage the use of grey water to flush the toilet and wash hands with cold water to minimise resource use. But there are 8 solar panels on the roof which help generate daytime electricity for washing machine and dishwasher.
I'm a mix of social and solitary person who works mainly at home. I enjoy scrabble, outdoor activities and interesting company (obviously this is subjective and perceptual but I'm more inclined to scientific thought than daily gossip!). I'm mainly a morning person rather than a night owl so would prefer someone inclined to early nights and socialising outside of the house. For me, sharing a house works through co-operation, communication, compromise when needed, acceptance of quirks and lifestyle, compatibility, rationality, humour/banter and honesty. Please also bring a warm, light energy that doesn't take your egoic self too seriously!
If you are in need of accommodation and any of this resonates with you, do be in touch. I'm not offering the rooms on a first-come basis as I'm mindfully looking for a suitable lodger and house companion.
