I have one double room available from mid May 2013 in my Victorian house in Central Lancaster. The house is close to Williamson Park and the Boys' Grammar School. There is a beautiful large garden.

The bedroom is on the first floor. It is currently furnished. It has a double pine bed, a canvas wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a desk, curtains, a large mirror, fitted carpet and a chair. This room gets the morning sun.

The shared facilities include a bathroom (with a wc, bath with shower), a second separate wc a large kitchen / dining room (or separate smaller kitchen if preferred), washing machine, a beautiful large garden. I am planning to have an additional shower installed.

The house has central heating (new boiler).

I am looking for professional working people or full time students.

I have two cats so cannot really accept anyone with pets (or possibly only on a longish let so that my cats can get used to them).

The rent includes some bills: broadband, electricity, water rates, some heating. I do not currently have a TV licence and would only really be prepared to get one for longish lets of 6 months or more.

I ask lodgers for their deposit & to sign a standard Common Law Agreement contract as soon as they decide to move in

I work from home and also do some private care work.

I prefer vegetarians but this is not essential. The qualities in the person I am looking for are: clean, tidy and considerate of other people.
