Lovely Room - Health/Fitness, & Nutrition?

Ad ref# 44363

One fully furnished bedroom in a lovely large Victorian house in the heart of Abington is availabe. The house is just a short walk from Abington park, the town centre and Northampton General Hospital. A double sized room for single occupancy.

Anyone taking the room would be sharing with only one other the owner - me.

The room was last rented out at £790 per month in 2015, a nice house, convenient location and last but not least not a multi-let with what that can sometimes bring.

So why just a nominal rent now? Read on...

A bit about me. I'm an easy going guy - quite businessy....a good sense of humour and very well read and travelled - and I enjoy good conversation, debate, whatever really, I'm a very sociable person!

In 2015 I was starting an online retailing business and working from home hence the idea for some extra cash was attractive and decided to let the room, it worked well.

My business expanded rapidly, it moved out from the house long ago with many staff being taken on and much more room needed. It's fair to say I've had to work hard and still do and in fact things have been a bit too skewed in the work direction away from a healthy lifestyle and this is getting towards why I'd be happy to offer the room at a the nominal rate for the right person.

I want to improve my health, fitness and lifestyle quickly, towards how I used to be - and want to have made great progess in one month time.

The process has started but getting back into the habit of regular exercise has been a bit of a challenge and I thought well I have spare rooms, maybe having an enthusiastic someone around who was that way inclined towards health and fitness might be a really great thing, a good influnece and encouraging - so a possible win - win.

I've zero need for rental income so really I'm looking here for someone who can help with that and that I get on with well. Maybe this person is a DIY enthusiast with a good eye for interior design as I'm a little hapless there, any help appreciated!

So this is intneded for short term, a 1 or 2 month timeframe, but you never know.

There are no other bills - all electricity, gas, water, rates and broadband would be included.

The room is a double room size (a bit over 10 foot x 12 foot I think) and furnished with high quality furniture including a brand new single bed (pocket sprung mattress), wardrobe, samll cabinets, a tall boy and a TV. It is very nice room but there is a bit of work needed on it to be fair including a new window asap. Funiture can be taken out/added as required.

The house is situated on an Aveue just off the Wellingborough Road midway between the aprk and town centre.

Thanks for reading - sorry if it read a but random and disjointed, did it in rush!

Any questions please ask away.

Thanks :)
PS. After the person renting the room in 2015 moved out it did then start to get used as a two person office that bedroom - it is now back to being a very nice bedroom, nicely furnished but there are still some shelves up that were used for office purposes - mean to take them down and then take pictures of the room but haven't yet - so sorry for their absence as of now.

Question:
Hi Andy, is the stated price correct?
==============
Answer:
Hi, Thanks for your message, no there is no mistake in the price

As the ad says I'm considering it in a different way - more I'm looking for someone who can add to my health/fitness drive/enthusiasm and who is good company to have around as well ideally.

I guess the price I'm asking per week will pay the energy cost for them these days (maybe! haha) but if it ends up I get a result I want and achieve well in my quick health and fitness drive over the 1 to 2 months even partly with their help then it will be a great result for me, and who knows may meet a nice similar minded friend.

This will not fit the majority of people at all, as I can see from the expressions of interest so far - most don't read the ad at all and don't respond in kind - which is fine, everyones situation is different, but that is not suitable for me here in this idea of course :)

So it is up to people to tell me how they might fit in with my idea and sittuation- in the same way that some people might not fit very well at all, then, for others it might be totally ideal.

Many Thanks

Andy
