Huge attic room in silent house with parking.

Ad ref# 4426983

Hi.

I'm looking for a quiet full time lodger, rent £549 inc all bills and council tax
or Mon to Fri only £400 inc bills (but not council tax.) for my peaceful and private attic room, which extends across the house in my three bed semi in the south of Sheffield. I also have a single room which I let on a per use basis at £25 per night.

There is car parking on the drive and a secure walled garden for bikes.

This is not suitable for someone working from home, who is on benefits or who works nights.

If you only want the room Monday to Friday it will normally be available from 18.00 on Sunday evening to 18.00 Friday evening. You wouldn't need to clear it every weekend unless I need to use it for friends or family.

I'm friendly and pretty laid back, but I do like a quiet house. I don’t have a TV licence, radio or listen to music although you are welcome to do all of that in your room - Virgin superfast broadband is included.

I live on my own and very occasionally have a friend round for supper so I prefer that lodgers don't bring guests back to the house although having a partner stay over occasionally by agreement wouldn't be a problem. My partner lives in another city and is unable to travel so sometimes I'm away at weekends but I also work some weekends.

The room has it’s own staircase with a self closing door at the bottom and is fully furnished with a comfortable double bed, large teacher style pedestal desk with office chair, super comfy leather armchair and footstool and a large walk in wardrobe. The room has its own microwave, hob, kettle and toaster for snacks but no sink.

There is a bathroom with a toilet bath and shower (shared with me) on the first floor.

My previous lodgers say it's been the nicest room they've viewed.

The attic room is really lovely and fairly newly decorated, The bathroom and kitchen could do with modernisation but the garden is a bit of a building site at the moment. You are welcome to use the kitchen and dining room for meals in the mornings before work and in the evenings there isn't really a shared area as such at the moment as the living room is being used for storage but that may change.

The house is located on a hillside in a quiet and friendly cul de sac above Meersbrook Park, so no traffic noise although the sparrows can get a bit loud! There's a vegan cafe and a great little corner shop at the bottom of the road It's a pleasant area 2 miles from the town centre, university and station and ideal for commuting to Sheffield town centre or to Chesterfield or Dronfield. There's a bus stop at the end of the road that goes into town and the A61 main road is just 1/4 mile away.

There are several excellent pubs and restaurants 3 great gyms and 2 beautiful parks and a couple of local food shops within easy walking distance. I've lived here for 20 years and love it. In 10 minutes drive you can be out in the Peak District.

I'm looking for a quiet lodger who who mainly keeps to themselves (as I do). I'm happy to have a chat over a cuppa or go out for a pint occasionally but if you're an extrovert looking for a house share or feel the need to let me know every time you come in or go out, then this probably isn't for you :-)

The minimum let is one week and I'll ask for proof of identity and place of residence in the UK in the form of a passport, bill or driving licence and the deposit of £595 plus the weekly or monthly rent paid in advance.. I’m happy to provide proof of rent if you would like to claim back living expenses.

About me: I like books, motorbikes, weight training and building stuff, I have an MSc in Neuroscience, but I work as a DT and science teacher and I also drive trucks between teaching jobs.

Please message me if you have any questions or you'd like to arrange to view the room.

Cheers, Steph
