The house is in a quiet cul-de-sac near Kentwood Hill and 10 minutes walk from Tilehurst station. Local shops 5 minutes walk, Waitrose 10 minutes. No. 18 bus 1 min. walk, no. 16 bus, 5 mins. There is a large park behind the house with direct access from garden. Patio and small garden. Car parking space for each room.
We are a live-in family (including one child, 7 years old) in the main house, and the available rooms are in annex, pictured. This includes upstairs downstairs en-suite rooms as well as a shared kitchen/dining room. There is also a small patio and garden outside the annex. As it's part of our family home, we are looking for people who like a bit of a family atmosphere. Our last lodger was with us for 9 years (but there's no pressure to live up to this!).
It's a nice tucked away spot with a lot of green around, and we like to cultivate good relationship with our housemates, and of course between the two in the annex will naturally see more of each other. Two friends could take the rooms, or if one comes first, they can help us choose the second housemate.
Everything is included in the rent, including wifi.
Room 1 (upstairs)
5.0m x 3.6. Large double bedroom with en-suite. This room has a lot of natural light and view with 2 south facing windows and 1 north facing velux. It's very spacious, and easily accommodates a desk and sitting area. (There's no bed yet in the pic as we're just getting that!) There are outside steps to room, and whoever lives there does need to go out and down to the shared kitchen. Available from the start of May.
Room 2 (downstairs)
3.8 x 2.7. This is a double bedroom with en-suite. There's enough room for desk and easy chair, but for added space, it could have just a single bed by arrangement. There's good light, with windows on two aspects, and a green view of trees and garden. The shared kitchen is right next door. This room is being refurbished with a new floor and new bathroom. Available at the start of June due to refurbishments.
Shared kitchen
5.0 x 2.7. Good light, with windows on two aspects. All the usual kitchen garb (including washing machine), and as well as the dining table, there's a small soft seating area. As we've just said goodbye to our last long term housemates, this space is ripe for personalisation!
