This opportunity to share this luxury home doesn't come around very often and based on feedback it's "to a higher standard than most."
Located in a relatively quiet, mature residential area directly in BT48, it is close to the Magee University Campus and major supermarkets, and only an easy 1-mile (15-minute) brisk walk into Derry City Centre.
There is also a nature reserve a 10-minute walk from the house, with a 24-hour gym right on the doorstep.
The Property
An exceptional 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2-reception Edwardian property featuring fitted double glazing throughout. It has been furnished inside and out to a high standard, with easy-clean walnut floors in bedrooms and communal areas and a luxury wool carpet runner on the stairs.
Ground Floor:
Shared use of a fully equipped kitchen (full use of cutlery, plates, kitchen gadgets, and a newly installed dual-fuel gas/electric range cooker with a built-in air fryer) and a shared living room with a log-burning stove in open plan dining area.

Rear yard featuring an open double garage on one side, permitting al fresco dining (in summer months), a gas and charcoal BBQ area, and a bistro set, alongside sheltered seasonal clothes drying all year round. (Smoking and vaping is permitted at the rear of the property outside of shared communal areas and bedrooms.)
Parking:
On-street parking available directly outside the property in full view of Ring video doorbell.
The Room & Private Bathroom
At an expansive 6m x 4m, this room is far bigger than average, offering panoramic views, clean neutral decor, and plenty of space to make it your own.

Choice of a King-size or Queen-size bed, with options for generous storage facilities, a full working desk and chair, and a comfortable sofa with coffee table as required.

Housemates & Atmosphere
You will be sharing with the live-in landlord, a local tour guide, passionate dog owner, and keen home cook with a taste for proper coffee, craft beer, hiking, and running Camino with Chip, our friendly, house-trained 6-year-old female Border Collie (who only has access to the ground floor area), and my girlfriend, who is a teacher and artist with an in-house studio.
Tenancy Terms & Move-In
Move-In Payment:
To secure the room, we require a a token deposit plus the first month’s rent upfront prior to move-in.
Simple Vetting:
No lengthy formal reference checks required, though we ask for basic proof of income/studies and a quick chat to ensure a good household fit.
Flexibility & Term:
Tenancy agreements are drawn up and signed on acceptance. Rent is paid monthly in advance. We offer an initial 3-month minimum stay, rolling into a standard 6-month agreement (continuing monthly thereafter).
Planned Sale Note:
Due to the planned sale of the property around Easter 2027, extensions beyond 6 months are subject to availability.
Happy house-hunting! Should you wish to view the property or ask any questions, feel free to get in touch to arrange an in-person viewing or a video chat tour (WhatsApp). If we feel you would be a good fit for the household, we'll respond promptly with a few introductory questions.
