Spacious bedroom near Devonport Park and Dockyard

Your spacious double bedroom

Our home is a large flat across two floors, with the upstairs floor being the spatious bedroom on offer for our lodger with a beautiful view of the local park and over to Torpoint in Cornwall. You must be OK with stairs.

In the room there is a double bed, desk, desk chair, small wardrobe, set of drawers and a TV which you can use a HDMI cable to watch TV on from a laptop. There is also space under the bed for storage. Towels and bedding provided or you can use your own if you'd prefer.

The kitchen and bathroom is shared with space set aside for your things. Ideally you would bring your own kitchen crockery and utensils, but these could be provided if required.

There is a courtyard garden shared with the downstairs flat, with an opportunity for gardening and has good sun coverage for most of the daytime.

There are several smaller shops and takeaways on the road nearby, excellent bus routes and a fantastic park next to our flat. There is a school opposite the house and the neighbours are lovely. The Torpoint Ferry and Devonport train station is also located very close by.

All bills, Wifi and Council tax are included in the monthly cost. We would prefer to keep the living room to ourselves as we are a married couple who work from home and need space for our personal belongings, but we are generally sociable and may invite people to watch TV or films or play games from time to time, but we'd prefer our lodger to be fairly independent, using the bedroom as their personal space when home and can of course use the kitchen and bathroom, too.

There is a shared communal entrance at the front of the house for both flats in the building. There are lots of parking spaces on the road outside the house which you would need a permit for, costing approximately £48/year. The downstairs flat has cats and we occasionally have dogs visiting with family, so you must be comfortable with seeing animals sometimes.

We aim to keep our house clean and tidy, so we hope our lodger would also enjoy living in this way and be happy to wash up as you go (as there is limited counter space around the sink). We tend to have cleaners visit every two weeks to refresh the communal spaces.

Additional facilities also include a secure walled garden, perfect for keeping a bike, with a shed to keep some outdoor items if needed. We also have a washing machine and tumble drier.

Although we like talking and occasionally playing music, we are generally a quiet household and hope that our lodger would also be respectful of noise levels and keeping noise to a minumum when having guests over.

We are looking for a lodger who is also a non-smoker. We are ready to welcome someone to stay in our home if we all seem compatible and think our daily routines would work well together. You are welcome to visit and look around before deciding and it would be great to meet you.

We are a friendly couple (Sam and Jess) who enjoy singing and playing guitar and piano, particulalry at our local church. We are in our late-20s and are both working professionals. We largely work from home but may work out and about or in the office on occasion. We tend to have a fairly busy lifestyle doing DIY and enjoy going out and seeing friends and family. We have no pets but might consider getting a dog in the future. We tend to batch cook most meals rather than cook every day. Our kitchen does not currently have a door so we would prefer people to avoid cooking strong smelling meals where possible. We are both White British from Cornwall and moved to Plymouth originally to study at University before we settled here.

We are looking for a lodger for ideally a minimum of 1 month and then could extend the contract on a month by month basis if you would like to stay longer. More details to be outlined in the contract. If you'd like to stay for less than a month please let us know.

We'd love to hear from you if you think you'd be a good fit!
