Double Room in Hanover, Brighton

Hey there,

Last year I finally jumped onto the housing ladder for the first time, and my current fab lodger is now sadly moving out, to travel around the world! (Lucky duck)!

The house is based on a pretty street in Hanover in Brighton, with both a front garden and back yard; and is just 10 minutes-walk to the train station (and 20 minutes-walk to the sea-front). The neighbours are all lovely and there is a positive, community spirit on the street (with an active WhatsApp group).

The room itself is on the lower floor, and has been completely renovated, including new walls and new flooring; and is fully-furnished. There is a new King size bed (160x200cm), complete with new bedding and a ‘Emma UK Premium PRO mattress’, with room to walk round both sides of the bed. There is also shelving, a desk, (with swivel chair), a large cupboard; and a comfy chair. Just outside the room there is an additional double-wardrobe and a shoe-storage unit.

The bedroom is next door to the main bathroom for the house, which includes toilet, sink, a bath (with shower) and more shelving. (NB. I also have a separate toilet next to my bedroom upstairs).

On the ground floor there is a good-sized lounge and dining room (all open plan), leading through to a large kitchen (complete with Bosch oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine, air-fryer, etc) and a small back yard.

I’m a gay guy (so you’ll need to be LGBT friendly), and I'm looking for someone who’s good natured, clean and tidy; and who enjoys their own space, whilst also being up for doing some social activities together (eg. dinner parties, film nights, nights out, games nights, etc).

I work for NHS England, and I work from home three days a week (my desk is in my bedroom), and I commute into London the other two days, (when I’m out the house between 6am-6pm). It’s therefore vital that you appreciate the importance of the working week

I consider myself a friendly guy, usually smiling and respectful of others. I love films, good cooking (and wine), and the odd night out. I’ve just started getting back into the gym in the evenings; and at weekends I’m often doing bits of DIY on the house, paintbrush in hand!

The room is available now; and rent is £875 per month (including all bills); and the advance deposit is £450. The house has high-speed internet (Gig1 Fibre Broadband), and I’m signed up to most of the key TV channels (Netflix, Disney+, Paramount, Prime, NOW TV). Please note that parking is pretty limited on the street; and a parking permit has to be applied for, which can take 2-3 months (depending on the waiting list)

Sorry, no smokers or vapers, and no drugs in the house - thanks.

I look forward to hearing from you! Cheers, Matt :-)
