Bright cosy room near universities. Desk & garden

I'm looking for a considerate, non-smoking person to rent a clean, bright and cosy double room in a calm and friendly home, in a peaceful part of Brighton, with the beautiful Downs right across the road. You’ll be sharing with me (the owner), and one other female lodger (who's mainly in her room, rarely cooks, and works most afternoons and evenings).

Being near the universities and the Downs, the room would suit a mature or postgraduate student, a university staff member, or a nature lover. Someone who's happy to be friendly, say hello, and sometimes have a chat, but that has an independent life. (Not suitable for people with lots of kitchen equipment, or other things that don't fit into their bedroom).

You're someone who's not a night owl (usually in bed by midnight during the week), is happy to respect quiet time after 22.30, will promptly clear up after yourself, keep communal spaces clean and tidy, and keep your room clean. Ideally, you'd work outside the home at least 3 days a week, and are pescetarian, vegetarian, or don't cook much meat at home.

The room is available from 5th April. Short let for three months initially, with the possibility to extend. The rent includes all bills and fast WIFI.

The room is fresh, clean and comfortable, with a lovely fireplace and plenty of storage. The desk is W75 x D50cm and has a drawer. There's a fitted wardrobe (two rails), fitted cupboards, drawers, bookshelf, under-bed storage and hooks on the back of the door, useful for hoodies, jackets, scarves and bags.

There’s a gorgeous hill view from the back of the house, and a strong shower (no bath). Outside, there's decking, patio, a pond and garden, it's lovely in the summer.

All pans, crockery & cutlery is provided. Hire of linen and towels is available on request.

You can lock your bike to the front of the house, and there are bike lanes down into town, and up to Falmer. There’s free on-street parking (uncontrolled Zone D).

The beautiful Downs, with nature and sea views, are right across the road. It's a 2-minute walk to the corner shop, post office, pub with beer garden, and the #49 bus into central Brighton.
The Moulsecoomb campus, Lewes Road’s many buses, and Moulsecoomb train station are a short walk down the hill. Note : Moulsecoomb train station links to central Brighton, Falmer and Lewes, and is not a mainline station.
From Lewes Road, it’s a quick bus ride south into town, or north to the Falmer Campus. The #25 bus runs all night, to get you home after a late night out at the weekend.

I’m a friendly pescetarian who appreciates a harmonious vibe at home. I work office hours, mainly from home, and like to get out several nights a week, and at the weekend. I enjoy singing, parkruns, and getting outside when the weather’s nice.

If you'd like to find out more, please get in touch, telling me a bit about yourself.
