Bedsitting Room near Buses Free Parking Near A27

Your bedsitting room which opens via patio doors onto the decking of the rear garden.

Well served by buses & ideal for commuting along the A27/A23/M23 with free parking. We're an older married couple, but don't think we're old in mind. We're easy-going & have varied interests including Stonehenge Open Accesses & British Motorcycles. We used to exhibit our bikes at various shows, although both are currently off road for much-earned rebuilds.

We're looking for a longer-term working person. We would prefer a male, but we'll consider a suitable female or non-gender specific person too.

THE ROOM
Your good-sized furnished bed-sitting room looks onto the back garden & is a suntrap in the afternoons & evenings. There is not enough room to comfortably fit a double bed though. The patio doors slide open so you can step straight onto the decking & back garden with a raised fishpond with a waterfall.

The bed-sitting room has a comfortable 3-foot day bed with quality mattress, & bedding, plus towels (if needed). The patio doors have curtains, & white vertical blinds. Two comfortable chairs, a small coffee table, fold-away desk + computer chair, TV stand with small TV & your own Virgin 360 Digibox so you can record your own programmes, Movies, & if you are into F1 - that's covered with Sky F1 HD channel & via Eurosport many of the Motorcycle races, such as British Superbike, MotoGP etc are covered via Eurosport too. I (Fee) was heartbroken when the 'Goat' retired, but it's great to see his young 'School of 46' racers coming on well. We're sure they'll be taking Championships in a few years!

KITCHEN
There is a shared, fully equipped Kitchen, with your own exclusive new air frier, plus shared induction hob, oven/grill, microwave, pizza oven, kettle, & sink/drainer. We can provide all you need in the way of cutlery, crockery, kitchen utensils, pots, & pans. You have your own cupboards, tea towels & food prep-area. It's a gallery kitchen so we work at one end & your space is at the other. You have your own shelves & door space in the fridge, & a drawer in the freezer.

DOWNSTAIRS LOO
Off the kitchen is a 'lean-to' which leads to the downstairs loo with hand basin & to the back garden onto the decking.

BATHROOM
Upstairs there is the bathroom with shower over the bath, with storage space for your toiletries in the shower & wall cupboard.

THE GARDEN
The west-facing garden is quite lovely now that summer is on the way & the decking gets the sun in the afternoon & evening, before the sun hides behind the trees.

GROW-YOUR-OWN
If you are 'into' grow-your-own, we have a greenhouse to start seedlings off & behind that is an area, we don't use so if you are prepared to make a 'raised bed' you would be free to have this as your own personal growing space. We use the greenhouse for our own seedlings & for our own plum tomatoes, sweet mini-plum tomatoes, & cucumbers and you would be welcome to grow-on your own seedlings ready for planting outside.
