Warm Creative Home -Small Double room

All inclusive room available from 17th October in our warm, creative house. Becca 45, my partner Joe 45 (pictured with me), Mike 77 (who I inherited along with the house from my gran), Jim 38 and 2 cats, Chipple & Catkin (the fluffy lap cat) are looking for a new lodger in Whalley Range M16.

We have a bit of a shared social culture -Jim is a keen cook & I often have a soup on the go :). To us age doesn't matter much (Joe and I are young for our age and like an occasional night out dancing), so it's important to me that any younger applicants have a wide (age) range of friends themselves.

The room is fully furnished (with finishing touches) to suit you. Corrine the current tenant is moving on after 18 months here. It is a small double room with a small double bed.

The right person will care about working together to keep our home nice. There is some storage elsewhere in the house. There's plenty of fridge and freezer space for you. Smoking is outside, if you smoke.

I'm a jeweller and I make vegan cheese (Becca) and I work from home which is sometimes noisy so our house would not currently suit someone who works from home full time.

The house is around 18 degrees (or higher) day and night. We tumble dry most washing all year round in the outhouse (because it's better for the house and our health). I'd be happy to install a clothes airer outside if you’d like to use it in the warmer months. Joe is our resident builder and is slowly working on turning this house into my dream home. Most recently we've built a garden sofa to catch the last of the evening sun. All the big stuff is done now I'd say.

Mike (77 years old and gay), is an eccentric artist and painted most of the abstract paintings in the house. Jim is a Creative Director for film & tv, Joe is an a keen mountain biker. I'm working on a couple of new artistic projects.

Neither Joe or I eat meat but Mike does, Jim is mostly veggie/occasionally pescatarian. Rent is inclusive of all bills and a few extras like Netflix, a cleaner (for deeper cleaning) and household basics like toilet roll, soaps and detergents. Historically this has always been a family home and long term lodgers were like family. We're not perfect but we try to keep the house nice all the time and don't leave little jobs for later if we can help it. If you're green fingered there's space to build a couple of small veg beds in the South-West facing garden.

I sometimes host pot-luck meals for friends. Our open plan kitchen is ideal for hosting small social gatherings. My dream is Spanish style entertaining (but not ending late).

Rent is £587 per calendar month. 2 weeks money upfront will secure your room, then the firsts months rent would be due on move in day, then monthly after that.

I look forward to hearing from you if you think you might be a good fit.
