Bedroom 1 has a toilet and sink next to the room.

I am seeking only to have a maximum of two lodgers (Currently have one female lodger resident) as reduced number works best. Only Bedrooms 1. The other bedroom is used by guests and my family.

No couples or pets please. (We have a pet, he is a young Cocker Spaniel).

Lodgers have use of a shared bathroom with shower and bath. Double bedrooms include usual fitted furniture and double beds.

b) Landlord is occasionally away travelling / sailing, Less likely in 2025.

c) Lodgers expected to keep their rooms clean. All bedrooms have small sliding bolt locks for privacy.

d) Shared areas jointly cleaned by all, including Landlord. Very light duty, mainly achieved by leaving things nice for the next person to use.

e) This is a lodging / licensee arrangement and not a multi-occupancy tenancy. Everyone helps to keep the household shared areas clean and tidy.
