Double bedroom in Southside of Glasgow

Living room

- - The property - -
I have a double bedroom available to rent in a two bedroom, semi-detached house in the Southside of Glasgow. There is a lamp, two sets of drawers, mirror, desk, computer chair, a double and single wardrobe, and a double bed with ikea mattress in the room.

The room faces onto the back garden, and there is a window with roller blind and curtains.

There is a shared bathroom with a waterfall shower off the mains boiler. The shared living room has a smart TV, blinds, blackout curtains, sofa, two chairs, coffee tables and shelving units. The kitchen is modern with dishwasher, microwave, oven, fridge, freezer, toaster, kettle and cutlery etc, and there is an area with a small dining table and chairs.

The house has a driveway and unrestricted free parking on the street. There is a small front garden and a larger back garden with decking, astroturf and a shed available to use for storage. There is also access to the floored attic for additional storage if required.

The bills are currently about £70 for gas and electricity per month, £20 for broadband per month and £120 for council tax per month. The bills are paid separately to the rent.

- - The location - -
The house is in Dumbreck in the southside of Glasgow. It is a 4 minute walk to the nearest train station (Dumbreck) and then it is 5 minutes on the train to Glasgow Central station or about 15 minutes to Paisley Canal station in the opposite direction.
It is a 13 minute walk to the nearest underground stations (Cessnock or Ibrox are just about equal distance), a bus passes along Nithsdale Road regularly into the city centre and the M77, M8 and M74 motorways are also close by so it is an ideal base for commuting by private or public transport.

Bellahouston and Pollok parks are within a 5 minute walk and the area is a quiet, leafy suburb of the city.

- - The household - -
Tim has lived in the other room in the house for 3 years. He is originally from near Manchester and works from home for the NHS in mental health services. He says “I am friendly but generally quiet. I like to have a chat but I'm equally happy in my own space. An early night and a good night's sleep are very important to me! I really like living here - it's so quick to get to the centre and the local parks are great. My only real criteria is someone who is quiet and respectful. As I work from home full time I'd prefer someone who works out of the house, at least some of the time. I'd consider a post-grad if you are willing to still pay half the council tax (this would be a reduced rate for both of us). Vegetarian or vegan would be preferable but it's not a deal breaker.”

- - The Landlord - -
I became an accidental landlord when I moved to Aberdeen for work 5 years ago and decided to rent out my house rather than sell it as wasn’t sure how permanent it would be. I am Glasgow born and bred and bought the house in 2018 when it needed a full renovation.

We are looking for someone who is quiet, friendly and respectful. It's important that the new tenant doesn't smoke and we would be happy to consider someone with a well-behaved pet. We are looking for someone who would want to stay for around 6-8 months (although this can be flexible) as it is looking likely that Tim may move on at that point and I may look at selling the house/doing something else with it then. Tim will be doing in person viewings only. Thanks for looking at the ad!
