One large double room available for rent - furnished and move-in ready. Garden-facing with two windows. The bed is US queen sized, which is just a tiny bit smaller than a UK king sized bed (basically the bed is massive). I currently live here with a housemate, who occupies another room in the house - occasionally visited by family. My parents have owned the house for over twenty years now but currently live in Oman.
The house was recently refurbished in 2016 so bathrooms / kitchens etc. are all brand new. We have a decently sized garden round the back - any gardening (or lawnmowing...?) enthusiasts are most welcome to practise their magic on it. There’s a large apple tree in the garden too so keen bakers / jam-makers also very welcome to make good use of the fruit. We have a small deck patio with chairs and a sunshade for relaxing in the summer months, as well as a shiny new American-style gas barbecue, brought over from Texas.
There’ll be 2.5 bathrooms between 3 people, so no mad rush in the mornings.
I leave at 8am for work and get home anywhere between 8pm and 3/4am so I usually don't come back in time for dinner. Hopefully looking to find someone with a similar schedule although this is less important.
Bills are included in the monthly rent and covers:
Wifi (BT Broadband)
Gas

Water
Housekeeping for common areas (scheduled once every two weeks)
Cleaning products etc. (bleach, cleaning spray - basically anything the housekeeper uses)
