A peaceful double overlooking the garden

Available now.

I am looking to rent the room for 9 months initially but thereafter would be open to renewing on an annual basis. (the 9 months is just to bring the renewal in line with when I plan on being home to sort things out).

The room is at the back of the house so it's nice and quiet. It's a good sized double and has just been re-decorated. It comes complete with a generous workspace, although there's alos plenty of space to work in communal areas too.

There is also a large kitchen, with a big table and plenty of fridge space. Plus, a cosy sitting room with a wood burner.
The garden at the back is very green and full of wildlife (birds and squirrels mostly) and there's a deck for chilling with a coffee and a book. It’s also great in hot weather because the trees create a lot of shade at the back of the garden, which helps cool the house.

Most of the time you will be sharing with my brother Matthew and our lovely new lodger Tom. I will probably only be home for 2-3 months during the summer (during which time I will stay in the box room) but may come back at other times if needed.

Matthew’s room is downstairs and he’s quite shy and generally keeps to himself and has his own bathroom so you probably won't see him a lot.

Tom is a queer film producer, who is generally much more up for a chat. He’s a big animal lover who co-parents a dog called Oscar, who may visit from time to time. Oscar is very comfortable with cats and dogs, so we would be open to adding more pets in to the mix.

I am a wildlife vet currently doing my PhD in Nepal. As I said, I will be away a large proportion of the time, but when I am around, very up for getting to know each other and similarly equally happy to give you your space

Ideally, we are looking for people of a similar age and outlook, who are clean and tidy and not looking for a massive party house, although that’s not to say you can't host or have people over.

There is street parking available if you need it - you need to get a residents permit, but the permit itself is free, just a matter of filling in some forms.

Rent is inclusive of all bills including council tax (band D) and we have a cleaner every two weeks for the common areas.
