Garden-view peaceful double room in lovely house

Kitchen area

Peaceful garden-view double bedroom for rent in quiet, leafy area with good bus routes, lovely walks, and just a short walk from Morningside's shops, cafes, bars etc. Rent includes all bills, Council Tax & high-speed WiFi.

The room that is available is a spacious double bedroom, west facing onto back garden – it gets afternoon and evening sun.

The room has all the usual - double bed, chest of drawers, wardrobe, and so on. Desk and other items if requested.

We have a large, light kitchen / dining room, shared garden-room, 2 bathrooms, big garden, fast broadband, secure garage to store bikes, and free on-street parking.

The area is green and peaceful, with lovely walks nearby. Good bus routes are nearby and get you into town in 15 minutes or less (11, 15 & 16 via Bruntsfield / Lothian Rd, 5 to Newington, 23 to The Mound), and also to Edinburgh and Napier University sites. It is also easy to get to the Roslin Institute, the Bush Vet Campus, Pentland Science Park.

We are a friendly household - Chris and I, plus couple of renters. Occasionally one of our grown up kids stays a night. We are often away, as we love hiking, travel and wild places. We are also into films, books, ideas, music, good coffee etc. Chris teaches Qui Gong and does pottery. I love the outdoors, wild swimming, and try to brush up my French and Spanish, sometimes mess around with horses.

The house works best for people who go to work during normal (ish) hours. We’re looking for someone who enjoys a sociable chat now and again, but is basically happy in their own space and getting on with their own life.

No smoking, and sorry, we both like animals, but no pets (except tiny ones, e. g. gerbils!).

The ideal start date is early June. We like to meet people face to face before we go ahead with rentals.

So, do get in touch if you are interested, and please tell us a bit about yourself. Thanks!
