INCLUDING MOST BILLS, AND COUNCIL TAX, TWO BEAUTIFUL ENSUITE BEDROOMS
Looking for two housemates for shared house with garden and limited parking. Ive done up the house from top to bottom and tho some still to do, its a really lovely and comfortable house, full of books.
I have two finished double ensuite bedrooms available; the "blue one" has an ensuite bathroom with toilet, basin and bath ( with hand-shower), and the "green one" has an ensuite with shower, basin and toilet, both bathrooms newly fitted and bedrooms freshly decorated and cleaned.
The rooms have polished oak floors and bedside rugs, one faces east and the other west, both overlooking garden and trees. The green bedroom has a kingsize bed with good mattress and two mattress protectors, desk, chest of drawers, hanging rail and rocking chair. The blue bedroom is smaller, with a double bed with excellent new mattress, two mattress protectors, shelf, desk, wardrobe and chair.
Downstairs, there is a large shared living room, dining room, utility (with toilet, sink, washing machine and tumble dryer) and kitchen for the housemates. The sitting room is gorgeous with comfy sofas and woodburning stove, tho I am still doing up the kitchen ( which has separate fridge for housemates, a cooker, double sink and multi-use microwave). Renovating from scratch has been hard work, but the result is a cosy, bookish home. It is important to me that it is kept well (with a weekly joint cleaning rota to keep it as it is now) and that we are all "environmentally conscious"- careful with resources and energy. The boiler, for example, is on a timer for morning & evening and not on the rest of the time.
Two lodgers recently trashed my home and were on the sofa all day which I didn't like; it has taken weeks to clean up after them which I am not prepared to do again- I would like a peaceful life, and some good interesting company...
We like music, comedy, art, wine, books, politics, films and the countryside.- and a kitchen disco here and there.
Partners and friends are welcome to visit occasionally as long as I am kept informed, but NOT do laundry, be in the house when the housemate is out, nor stay for extended periods. I am happy for either lodger to put a tv in their rooms so that the shared living room is not overwhelmed.
The front garden is for all house; it is gated/hedged off the drive, while the back garden contains my workshop and is private. The garden is a shared resource and calls for a small amount of shared care.
There is parking for two cars on private drive, plus a grass verge in front for extras as necessary- I would like to be able to keep my own car on the drive some of the time.
Bills, such as water, electricity, oil, tv license and council tax (except firewood and broadband) are included up to a generous point based on previous usage and up to a certain ceiling( to be discussed at point of contract): for example, the oil boiler for heating is on a timed sequence am and pm, and not on the rest of the time, and I would expect electricity and water use to stay below a certain level.
The village has a pub and a fish and chip van on Fridays ( very good). Diss and Tesco, train, shops etc, are about fifteen mins away; North Lopham is a good "jumping spot" for all of Norfolk and Suffolk, but is quiet and safe, and the neighbours are decent and respectful ( so I try to be the same back).
We would like friendly housemates who might sometimes like a lively discussion, music and shared food.
I value privacy highly, and will respect yours as I expect mine to be respected, but will need to check your rooms every few weeks to check they are in good order (by appointment); this is because I had a lodger who caused considerable damage to her room and its contents, and I obviously don't want that to happen again.
I am fair, openminded and kind, but haven't much patience with greedy, lazy, types: this is a lovely place to live for people who need it, and can put a little time into keeping it that way. Im always busy but would like to make new friends too.
I think that a two or three month trial period would be in all interests to make sure living together is a good fit.
