Spacious double room with en-suite shower available in a large detached house in the East Yorkshire countryside near Pocklington.
The room has a view over fields and is furnished with a king-sized bed, desk, chair, bedside tables, etc. There's a big shared kitchen, off-street parking, and a large garden which you're welcome to enjoy (and to give us a hand in if you wish!). There's a separate Breakfast Room / Lounge which you can use for yourself or your guests.
Pocklington and Market Weighton are nearby and have good shops and other amenities. York, Hull, Beverley and Driffield are all within easy reach, and if you enjoy walking the Yorkshire Wolds are just a stone's throw away. However, the nearest bus-stop is about 2 miles away so you'll need your own transport.
I wouldn't normally do this, but our most recent lodger - who sadly left us to take up a new job - insisted on it! She's written:
"I have had the absolute pleasure of living with Janet and David for a few months now. Sadly, my work has taken me to Leeds and I have to move out. I have rented rooms for the past two years and this residence has (by far!) been the most peaceful. Janet and David are kind, easy going and very good at giving a lodger space. At the same time, I've been made to feel like a valued member of the household. The room is spacious and light, with lots of storage. It has a beautiful view of the paddock and the wild meadow garden is magical. You really have to view this property to see what a gorgeous location it is in. It's been a privilege to live with genuinely kind and intelligent people. They have set the bar very high for my next residence."
There is good wifi and phone signal. The accommodation is suitable for a single working professional. Utility bills are included in the monthly rental.
The live-in house-owners are a well-travelled professional couple - we're semi-retired but still working part-time, we do a lot of voluntary work, and sing in a local choir. We try to manage the garden and fields to encourage biodiversity.
Please note that as we keep horses, unfortunately this won't be the right place for you if you're allergic to them.
