A Peaceful Household with Space to Breathe
Upper Swainswick, Bath
We’re looking for up to two people (one person per room; not a couple) to join our friendly household.
About Us
We are Edward and Rachel, and we live here most of the time. We both study, care for a large garden, and look after this beautiful—though occasionally demanding—old house.
The house is currently on the market, but there is no offer. If anything changes, you can expect open and honest conversations well in advance. This is the reason we have set 6 months as a maximum, but if no sale is on the cards we could extend.
We also have one en‑suite room listed on Airbnb, and occasionally host short‑stay guests in other rooms — but we’re now intentionally moving towards longer‑term lodgers to give the house (and ourselves!) a breather from frequent guest turnover. Occasional short stays may still happen, but this is very much a home, not a holiday let.
The House
A spacious, welcoming home with plenty of room for everyone:
Two sitting rooms
A large shared kitchen with two cooking areas
A big garden with patio and outdoor seating
Peaceful countryside setting on the edge of Bath
Located in the village of Upper Swainswick
Our Home Culture
We are Christians who love the Bible and enjoy talking about God. We welcome anyone who is comfortable in a faith‑friendly environment, whether you’re already part of a church or simply spiritually curious.
Who This Would Suit
You may enjoy living here if you’re looking for:
A calm, generous, spacious home
A lived‑in environment with plenty of breathing room
A warm, respectful, open household
A proper home rather than just a bedroom
We are looking for single lodgers, one per room.
If this sounds like the kind of home where you would feel relaxed and welcome, we’d love to hear from you.
