Double Room in Lovely Roath home

Hi there, I am renting out this double bedroom in my house for a total of £800 per calendar month for a maximum of 6 months. You would be joining me and my dog (mini cockapoo) Bodhi.

Ideally, I would like to rent to professionals however I would also welcome a mature student. Future lodger must like dogs. Bodhi is really friendly and quickly settles with new people. I welcome pets and if you have a dog that gets on with other dogs this could be a possibility - please enquire.

Availability and Contract:
This room is available for a six months’ contract from 25th October 2026 at a rent of £800, all bills included, including a monthly cleaner. I provide an initial contract of 3 months with intention of extending to six months if both parties are content.

About me:
I am 42 years old, and I work for the NHS in administration. I am home 2 days a week and in the office for three. I am considerate and like a clean and tidy but relaxed home.
I would describe myself as an extroverted introvert. I enjoy meals out, theatre, seeing friends, singing in a choir, an occasional pub trip and fun days out. I adore the beach and being outdoors with my new four legged friend.

However, I also enjoy relaxing at home watching films and box sets, and cooking, reading, or doing meditation and yoga. I love board games and table tennis too.

The House Dynamic:
Its important to me to find the right dynamic. I enjoy at times opportunities to connect and have little chats over cooking/meals and look out for each other, but equally I lead a busy life so not always around. Therefore, I'm looking for a lodger who is quite self sufficient and independent. I am also very much an early bird so I would be looking for someone who is ideally not a night owl.

I like a clean house but not obsessive and I'll be honest washing up does sometimes get left for a day. I am flexible on move in date any time between 25th October to middle of November.
A future lodger would also need to be friendly, considerate with noise, communicative, and help keep communal areas tidy.

The House:
The house is beautiful, and spacious and is on Alfred Street, off Albany Road. 3 minutes walk to Roath park or 20-30 minute walk to city centre.
House is a Victorian terraced 3 bed with many old features. It has a bright kitchen, recently renovated sitting and dining room and landscaped garden, a beautiful light and airy sitting /dining room, bathroom with bath and shower and an extra downstairs toilet.

THE ROOMS:
The room is a medium double at the back of the house next to the bathroom and separated from the other two bedrooms. It includes a comfy double bed, cupboard, bedside table, desk, and drawers, long mirror, curtains & blinds, chair, lampshade and it overlooks the garden.

THE HOUSE:
The house has been renovated to include an airy kitchen with real oak worktops and quartz worktops to give it a light spacious feel in the daytime, and a cosy feel at night. Includes all modern appliances. There is a beautiful recently renovated living room / dining room, comfy sofa and smart TV with Netflix. I would be happy to discuss sharing additional streaming services.
The dining room is part of the lounge and has french doors going out into the garden.
Upstairs is a shared bathroom with toilet, large basin, bath and good shower. Additional toilet and sink downstairs.

There is very good wifi throughout the house.
The back garden is landscaped with rustic patio and shed, washing line and garden furniture.

LOCAL AREA:
The house is in the sought after Roath park area with long standing neighbours next door with other neighbours being a mix of residents and student. It has on street permit and non permit parking.
I am allowed to purchase an additional permit per house so you are welcome to apply for a permit. This is around £35 per year and is in addition to the rent.
