Large Room in Beautiful Tidy House, Cleaner Includ

back garden

Hello,
I'm Laura, 33 (landlady), on the hunt for a housemate as our current housemate is moving to a place of his own. The room is available from the 8th Jan 2024 - I can be flexible with move in dates in Jan.

We are looking for a person who will fit our houseshare, to ensure that the house is a happy and comfortable place for everyone - someone clean and tidy, considerate of others, and currently working. We like to have a few drinks on a weekend but through the week the house is generally quiet- we hope to find someone who has a similar lifestyle.

I depend on renting two rooms to supplement my income as I am a post-graduate student. Therefore, I ask that housemates would be able to sign a contact (minimum 4 months), pay a £200 deposit, and give 4 weeks notice if you wish to leave (after the initial contract period).

I cannot accept pets or couples - sorry.

THE HOUSE
A 3 bed semi-detached, furnished well and very homely, with a large back and front garden to enjoy. There is a large kitchen and utility room with dining table, oven, microwave, kettle, toaster, modern washing machine, and all kitchen equipment is free to use for everyone. The new housemate will have an undercounter fridge freezer and large cupboard for themselfs.

There is a good-sized living room which is free for everyone to use. Upstairs is a bathroom with a powerful shower. There are 3 double bedrooms (one is mine and the other is rented to my housemate Ossie).

THE ROOM
The room is a large double and comes with bed, mattress, bedside table, draws, desk/dresser, curtains, and a huge build in cupboard / wardrobe. The bed is new and the mattress is comfy. It’s a light room with a big double window, new carpets, and it was newly decorated 6 months ago.

HOUSE SHARE
I am happy to rent to people of any age, occupation, and gender, but its important the person is clean, tidy, and considerate. I hope housemates will feel at home and use the house to enjoy, yet people who are loud or interested in having frequent parties would not work. If housemates smoke thats ok, but please only smoking in the garden.

We have a cleaner who cleans the whole house including bedrooms (if you wish), this is included in the rent

ABOUT ME AND OSSIE
I am a friendly and honest person; I enjoy being sociable and also value time alone. I am really busy studying at the moment (psychology PHD) and work as a therapist; therefore I often go to bed early through the week. On a weekend I might go out, or have a few glasses of wine at home. I enjoy live music, reading, films, nature, yoga, board games, cooking, and travelling and culture.

Ossie, from Argentina, is friendly and kind and has worked as a Fabric Cutter and Art Worker since moving to the UK. He is a quiet and respectable housemate, on a weekend he often stays in with a beer or two, and will enjoy a chat when in communal areas. Ossie’s interests are music (he has a great record collection!), art and crafts, upcycling, films, football, culture and travelling.

LOCATION
The house is in a quiet street with on-road parking. Idle, a nice village with shops, cafes, takeaways and pubs, is a 10-minute walk. There is a huge Morrisons 5 minutes’ walk away, and the local shop is just a minute's walk. The bus stop to Bradford centre is close by and the journey takes about 15 minutes. The 60 bus stop to Leeds centre is a 15 minutes’ walk. Apperley Bridge train station is a 5 minute drive, and there are some lovely walks by the canal there too.

On a final note…I have a lovely older cat called Roxie, she is quiet, clean, and friendly.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask 😊
