Description

We’re a laid back and drama-free couple, both in our thirties, liberal, atheist, food and drink enthusiasts (meat eaters), and we are looking for a tenant to occupy a large double bedroom in our Victorian terrace in Easton, along with us and our 2 cats, Gary and Waffles. Sorry, no couples, pets or smokers.



We're looking for a friendly and easy-going housemate who doesn’t mind living in a house that is still something of a work in progress. Ideally we're hoping to find someone who is relatively independent and happy in their own company, but also willing to share the odd meal/pint. Gender is unimportant but someone who is respectful, tidy and kind to cats is essential.



The room is very large, clean and bright, with a lovely big bay window that overlooks Fox park, plus an additional smaller window, so it gets lots of natural light and feels very bright and airy. It is furnished but there is some space to accommodate your own furniture as well if necessary.



The house is less than 5 minutes walk from Stapleton Road train station, you can walk to Cabot Circus in about 20 minutes and access to the M32 is minutes away. There are no parking restrictions and it is usually pretty easy to find a space. St Mark’s Road is a 5 minute walk away, where you can lots of nice independent shops / restaurants.



The main bathroom is newly renovated. It has a very large shower and a roll top bath, along with toilet and basin. We’re planning some more improvements here later in the year. You'll have pretty much exclusive use of this room because we have a separate en-suite.



The kitchen is very well equipped with a huge range cooker, American style fridge/freezer (with plumbed ice machine), washing machine, microwave, kettle etc. The living room was completely renovated a couple of years ago and is super cosy. It has a big bay window, log burner, restored wooden floors and 2 comfy sofas.



There is a back garden. It’s a bit neglected, but we’re planning on tackling it this summer. There is already a slightly patchy lawn, a picnic table and we have a gas BBQ that gets lots of action in summer.



Some more about us: Dan is a programmer who works from home. Kim works for a sexual health charity. We’re straightforward people. Pro-science (e. g. vaccinations are good, homeopathy is silly). We like DIY, movies, booze, comedy, holidays and barbecues. Cooking, eating and drinking are our main hobbies.



We are private live-in landlords, so there’s no agency fees but £500 deposit will be required. Rent of £500 pcm includes council tax, water, electricity, gas, TV license and fibre broadband. There’s no particular minimum/maximum contract, but we are hoping to find someone who will want to stay for a while.



Please contact us if you're interested, and we can show you around and have a chat. And please do tell us a little bit about yourself - we know it’s embarrassing, but it’s really important to us that we live with someone who’s a good fit :)
