Description

MAX 3 MONTH LET. Fully inclusive of all bills this lovely sunny large double bedroom has plenty of space. There is a built in wardrobe with light inside and a large chest of drawers for clothes, storage. The floor is laminate.

The lounge has a sofa, dining table and chairs and a door leading out into the garden. The garden is small but south facing so gets lots of sun. The broadband is Vodaphone FibreOptic and works well in the garden, so if you do work from home and fancy sitting in the sun to work you can (if we have sun that is).

The kitchen is new and fully equipped with gas oven and hob, an American fridge/freezer (so plenty of shelves each!), toaster and all general equipment (pots, pans plates etc). There is a separate utility area that houses a washing machine (with lots of economy settings) and a tumble dryer if clothes can't be dried outside. The house has a new combination boiler for constant hot water and efficient central heating. The house also has new double glazing throughout.

All bills are included and there is high speed fibre optic broadband (Vodaphone). .

The house is a Victorian terrace property that has been updated and renovated. Due to restrictions by the council there is no availability of parking permits, so it is not suitable for someone that needs a car at the house. Visitors have 2 hours of free parking per visit.

The house has ideal access to the town centre, Royal Berkshire Hospital and university campus (London Rd & Whiteknights). The Oracle centre/Riverside with the 11 screen Vue cinema and extensive range of restaurants, shops cafes etc is a 3-4 minute walk (depending how fast you walk). There is a Tesco-local 2 minutes away and the bus stop for Whiteknights campus are also located there. Walking to Reading station takes 15 mins. Whiteknights campus is a 20 min walk (sports hall corner). London Road campus is 5 minute walk and RBH 10 mins.

The house would have just me and whoever may lodge here. My bedroom has it’s own bathroom so even though the room for rent does not an ensuite with the bedroom, it does have exclusive use of it's own bathroom. This is a short term let because house is just about to go on the market so for anyone needing temporary accommodation it is ideal. Generally it takes 5-6 months for the selling/buying process to go through.

I have always had a lodger but the selling has meant the person who was here have found somewhere more permanent. I have always kept the home environment quiet and do the socialising outside of the house and I am looking to find someone who feels the same way. It keeps the house a nice safe space for relaxing and living.

Looking to find a pleasant, considerate, articulate person. It is important that the concept of cleaning and taking care of things is on your radar, sinks left full of clutter just means others cannot wash up or prepare things, it's just about sensible use of shared spaces. And this really is a critical aspect now with the house potentially having viewings.

The bathroom for this bedroom is on the ground floor (the bedroom is on the first floor) and you have the bathroom to yourself. The bathroom has a full bath as well as shower.

Due to me sorting things for when the house sells, there is now one room downstairs that is empty - this provides extra space for yoga/pilates workout mats if that is useful!

So, if you are looking for pleasant and comfortable central accommodation in the short term, this may be for you. Please do bear in mind there may be viewings at the house - but you would always have advance notice of these, they would never be without your knowledge.

This is a private let so please, no calls from agents :)

NB Where possible please make first contact via email and if you do not have a profile providing information, please explain something about yourself/situation in the email. Thank you.
