Description

This is a lovely, south-facing double study room in 1950s house in Fishponds. I would like to offer my spare room to someone who needs it - full or part time considered, with pro-rata reduction if part-time.

The room, house, garden and locality are all great. The house is a minute's walk from (and backs onto) Oldbury Court estate/ Vassals park. There's a sizeable garden, a conservatory, kitchen-diner, sitting room, bathroom/shower/toilet, and a second toilet downstairs. There would be access to most of the house and garden, by mutual arrangement.

There is a TV licence; internet; a small personal fridge, shared freezer, washing machine, induction-hob cooker and microwave. The bathroom has a bath with shower over, toilet and basin. There is central heating and double glazing throughout and the house is cosy.

The house is a small '50's semi, but the room is a good size and has a double bed, cupboard/wardrobe space, chest of drawers, bedside cabinet, desk and chair. Bedding can be provided.

General cleaning is done by me but you would be responsible for your room and for keeping shared areas as clean and tidy as you find them.

I am semi-retired and work largely from home. I do have guests and visitors from time to time as well as zoom and other calls, and the occasional musical soiree (I'm a uke-player). I'm friendly and hope to get on well with my lodger, but in truth I'm looking for someone independent and self-sufficient.

There is free on-street parking available, (with off-street space for a very small car) and good transport links just a short walk away. The Bristol-Bath cycle path is within 3 mins' ride of the house, as is the Frome valley walkway, a beautiful alternative route into town for non-car-users. For drivers, it's close to main roads into and out of the city.

Less than 5 mins' walk away is Fishponds centre, with a Co-Op, Sainsbury, Superdrug, Lidl, Aldi and Morrisons, as well as a wholefood shop, Turkish speciality shop, Post Office, charity shops, great restaurants and cafes, pubs and much more.

The house backs onto Oldbury Court estate, with lovely walks up and down the Frome Valley and across to Frenchay and Stapleton.

If it sounds like your cup of tea, please get in touch to arrange a visit. Viewings not available between 3rd and 10th June. The room is available from 1st or 15th June, or by arrangement.
