Furnished double room in Victorian house, Knowle

We have a good sized and recently decorated double bedroom to rent in a Victorian house on a quiet residential street in Knowle. Move in dates can be flexible and agreed to suit both parties.

The room is a fresh and clean furnished double room on the first floor, with a double bed, wardrobe, desk, bedside tables and chest of drawers. We can provide bed linen and towels if required. We also have a cleaner who comes fortnightly.

The spacious house is a three-story Victorian terrace which we have been working hard to renovate to return some of the original features. On the ground floor there is a kitchen / breakfast room, dining room and living room (with log burner). The kitchen is newly renovated with lovely solid oak worktops, underfloor heating, high-quality appliances, a dishwasher, and plenty of storage.

There is a shared upstairs bathroom, and also a second bathroom in the cellar (useful for overspill!). The house also benefits from a converted cellar, which includes a utility room and a second living room with sofa-bed so you are welcome to use that as your living room if you prefer some privacy. There is space to store bikes, and we have a bike workshop with a comprehensive toolset if you need to maintain your bike. We will be doing more renovation works in the cellar to make improvements, but meanwhile it remains a functional space and keeps upstairs clear of laundry facilities.

The house benefits from a multi-room audio system, which you would have access to, along with free access to Spotify Premium.

Outside, we have a good-sized garden with seating area, fire pit, and BBQ. We also have a balcony overlooking the garden accessible from the kitchen, and a small terrace with a chiminea – so plenty of outside space to utilise.

We’ve recently had solar panels, batteries, and a heat pump installed at the house to help minimise our environmental footprint and to keep the house cosy and comfortable throughout the year.

Parking is on-street and there are no permits required. We rarely have to park far from the house.

We are a couple who both work full time. Nik works from home and Ali spends most working days in a city centre office. We are friendly, considerate and tidy couple who enjoy travel, getting outdoors, live music, food (we are pescatarian and are totally relaxed about the eating preferences of a lodger) and have a keen interest in the environment. We converted our campervan so are often away at weekends. We are looking for someone with a similar outlook, and we aim to make the home a comfortable, safe and relaxed space.

We have had a number of lodgers in the past, many of whom we remain good friends with. Most have stayed for long periods (several years) and have generally moved out due to changes in their circumstances – moving cities, moving in with partners etc.

The station and city are easily accessed on foot and bike, as they are about 1.5 and 2 miles away respectively. We also have great transport links into the city, Temple Meads station and also out to Bath with frequent buses in both directions just a 3-minute walk from the house. The M32 (motorway in to and out of Bristol centre) is a 10-minute drive away. The airport is a 20-minute drive. We are located outside of the Clean Air Zone.

The house is easy walking distance to Sandy Park Road and Wells Road, both of which have plenty of cafes, bars, gyms and local shops. The large supermarkets Tesco and Sainsburys are 7-minutes and 15-minute walk away respectively. There are also three parks within close walking distance, the nearest being Arnos Vale. The neighbourhood is friendly, and hilly! It is a suburban quiet area, and with a lovely local pub which serves good food and drink (and pub quizzes!) just a 5-minute walk away, and we are only a 10-minute walk from Miro Lounge at the Paintworks, where you can also get great food and drink.
