Fabulous double room in large friendly home

Newly available: a choice of 2 great double bedrooms in a lovely 5 bedroom home. Only one room is let out at a time.
The property is in the quiet residential area of Stoke Bishop in north west Bristol. The house is well set back from the road with its own private gardens.
We are looking for a single professional or a couple who wish to live independently but sociably within the comfort and security of a quiet home. We would like someone who is clean and tidy, happy to do their own thing or join in, but who doesn’t mind being around a "middle aged" (😂) couple with family and friends occasionally popping in. We’ve got 4 lovely pedigree cats and a beautiful golden retriever who live in the house with us so you absolutely must love animals.

About the house:
We now have a beautiful spare room as our 2 wonderful lodgers have now bought their own home. All previous tenants intending to stay for 6 months have stayed over 2 years! We have a choice of 2 double rooms. The larger room is £1250 pcm

They are newly decorated and newly furnished to a high standard, with a double size bed, small comfy chair and table/desk with chair. The rooms have plenty of storage (wardrobe, dressing table and stool, 2x chest of drawers and 2x bedside cabinet with drawers). Own TV in room.
The house has all the amenities you could want: a very large living room with comfortable leather sofas and TV and piano. Separate sitting room with TV and leather sofa to hang out with the pets. Separate fabulous orangery for relaxation. Separate formal dining room. Large fully fitted modern kitchen including sink, cooker, microwave, breakfast island with 4 high stools and a dishwasher. Utility room with sink and washing machine/dryer. Downstairs cloakroom. There is a lovely sunny front garden with bench seats and a large enclosed private rear garden laid mainly to lawn with a decking area and seating. The house also has 4 other bedrooms and a study used by us and occasionally family members. Tenants welcome to have guests to stay for a reasonable cost.
