Sunny double room in quiet, sporty, arty house

Lovely double room available in house shared with the homeowner.

The room is upstairs, at the back of the house so very quiet and private, with a nice view over the garden. It faces south-west so gets the afternoon sun and is a bright and cheerful space. The walls and ceiling and woodwork are painted white. There are long, blue, black-out curtains allowing for a good night’s sleep.

As to furnishing, there is a king sized bed with solid oak frame. Mattress new in 2025. Additional furniture includes: Pine chest of drawers; white IKEA cube-space unit; large gilt mirror; fold-away table and fold-away chair. There are hooks on the back of the door.

One double plug socket with additional 4xUSB fittings.

Shared spaces include kitchen (with all usual amenities, washer-dryer, dishwasher), bathroom (tiny bath and over-bath shower), sitting room and garden.

There is a driveway but I will park my van here - but plenty of space to park roadside nearby.

Convenient location. It takes me 20 minutes to walk to the harbourside (7 mins to cycle); 25 minutes to walk to the centre of town (10 mins to cycle). There is a shop (the Co-op) at the bottom of the road.

Bills include gas/electric, council tax, water/sewerage, broadband and TV licence. Bills are included but subject to a reasonable cap.

I am an ex-lawyer and currently work as a delivery driver. I have done many jobs including author, ranch-girl and climbing instructor. A keen rock climber, I have travelled all over the UK, Europe and worldwide on climbing trips. Also run and bodyboard, for fun.

The house is a calm, quiet retreat. There is original artwork on display throughout. It is important to keep the house clean and tidy.

I am looking for a housemate who is clean and tidy, can clear up after themselves and is quiet and considerate. This is, potentially, a long term let for the right person. Suitable for someone saving up to buy their own home etc.
