Lodger wanted for smart double room

Lodger wanted for room in a newly restored house on Queen’s Park road. I've had a couple of great lodgers but the most recent one has moved to London. I am looking to get someone moved in in the middle of August but am flexible on dates.

The room on offer is on the front of the house and has a lovely bay window that gets great light in the morning. The room also has a fireplace (not useable) and a small built in wardrobe. The room has a double bed and matress, chest of drawers, small desk, and mirror, I have a tv you can use if you’d like, or the room can be unfurnished if you'd prefer. Not quite an en-suite, but immediately outside the room is a very clean toilet and shower room.

A minute’s walk is Queens Park itself which very nice with a duck pond and lots of greenery, or 5 minutes in the other direction is the Level and London Road or Lewes Road with plenty of shops. It’s ten minutes walk to the beach.

I am looking for a lodger, not a housemate or tenant, so please make sure you know the difference and are comfortable with that. The areas available to you are the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, and the garden too, although it requires some work. All bills are included. My girlfriend is regularly around too.

I’m 33, work in construction so get up early and sometimes work night shifts, I’m not up for a party environment anymore so am looking for someone with a similar mindset who is quiet, clean and respectful. My previous lodger was a masters student who kept herself to herself mostly, which suited both of us fine. I'm sure she wouldn't mind chatting with you by way of a reference after the preliminary stages of meeting if you liked.

A cleaner will visit the house once a week and clean your room every fortnight.

If you’re interested please provide some info about yourself so I can make an informed decision, cheers.
