Large double, lovely house, central Chelmsford

I have a large, bright, double bedroom available, measuring around 3.8 by 3.3 meters (12.5 sq meters), in a lovely house in a pleasant quiet location. It has a new double glazed sliding sash window, black out curtains, bureau desk/bookcase/chest of drawers, wardrobe/shelving, additional small built in wardrobe/storage and newish comfortable double mattress.

My current lodger of 1.5 years is moving out at the end of November.

I’m a 33 year old straight male, ‘live in landlord’. It’s a three bedroom house but there is only one room being rented out so you’ll have the house to yourself when I’m not around, except for a very good natured cat. Pet owners beware he loves humans but has absolutely zero tolerance for other male cats (in particular) in his territory 😅. I wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to other good natured pets but it’d have to be considered very cautiously.

The room can be furnished as above, or unfurnished if you have your own.
You have use of the kitchen, dining room, lounge, bathroom and garden. I ask that you treat the house with care, are prepared to partake in cleaning and are willing to feed/water the cat from time to time when you’re home and I’m away on trips/visiting family etc.

I’m partial to a bit of diy and occasionally have home improvement projects on the go in and around the property for short periods such as decorating and minor renovations, which although never too disruptive may require some understanding/patience at times.

This is for single occupancy only but you’re welcome to have respectful guests over once or twice a week while you’re present- you can expect the same from me.

Bills and WiFi included in rent at £795 per month.

The house would suit a very clean and tidy mature ‘working professional’ who’s calm, easy to get along with, and is looking for a fairly chilled homely place, not a super social/party house type vibe- I really value my sleep and headspace :)

It’s important to me that I’m around people who lead a healthy active lifestyle, generally eat fairly healthily and don’t drink excessively or smoke.

I’m always up for a chat and a bit of banter and socialising sometimes but I also enjoy my own space. I often work from my home office although spend much of my time out and about.

I’ve had this property for six or so years and have always rented out a room, before which I lived in various shared houses for many years so I’m very used to it

It’s a 15 min walk to Chelmsford City centre and station (off-road through Central Park) or five min cycle the same route. It can be quicker to cycle this way than drive across town. From there it’s a 35 min train into Liverpool Street London.
There is a bus stop a few mins walk away. Corner shop two min walk, Tesco express five min walk and various big supermarkets a two min drive.

Parking available out the front of the house (very quiet dead end road) for around £25 per year resident permit.
