Double bedroom in newly renovated terraced house

🛏️ The Room

A double bedroom is available to rent on the 1st floor of a newly renovated terraced house in the seaside area of Westcliff-on-Sea in Southend-on-Sea.

The rent is £550 per month including all bills (council tax, electricity, gas, broadband, and TV license). Single occupancy - no couples. The room is for women only as our dog is very nervous around men, so it is an all female household. Deposit is one month’s rent in advance. References required.

The room has a double bed, a chest of drawer, a bedside locker, clothing rail, full mirror, and a desk and office chair if you need to study or work from home. There is a communal bathroom on the 1st floor with an electric shower and a toilet downstairs off the kitchen.

The kitchen, on the ground floor, has a double sized electronic oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge freezer, washing machine, small dishwasher and storage space with cutlery and crockery for everyone to use. There is a nook at the back of the kitchen with a four seater kitchen table, small couch, smart TV and sideboard for extra storage, with double doors leading out to the garden and patio. Gas central heating in the upper floors and underfloor heating on the ground floor. The front living room is for communal use and has a two large sofas and a smart TV.

🏡 The House

There is a small garden at the back which gets lots of sunshine and has a washing line to hang out clothes to dry and a garden shed for extra storage of bicycles etc. There is free on street parking directly in front of the house, but it is a first come first served basis. Strictly no smoking or e-cigarettes/vaping inside or on the grounds of the house.

👥 Your Housemates

This is not a party house as it is a quiet residential area with families and retired people. The room would suit mature working professionals or postgraduate students studying at Masters or PhD level as the house is quiet during the day and has a chilled, relaxed vibe in the evenings and weekends. Everyone that lives here is respectful, kind, and we keep the house and shared spaces reasonable clean and tidy.

We have a little dog who is a 5-year-old female collie cross and she does not bother anyone in the house. She is vaccinated, wormed, spayed, and toilet trained and only barks if someone comes to the front door. Otherwise, she is quiet and well behaved but the house isn't big enough for other pets I'm afraid.
