Large double room in central Stroud

Large double room to rent in one of the oldest houses in town. Old Stroud is a lovely area very close to the top of the High Street with its independent cafes and shops. It takes just over five minutes to walk to the train station; The Bisley House and Golden Fleece are very near, and you can be in countryside within 10 minutes’ walk in three directions.

We have a light, furnished double room to rent on the first floor of the house. The room has a bed, two cupboards, mirror, large desk and two chairs, and we can add or remove this furniture to suit you. There is also a large set of bookshelves – which have books on them in the photos but will be free for you to use. The house has central heating.

We are a family of two adults (an academic and a performer) and two children. You’d be sharing the bathroom (there are two bathrooms and a third toilet in the house) and would have some shared use of the kitchen, which is a in bright, modern extension. There is a large garden out the back. On street parking is available free in the area, though not always right outside.

We can put a kettle, microwave and minifridge in the room if you’d like. We enjoy cooking and tasty food, and we’re happy to consider teaming up on meals a few times a week if that’s of interest.

We both work from home, so would prefer a lodger who doesn’t work from home.

We are a neurodiverse family. When the children are around (before and after school, weekends and holidays) things can be noisy – loud playing, shouting, outbursts and waking up in the night. So the room would suit someone who’ll be unphased by such things.

The washing machine is downstairs and shared with us. We have a TV license and broadband throughout the house, and the relevant insurance to have lodgers.

£750 including all bills (Council tax Band D). No pets please or smoking.
