Bedroom, Office & Private Bathroom in Garswood

Two double rooms (for sole occupancy at £650 total) available in a large modern detached house in Garswood/Ashton-in-Makerfield. Ideal for a professional looking for a peaceful, well-connected home.

About the property: Spacious 4-year-old, 4-bedroom detached house in a secluded idyllic plot on the edge of Garswood village. Overlooks fields and a small brook, offering a tranquil setting. Super quiet at night—fall asleep to the sound of owls hooting and water trickling in the brook. A short two-minute walk to Brocstedes Park and nearby countryside footpaths.

Transport and location: Just a mile from Bryn and Garswood train stations, with excellent connections to Liverpool, Manchester, Edinburgh, London, and more via Wigan North Western railway station. Only a 7-minute drive to junctions 24 and 25 of the M6. Passing bus services with direct routes to Warrington, St Helens, Newton-le-Willows, and beyond.

About the rooms: Two double rooms, partially furnished with a bed, dresser, desk, sofa, blinds, and carpets. Exclusive access to a mostly private bathroom—only shared with occasional overnight guests approximately once a month, with a downstairs toilet available for daytime guests. Tenant also has access to a separate living room, a kitchen-living-diner (two living spaces in total), outdoor terrace, fixed 5-seat hot-tub, (one of three) private driveway parking spaces, and shared access to a fast electric vehicle charger.

Utilities and amenities: All bills included (fair usage), except a supplement for frequent EV charging. High-speed 1Gbps Virgin Fibre line with whole-home MESH WiFi. TV license and antenna connection points in both rooms. Council tax band D covered in rent. Fortnightly professional cleaning service covering shared spaces and rented rooms, provided they are kept tidy.

About the household: Only one other resident—the landlord, a professional academic working at a local university and an amateur rugby union player. Active lifestyle, in and out frequently for work, socializing, gym, and rugby. Lives with Ted, a friendly 5-year-old Black Labrador who loves welcoming guests. Clean and tidy home, hoovered daily and sofa throws changed weekly. Looking for a tenant who naturally keeps spaces clean and tidy. Smoking is fine, but strictly outdoors.

Hoping to find a professional tenant, ideally with some shared interests, but this is not mandatory. Previous housemates have become great friends and would love to recreate that dynamic.

Furniture note: Some furniture, such as TV, computer screen, and clothing rails, belongs to the current tenant and will be moved, removed or replaced upon move-in. Actual room setup can be shown during viewings.
