Single room in spacious 2-bed ground floor flat

Single room to rent in 2 bedroom, spacious, ground floor flat
Available straight away
Would suit professional or postgraduate student, late 20s/30s/40s
I am a professional but have been studying for a Masters degree this year.
Hulme/Old Trafford area of Manchester
Good bus links into city centre and south Manchester, can also walk into town (approx 30-40 mins).

Bedroom: single bed, wardrobe space, small chest of drawers, desk space
Bathroom with shower over bath
Kitchen with oven, hob, grill, microwave, washing machine, fridge & freezer
Open plan kitchen & living room
Bike: sorry no space for an additional bike (unless you are happy to lock it up outside).
Communal grassy area at the back of the property
Gated car park and on-street parking with permit

Pets: I foster rescue cats, so you would need to be somebody who is happy with cats coming and going at various points.
You would also need to look after them if I am away (arrangements would be made in advance if either or both of us are away).

Council tax: usually £170 pcm but I will confirm this e. g. if you are a postgrad student you may be exempt
Deposit: I ask for a £200 deposit and approx. £25 fee to cover the cost of a reference check.

Accessibility:
Ground floor flat, step-free access, wheelchair accessible inside the flat (slightly wider doorways & lower light switches), although entrance doors to the building are quite heavy so if in a wheelchair I imagine they'd be quite hard to open.

Manchester is a great place with something for everyone. Lots of museums, local history and places to visit. Nearby National Trust sites e. g. Tatton Park and Dunham Massey. Also accessible to the Peak District if you enjoy longer walks or hikes e. g. Mam Tor, Stanage Edge & Kinder Scout.

About me: I normally work as a physiotherapist in a hospital, but this year I have been doing a Masters degree in London (living in Manchester & commuting there for a few days at a time).
I'm quite chatty & friendly, I like to include people. I sometimes have friends around for meals and you are welcome to join :-)
I enjoy sports and the outdoors, although a bit limited just now due to a dodgy hip.
I like to try and keep my flat clean & tidy, but equally am pretty easy going if things aren't perfect.
I like coffee, travelling, food, films & documentaries, seeing friends, meeting new people.
I look forward to meeting you and seeing if you would like to live here!
