Friendly family style house share

We are a group of five professionals . It sounds cliche but we really are like a little family and spend a lot of time together. Over time we have built up a pretty impressive board game collection and also have quite a lot of sporting equipment (badminton, rounders etc) that we play with at the park just across the road from us. It’s very often that we inspire each other’s hobbies, we often spend a lot of time in the garden together and when the weather is more bleak we have crafted/sewed together. We’ve also got a pole fitness pole and pull up bar installed in the house as Jess and I are big climbing/aerial hoop nerds! At the weekends we also like to have a drink and a bit of a dance together sometimes and even held a house beer pong tournament.

We are a very animal friendly household and have a golden retriever called Kepler. Kepler is paws down the most loving and kind dog you could ever wish to meet and Alex has a gorgeous ragdoll cat called Blobby and Josh and Jahla have a black cat called Doja.

The house itself is really spacious and very well looked after. There is a pretty huge open plan kitchen/lounge/diner as well as a separate lounge and a playroom downstairs (though we often use the playroom for evening chill outs as it has the comfiest sofa). All the rooms have thick walls and fire doors as it’s an old house so sound really doesn’t transfer from room to room which is a bonus.

The house is really well equipped. Each of the three communal living spaces is equipped with a smart tv, along with various game consoles for everyone to use. We are all quite big foodies so the kitchen is equipped to a level that would make Gordon Ramsey excited. Being quite nerdy we’ve kitted the house out with a lot of cool gadgets, all of the communal spaces have Phillips hue colour bulbs, including in the garden, which is great for using the garden in the evening. The three main doors into the house and garden are fitted with smart locks so convenient and very secure (Kepler would make a terrible guard dog after all).

The bedroom we have available is a big double with a wardrobe, chest of drawers and a big desk. but we are also open to sourcing anything else you might need. It’s also decorated to a high standard. Saying that, it’s important to us that people feel at home while they are here so we are very open to making adjustments to make the place feel more like your own.

The room has use of its own modern bathroom (situated downstairs)

To the back of the house there is a big garden which leads to purpose built bike storage that runs down the side of the house. The garden is also host to a fire pit, hot tub, vegetable garden, greenhouse, outdoor kitchen, zip line and trampoline.

A slightly unusual thing about our lovely household is that we 3yo son (Arthur) and a 10 month old daughter (Elodie). We have made adaptions so that we all have enough space to live our own lives. Firstly, jess and I and our children have our own floor in the house, from which we can’t hear anything from the communal spaces (even the housemate’s late night karaoke fests). Because we have our own collection of rooms, the communal areas of the house are kept as adult spaces, in which you’re free to do anything you’d do in any other house. We are very relaxed parents so we don’t have any “house rules” that wouldn’t be there if we did t have children and everyone is very much welcome to have guests as they wish, we’ve recently had two birthdays in the house and both were celebrated by two very fun parties. Arthur and Elodie are very social and chilled kids, we soundproofed our rooms before Arthur was born, preparing for the worst, but they both sleep through the night and even when newborns and more unsettled, the other housemates assured us they were never disturbed. I know I’m biased but they are incredibly sweet and we all dote on them in the house, I think we all enjoy a cuddle after a stressful day sometimes.

The rent includes all bills; electric, gas, water, contents insurance (we have a special policy that covers everyone in the house), internet, streaming services, council tax.

We will consider certain pets.
