Short term/flexible accommodation Whalley Range

Hi, I'm a landscape architect with a 3 bed Edwardian house on a quiet, leafy road in Whalley Range where I live with my 18 year old son and two cats.

I’ve rented my double attic room on and off for the last 10 years, mainly for short term lets with my longest lodger staying 2 years. I’ve done theatre digs, had students on placements and people newly arrived in Manchester wanting a base whilst they get to know the city and finding a longer term rental or people between moves. Monday-Friday lets are also a possibility. For the right fit though I’d consider someone longer term.

The room is bright with good storage, a built in desk and sofa. There’s an aerial point for a freeview tv connection and there is a wifi booster on the first floor so the signal is pretty good.

The bathroom is shared but I like to keep it clean and tidy and there's also an extra toilet downstairs. The dining room where I currently wfh is next to the kitchen and leads out into a small yard garden. At the front of the house is the lounge with the tv.

On street parking is available and there are usually spaces right next to the house. I don’t have room for cycle storage in the house but potentially in the rear yard. The 86 bus route is 4 minutes walk away with Firswood tram stop being the closest at 20 minutes walk.

The room would suit someone who is easy going, happy to live in a family household but who enjoys their own space. I like cooking and have a well equipped kitchen. It’s nice to share the occasional meal with my tenants but more than happy if you just prefer to do your own thing. I’d rather not have anyone who wfh full time - I enjoy passing the time of day with someone but prefer the house to myself for most of the week and to relax on my own at the end of the day. Some weekends and weekdays I may be staying at my partner’s house and occasionally they stay here. My son’s dad and partner live local and often call in or occasionally spend time here with our son when I’m not around.

All bills are included and I have a cleaner that comes once a week. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
