About the Landlord. Working life spent in aerospace, defence, and in the space industry, reaching director level. Keen yachtsman. Recently completed long sailing journeys to the Mediterranean and the Baltic Sea. Landlord has two adult daughters who have flown the the nest, but occasionally visit. (Why I'm only renting two rooms, third kept free).

Summary notes:

a) Rents are fixed to 31st December 2026.

b) Having a SpareRoom profile with a picture is preferred.

c) Landlord has 7 years years experience of male and female lodgers previously. Females are preferred. While male applicants may apply, I will say that I have had some problems with some male lodgers previously and sadly not keen to repeat this, particularly with regard to hygiene, cleanliness and care of my property. This a home and not a House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO). Lodgers rooms are bedrooms and not bedsits.

d) Lodgers expected to keep their rooms clean and tidy. All bedrooms have small sliding bolt locks for privacy.

e) This is a Lodging / Licensee arrangement with a live in Landlord. Everyone is expected to be clean, sociable and to help in keeping our shared areas of the house clean and tidy (very light duties!). Seeking only those who seek a quiet friendly environment and who are respectful of others.

f) Landlord is occasionally away travelling or sailing.

Please message through SpareRoom or with phone number. Will respond within 12 hours.

Kind Regards and thanks for reading this description, Stuart
