Double room near Segensworth/Whiteley

Double room room available in bright and modern 4 bed semi-detached house, sharing with 65 year old semi-retired bloke working from home. The double room is not the biggest on the planet but has loads of storage. Full use of lounge, kitchen, conservatory and garden, parking for your vehicle on drive (no vans, diggers, tractors etc!). Tenant has almost exclusive use of a nice modern tiled bathroom with separate bath and shower - very very occasionally a guest may use it, there is also a downstairs cloakroom; I have my own en-suite. Free Wi-Fi. No Sky TV but full sporting facilities available in the form of a dartboard:-)

I’m near Park Gate and the Locks Heath shopping Centre, they have Post Offices, Co Op, Waitrose, popular pub (The Talisman), Indian and Chinese takeaways and restaurants and kebab van. Easy access to Fareham, Portsmouth and Southampton, only a twelve minute walk to Swanwick Station, 5 min drive to M27, 15 min cycle to Whiteley shopping Centre, Segensworth is also easy walking distance.

The room is available on a weekday only or full time basis and rent would be between £500 - 650 per month (some room for negotiation for the right candidate and if just weekday or full-time) including bills. I’m looking for an older, clean and tidy (no dishwasher so you wash your own stuff up after a meal) professional. I’d prefer you to have a normal’ish 9 - 5 Monday to Friday work pattern. I’m usually out three or more evenings a week to stave off cabin-fever. If you like scotch or the occasional trip to the pub that would be a bonus (but I’m not looking for a new Best Mate!). You supply your own bedding.

Room available immediately subject to references and you not having a criminal record or any other skeletons in your closet.

I view the arrangement as a house-share even though I'm the 'boss' (allegedly), I’m an old git so it’s not a ‘party’ or ‘fun’ house, I prefer a with a like-minded male or female who I can have a conversation with! I will arrange my cooking times around you (within reason) to avoid a kitchen queue.

Smokers considered but outside only please!
