Single OR Double Room near Park Gate

A single lodger required for a double OR small single room in bright and modern 4 bed semi-detached house, sharing with 65 year old bloke. Full use of lounge, kitchen, conservatory and garden, single space to park on drive (no vans, diggers, tractors etc!), it may be possible to stash a bicycle in the garage. Tenant has almost exclusive use of a modern tiled bathroom with separate bath and shower - 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 a kebab van. Easy access to Fareham, Portsmouth and Southampton, only a twelve minute walk to Swanwick Station, 5 min drive to M27, 20 min cycle to Whiteley shopping Centre, Segensworth also easy walking distance.

The rooms are available on a weekday only or a full time basis and rent would be between £450 and £650 per month (some scope for negotiation for the right candidate!) including bills. Deposit is one month’s rent. Note; I’d prefer to rent the double room if 7 days a week. I’m looking for a clean and tidy (no dishwasher so you wash your stuff up after a meal) professional. Hopefully you will have a normal 9 - 5'ish, 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!)

Room available fairly immediately subject to references and you not having a criminal record or any other skeletons in yer closet. You supply your own bedding.

The double room is not the biggest on the planet but has lots of storage, the single room is small but there is unlimited use of living room etc ie I view the arrangement as a sort-of house-share even though I'm the 'boss' ha ha. I will arrange my cooking times around you (within reason) to avoid a kitchen queue.

Smokers considered but outside only please!
