Family looking for a lodger to join them

Hello, we are looking for a friendly lodger to join our home near Paddock Wood. We are based in between two lovely villages with shop, pubs, post office and butchers.

The bedroom, the only one the top floor (so you have lots of privacy), is large, with a double bed, and a wardrobe, and has a lovely view. It's a bright, airy room with space for a desk, chest of drawers and a comfy reading chair. It has its own shower room/toilet. We would share the kitchen, although you have a mini kitchenette upstairs by your bedroom.

We have two young children, plus a dog, cats and chickens, and more pets coming next year! We have a large and varied garden including a productive vegetable garden, and woodland and small orchard.

We try to live in a sustainable way - we are pretty much off grid, using solar panels for energy, and air source heat pumps for hot water and heating. We recycle and reuse as much as possible. We love eating good, healthy food, and grow as much of our own as possible.

Ideally, you will enjoy being in a rural setting, have a car or motorbike (there's no public transport), and enjoy the company of young children and pets. We look for someone with good humour, respect and kindness, who is up for mucking in around the house and take part in family life, but equally happy to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside.
