1 Double bedroom in west end

Hi there!

I’ve bought my 3 bedroom flat and had a contractor completely renovate my whole flat so everything in the flat is constructed with a higher quality finishing and I live in it.

I’m looking for a flatmate that is :
- neat and tidy (I’ve got a robot vacuum cleaner that vacuums up the flat twice a week to keep things clean but he is limited because he has no hands)
- sociable and friendly but not partying every night
- professional (NOT a student)
- open minded
- responsible
- Looking to rent a bedroom from 1st Sept 2024

I’m pretty chilled out, extroverted introvert so I like to socialise but also need to recharge my battery from time to time. In my spare time, I like to read, listen to music, go to gigs, walk in parks, play video games, yoga, hill walk and do my martial arts.

The flat has 3 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 kitchen and 1 bathroom.

DOUBLE BEDROOM AMENITIES:
- New large Double Glazed Windows and secondary window cover for noise and heat insulation and the window brings in a lot of natural light because the flat is south facing
- New efficient electric radiators
- Blackout blinds and curtains
- Desk and chair
- New beds and mattresses
- Bedside table
- IKEA PAX wardrobe with plenty of storage space
- Brand new carpets
- Mattress protectors for hygiene

LIVING ROOM AMENITIES:
- Large two new double glazed windows to insulate heat and noise
- Dimmer light switches that helps with movie nights
- Projector (for said movie or video games nights with new flatmates which is optional!)
- Extendable Dining table for when guests are over
- Dining chairs and bench
- 2 Lounging chairs to look outside at an old church and the botanical garden
- 3 person sofa

BATHROOM AMENITIES:
- Extended shower tray
- Toilet Bidet (no more repeat of the 2020 toilet paper shortage crisis!)
- Fan extractor (to make sure no mold grows and it can be turned on separately from the light so you don’t keep hearing the fan when you’re not taking a showe)
- Heated towel rack

KITCHEN AMENITIES:
- Full sized dishwasher
- Induction hob
- Electric grill
- Electric oven
- Extractor hood
- Fridge Freezer
- Integrated washing machine and dryer

- Kettle

PETS
I don’t have a cat right now but I’m thinking to get a hypoallergenic cat.

PRICE AND BILLS:
- Double room £730 pcm
- Council tax £264 in total pcm (if there are 3 professionals then it would be cheaper)

- Council tax band E
- No gas in the property

HILLHEAD AREA INFO
My flat is near Hillhead which has many independently owned pubs with nice ambience such as Hillhead book club and Oran Mor where they recently shot parts of the new movie Batgirl for. The restaurants nearby have Michelin stars, and the cafes are cute with nice vibes, coffee and they are all locally owned or run with the exception of Starbucks and Pret A Manger.

Weekend getaways to have brunch, lunch and night outs are a favourite for the locals who live within or outskirts of Glasgow thanks to rich variety of restaurant at your doorsteps.

Being next to the botanical garden and the university of Glasgow, Hillhead is a wonderful place to go for (short or long) walks if you appreciate nature or the old architecture of the university. The university library or Hillhead public library is very close so you can duck in for some quiet study space. During the summer, the closely located kelvin river walkway provides a tranquil area to walk and relax when the weather is nice.
