Unique 1 bedroom flat/lodger

Effectively looking for a lodger for an initial 6-month period.

Someone mature, clean, reliable and trustworthy that will treat the place like a home. You will be living with a couple that travel often. I work overseas in fintech and my partner works in the airline industry so for the vast majority of the time you will have the property to yourself. So the property is priced to reflect a lodging in a well maintained one bedroom flat. We’re both sociable with different interests usually revolving around the outdoors and activities.

The flat is set on the ground floor of a large semi-detached Edwardian house retaining its own original entrance hall, private driveway (owned by myself), front and rear gardens giving us a larger than average flat that feels more like a house. The room itself is a furnished bright airy double bedroom with French doors leading onto a private garden. During the summers there is a coal barbecue and you can pick your own apples to eat from the tree.

The flat is over by Ealing Common/West Acton and here is a summary of what is nearby:

-Ealing Broadway (Central line): Walkable but 10 minutes w train from W Acton or bus
-West Acton (Central line): 10 minute walk
-Ealing Common (Piccadilly and District line): 10 minutes
-Chiswick: One stop from Ealing common or 30 minutes using a bus that is a 1 minute walk from the flat.
-Gym: 10 minute walk (£20p/m with no contract)
-Local stores (local shops, Tesco metro ― 5 mins, Morrison’s ― 15 mins)
-Heathrow (40 minutes by train)
-Lots of restaurants and bars in Ealing Broadway and a few good local eats particularly near Churchfield Road.
