Professionals or VERY Mature Students Only!

We live in a quiet, traditionally renovated, Georgian house in a leafy suburb with lovely neighbours in the posh part of Aigburth (close to Sefton Park and Otterspool). This is a family home, but we have been welcoming lodgers for decades now, both here and when we lived in Kuwait.

I used to be a teacher and diving instructor, now returned from overseas, so have plenty of tales to share about sailing and diving in the Middle and Far East! My partner is still based there, but lodges with us when he's in the UK. We also have a labrador and chickens.

The garden is pretty amazing, as is the sheltered smoking lounge we have out there (no smoking inside). The kitchen is the social hub of this house... especially if you can cook. We like meat eaters with whom we can share the occasional meal (preferably Come Dine! style)!

We are 10 minutes walk from Sefton Park, and only three minutes walk from Otterspool Promenade and Park, which backs on to Sefton Park!

VERY Close to 82 and 500 bus routes (every 5 minutes and a 20 minute ride to town or the airport) and Aigburth station... (northern line trains every 15 minutes and it takes 10 minutes to town, 5 minutes to South Park BR interchange).

We have some very, very, very local shops and bar/restaurants around the corner! We're also only ten minutes walk to the supermarkets.

Our labrador is very well behaved, you'll fall in love with her, I promise! We also have chickens, so you might get a few very fresh eggs included! Oh, we also have an apiary, so we discourage folk with bee allergies!

Footnotes

- Since we still like to travel, our ideal lodger will double up as caretaker and chicken-sitter when we travel - thank you for that if and when it happens. 😎

- There is NO smoking in the house but we have a pretty awesome monsoon shelter for smoking, replete with armchairs and couch outside which is used more than the lounge!

- We have NO TV and prefer lodgers NOT to bring one. If you are dependant on mainstream propaganda, this is not the house for you.

- It is a house with character - so certain things need to be done a certain way, and it's better if you're a fast learner.

- We are looking for LONG term lodgers, minimum 6 months. If you want a short term boarding house then don't be surprised if I ask for short term rent!

- This is the largest room. It has bed, wardrobe, storage cupboard, drawers, shelving, desk and couch.

- We do have optional storage space for the bed if you wish to bring your own!

- Public transport to this area stops around midnight, so it's not ideal if you work in hospitality in the city centre.
