Small Double in Eco/Diy House

Happy to take lodgers who are on placement or who want somewhere comfy and stable while they’re looking for somewhere else. If you’re new to Merseyside or heading to Liverpool for university and aren’t sure about where you want to go/what works best for you accommodation/travel wise then feel free to start here 🤗 I never tie anyone into lengthy contracts, I just run them on a rolling monthly basis so people have flexibility on staying/going

I’ve had lodgers on and off since 2012 and have also had quite a few bnb type guests since 2015, as far as I’m concerned if you’re happy here and are enjoying staying in my home and are paying your rent every month then I’m happy for you to stay as long as you need.

The room: overlooks the garden, has a double bed and two built in wardrobes, an office armchair (and space for a desk), a dresser and a shelving unit at the foot of the bed and blackout liners in the curtains.

Looking for people who have experience being a lodger (ie people who are respectful of my home and understand that they’re living in someone else’s home rather than sharing space equally with a fellow tenant - I’m not an ******* about it I just don’t want to come downstairs and try and use my living room and find my lodger has decided it’s their own personal wfh space and have them tell me I’m not welcome in there while they’re working!! This actually happened 🤯). I own my home outright, you’re not helping me pay off a mortgage, I don’t NEED a tenant/lodger, I have space to share and enjoy having good company around, having a chat with nice people, exploring local restaurants together etc. People who like cats are a must as three precious babies live with me. My ideal lodgers have always been self contained, sociable and competent. Some people who came expecting to stay for a month or two while looking for a place of their own have ended up staying for a year or two! 🥰

I’ve also had lots of short term lodgers on placements/doing residencies or taking short courses as part of their studies so am used to making people welcome and comfortable for a month or three while they complete those modules.

The cats:
Whisky is 17
Babushka is nearly 11
Monsieur Cuddles is nearly 2

I’m an environmentalist and am doing a lot of the renovations and all of the decorating myself 👷🏻‍♀️ I like to conserve water by flushing the toilet with old bath/shower water
I occasionally work as a supply teaching assistant 👩🏻‍🏫 but am a yoga teacher and Thai yoga massage therapist. I volunteer with a number of gardening projects in the local area 🧑‍🌾

Council tax is band B - included in the rent
