Double room with ensuite

After a year and a half with our current lodger, she is moving back to Wales. From April 1st, we will have a double bedroom with an en-suite and single shower, in Dalkeith, a 6-8 minute walk away from the bus stop to the Edinburgh city centre (routes 48 &3) available to rent. Travel time to Princes Street ranges from 40-60mins depending on the time of day. 

We are a family of 3, My 16 and 13 year old children and I. We are looking to share our home with a single female student (preferred) or professional on a short or long term basis. International students are especially welcome, as we have hosted many students from other countries and I have both lived and enjoy travelling abroad.

Utility bills, wifi, council tax, a double bed, a study desk, a bedside table, a built-in wardrobe, and ensuite bathroom, as well as access to the kitchen, dining, living room, garden room and garage gym included for £700. Short lets considered at £195 a week. The security deposit is £400.

The house is large, modern, and spacious. It's close to amenities and located beside a large wooded area, connected to Newbattle Abbey and golf course; perfect for long walks should you wish. 

Space to park a car, access to a large chest freezer and a large garage for storage also available for bicycles.

We are looking for someone considerate, sociable, and tidy. You would need to be able to tolerate teenagers and like dogs. Both the dog and the kids are pretty decent most of the time. We would need you to have a good sense of humour and be someone who contributes to keeping the household clean and tidy. We make the majority of the mess, which I'll clean the majority of the time, but pitching in to tidy the shared living areas is expected. While it's certainly not a party house, it is not a particularly quiet house either. The kids are social, energetic, funny and generally well-mannered. We like to listen to music, potter around in the garden, goof around and occasionally have friends/family around, and we would hope that whoever joins us would feel free to do the same, and feel at home here.

Please note the picture of the bedroom is old. It iwill be updated shortly. It's a full double bed now and the room is freshly painted.
