Room in a House (Available April 28th)

Hi,

My wife and I, our 4 year old and 4 month old Cockapoo dogs are looking to rent out a room in our house from around the 28th April 2024 to September, 2024. We are 29 and 34 respectively and both work in Financial Services with a mixture of home and office working (we have our own home offices in the house). Please note we have a newborn baby in the house. However your room is on a different floor and opposite side of the house so noise should be negligible.

Whenever we are free we like to exercise, read, watch tv/movies and take our dogs to all the parks. My wife is also vegan and loves to cook (obviously non-vegans are more than welcome to stay with us). The room is a double bed with underbed storage and a built in wardrobe. The photos are all of the house but some of the furniture has been replaced and the paintwork in the house has been refreshed.

Communal space are 2 bathrooms, a living room, kitchen and utility room, as well as a back garden with two decked areas and grass. There will be full access to all the amenities i. e. fridge/freezer, washing machine,

The house is located in Corstorphine which is about 3-4 miles away from the city centre. We are situated about a 12 minute walk to either Saughton Tram Stop or to a bus stop where the 12 (Leith), 26 (Portobello) and 31 (Edinburgh Uni) buses depart. Another bus stop for the airport bus (100) is also a 12 minute walk away and we are a 5 minute walk from the bus stop for 1 (Fountainpark). You can basically get into town door to door in about 30 minutes. We are also a 20 minute walk away from Edinburgh Zoo and a 30 minute walk from both the Gyle Shopping Centre and the Hermiston Gait Retail Park.

In the immediate area there are a tonne of amenities including extra large Tesco’s, newly built Lidl and a 24/7 gym (“The Gym”). There are also too many restaurants to count but include Chinese, Syrian, Indian, Thai, Italian as well as a Toby Carvery’s, a Weatherspoons and a Greene King.

The house has a driveway for parking with more free street parking available (neither my wife or I (or our dogs) have a car).

Rent includes all bills such as:
• Gas central heating and hot water
• Council Tax
• Electricity
• High speed wireless

We are looking for a considerate housemate to come and stay at the house that enjoys socialising but also enjoys their own personal space and is ideally suited to a mature student or a professional that would treat this place like their own home. Sorry no smokers.

We currently have 1 other lodger so if all goes well there will be 4 of us (and a 2 dogs) living in the house.

The house is always clean and tidy this includes your own rooms, so if you are clean, friendly and respectful you would love this house.

Please provide us with details of yourself and why you think you would be a suitable for the house.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Simon and Maria
