Double room in Newhaven - balcony and dog included

THE ROOM & COSTS
The room is a very spacious double bedroom. It is furnished with a double bed and bedside table, as well as a built-in wardrobe and cupboard with shelves.

The rent is £637.50 per month, per person, payable on the 1st of each month. No bills are included in the rent.
Bills, per person, are approximately:

Utilities: £25–£30 per month
Internet: £12 per month
Council tax: Band B — currently £74 per month, paid by 12-month direct debit (rather than the usual April–January schedule).

The deposit is £637.50 (one month’s rent).

The room is already vacant, ready to move in to. The current lease runs until 21st September and is expected to continue after that.

THE FLAT & LOCATION
The flat is a 2-story, 2-bedroom property with a street-level entrance one floor down. Both bedrooms and the shared bathroom are upstairs, while the living room, kitchen, and balcony are downstairs. The flat gets a lot of natural light, and the large balcony has a view of the water, with the Forth Bridges visible in the distance — perfect for relaxing after work.

The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances including a fridge/freezer, oven, cooker, and washing machine. Everything in the communal areas, including my small appliances and kitchenware, is available for you to use.

The flat is on the edge of Newhaven and Trinity, adjacent to the waterfront. Transport is extremely convenient: direct bus links to the city centre and the airport are less than 2 minutes away, and the Newhaven tram stop is about 10 minutes’ walk. For shopping, there’s a large Asda about 10 minutes away. There are also a few local pubs and a friendly independent coffee shop within walking distance, and free on-street parking is available nearby.

ABOUT ME
You’d be living with me — 35, male, working full-time, and my friendly, well-behaved dog 🐾. I’m pretty easygoing: I enjoy socialising over a drink, a meal or even just a doorway chat, but I also value quiet evenings at home. The flat has a relaxed, grown-up vibe — friendly, comfortable, and clean without being obsessive.

ABOUT YOU
The main thing is a good lifestyle fit and someone who’s happy living in a comfortable, homey space with a dog. I want the flat to feel like home for both of us — you’re welcome to make the space your own.

Unfortunately, the flat is not suitable for:
• smokers
• couples
• students (for council tax purposes)
• more pets (my dog is timid and anxious)

REFERENCE & TENANCY CHECKS
The tenancy will be managed through a letting agent, so a standard reference and credit check will be required. In some cases, a UK-based guarantor may also be needed. Let me know if you have any questions — it’s straightforward and just part of the process.

INTERESTED?
If this sounds like your kind of place, drop me a message telling me a bit about yourself — what you do, your routine, and when you’re looking to move. Viewings will be in person at a mutually convenient time.

Looking forward to hearing from you! 😊
