Double Room Available in Leith from 1st of August

Hi,

My name is Ellie and I am currently looking for a new flatmate to move into the flat by the 1st of August 2024, the flat is located in the lovely area of Leith (only 10 minutes walk to the shore with plenty of great bars/pubs & restaurants to try) with lots of amenities on your doorstep.

The flat itself - you will have your own spacious double room with views out to the garden (wardrobe, chest of drawers, desk & chair).. Just a couple of things in regard to the bedroom, it is right next to the kitchen so if you are a light sleeper then this isn't the right place for you. Also the window in the bedroom is going to be replaced, date of replacement TBC.

There is a very spacious shared sitting room, with a futon sofa bed which is ideal for when you have a friend or family member come to stay overnight. There is a small kitchen (fridge, oven, sink - it's all fully equipped although there is no microwave as there is very limited space), storage cupboard/room, small utility room with freezer and washing machine stored in there. We have a decent sized shared bathroom with shower over bath which is a good size, sink and toilet. If you have a bike there is also room to store your bicycle in the flat as my previous flatmate stored hers in the flat.

The flat is fully furnished and the current rent inclusive of all bills (gas, electric, CT, broadband, TV license etc) is £650 PCM it might be more in the winter months depending on gas/electric prices during winter and usage in the flat. If the occupancy is short-term the rent will be higher PCM (For anyone wanting to stay for just the month of August the rent will be £950 which includes all bills, otherwise if the short let is longer than that and it is between 1 - 3 months the rent is set at £850PCM).

I am looking for someone who is kind, considerate and generally easy going when it comes to sharing the flat, making sure you clean up after yourself, and help out with the cleaning in the communal areas (the current set up which works well is that it would just be cleaning the flat on alternate weeks).

A bit about me - I work at Edinburgh University Monday-Friday so I'll be out of the flat 5 days a week although on occasion I may work from the flat if I have an appointment or late night social event. (if you work from home, then this will be ideal for you as you'll have the place to yourself during the daytime), I also tend to go to the gym a few times a week after work.

When I'm not working I enjoy going for walks to the beach and other places around the city and beyond, going to cellidhs on occasion although it's been awhile since I attended one. Trying out different bars & restaurants. I enjoy going to events and cultural attractions, and when I need some R&R I love a good spa day, I also enjoy a good snooze to. I do like being sociable and happy to hangout, have a chinwag over food & drinks sometimes, or a movie night.

Ideally I am looking for a flatmate who enjoys doing some of these thing, although it's not a must. If this sounds like this place is the right fit for you then feel free to get in touch.

Please also include a bit about yourself, what you do, hobbies, likes, dislikes etc.

No Couples or students (sorry).

Photos of the flat and room will be uploaded soon.

Ellie.
