1 double bedroom available in spacious house

One double room is available, in a quiet tranquil location. Very suitable for postgraduate students studying at Queen Margaret University.

Move in date from the 20th of February 2026. Preferably long term with a minimum stay of 3 months.

I prefer a lodger, who will make the house their home and treat it as such and take care of it. A longer term stay for a minimum of 1 year is preferred. The room is available now from the 20th of February. A three months notice period is required. A signed contract will be in place . Reference/s please.

You can see a short video of the house but it will not contain all rooms. The uploaded photos show the double room. We can arrange an appointment by WhatsApp to discuss arrangements. I prefer to be initially contacted by email since I am not always available by phone.

The house is furnished. The rental is £600. The monthly consumption of electricity & gas bills, registered in my name, will be in addition. A television licence will have to be taken out by you if you wish to watch television or use online platforms that require a licence. No additional bills like council tax are due. Wi-Fi is provided.

This is a quiet location and peaceful house to live in. Parking is available in the street and there is space for one car on the drive. There is a park to look onto. Great walks in nature and along the river Esk or the sea . A gym is very close by as well as many restaurants or takeaways. Walks along the sea shore are beautiful. Portobello is a few bus stops away. The local park in warmer months is pretty and peaceful to sit in.

The double room has an inbuilt wardrobe with few shelves. The room has a double bed, chest of drawers , towel holder ,table & light , chair and clothing holder.

The kitchen has a table/sitting area and the house is bright throughout. The conservatory may be used. The bathroom has a bath/shower. Kitchen facilities include the use of a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is a kettle, microwave and toaster available. The front and back gardens are available for use and require joint upkeep.

Many buses go frequently to the city centre and include 2 bus routes with bus numbers 26 /44 three minutes walk away. The journey to the city centre takes approximately 45 minutes. Other bus numbers are 111 between Haddington and Edinburgh Royal Infirmary; 113 between Western General and Pencaitland and 104 between West End and Haddington. There are bus numbers 46/48/140/141 ( 5 minutes walk through a small park) . All stops are relatively near to the house. The train from Wallyford or Musselburgh go to Waverly Station and this takes about 12 minutes.

I am a professional and work partly at home. There are periods when I am away.

Thank you for considering this to be a home for you. Please email me a little about yourself as it is important for me to know who I may live with. I prefer lodgers who have a regular settled job and income or are postgraduate students who have their studies mapped out. I also prefer lodgers who will respectfully care for the house as if it is their own. The house has to be kept clean and cared for in all aspects.

Reference/s are required. Please provide this when meeting . While I love animals, I am very sorry that pets are not welcome nor are smokers.
