INCLUDING MOST BILLS & COUNCIL TAX, A BEAUTIFUL ENSUITE BEDROOM
Looking for a housemate for shared house with garden and limited parking. Ive done up the house from top to bottom and tho some still to do, its a really lovely and comfortable house, full of books.
I have one finished double ensuite bedroom available; the "green room" has an ensuite with shower, basin and toilet, newly fitted and bedroom recently decorated and cleaned.
The room has a polished oak floor, bedside rugs, overlooking garden and trees to the East. This bedroom has a kingsize bed with good mattress and two mattress protectors, desk, chest of drawers, hanging rail and rocking chair.
Downstairs, there is a large shared living room, small dining room, utility (with toilet, sink, washing machine and tumble dryer) and kitchen for all housemates to share. The sitting room is particularly nice, with comfy sofas and woodburning stove. The kitchen has a separate fridge for housemates, a cooker, double sink and multi-use microwave). Renovating from scratch has been hard work, but the result is a cosy, comfortable & bookish home. It is important to me that it is kept well (with a weekly joint cleaning rota to keep it as it is now) and that we are all "environmentally conscious"- careful with resources and energy. The boiler, for example, is on a timer for morning & evening seasonally and not on the rest of the time.
After two lodgers recently trashed my home, Im very particular that the whole house is kept in good nick all of the time-I would like a peaceful life, and some interesting company but no slobs please...
We like music, comedy, art, wine, books, politics, films and the countryside.
Partners and friends are welcome to visit occasionally as long as I am kept informed, but NOT do laundry, be in the house when the housemate is out, nor stay for extended periods. I am happy for either lodger to put a tv in their rooms so that the shared living room is not overwhelmed.
The front garden is for all house; it is gated/hedged off the drive, while the back garden contains my workshop and is private. The front garden is a shared resource and calls for a small amount of shared care.
There is parking for two cars on private drive, plus a grass verge in front for extras as necessary- I would like to be able to keep my own car on the drive some of the time.
Bills, such as water, electricity, oil, tv license and council tax (except firewood and broadband) are included up to a generous point based on previous usage and up to a certain ceiling( to be discussed at point of lodger contract): I would expect electricity and water use to stay at a reasonable level, based on past usage.
The village has a pub and a fish and chip van on Fridays ( very good). Diss and Tesco, train, shops etc, are about ten/fifteen mins away; North Lopham is a good "jumping spot" for all of Norfolk and Suffolk, but is quiet and safe, and the neighbours are decent and respectful ( so I try to be the same back).
I value privacy highly, and will respect yours as I expect mine to be respected, but will need to check your rooms every few weeks to check they are in good order (by appointment); this is because I had a lodger who caused considerable damage to her room and its contents, and I obviously don't want that to happen again.
I am fair, openminded and kind, but haven't much patience with greedy, lazy, types: this is a lovely place to live for people who need it, and can put a little time into keeping it that way. Im always busy but would like to make new friends too.
I think that an initial two or three month trial period/contract would be in all interests to make sure living together is a good fit.
