Description
The home's master double bedroom is available for a Sunday evening/Monday to Friday let. It is available now.
The room is fully furnished, finished to a high standard, includes all utility bills, internet and council tax, comprising:
- A very comfortable king-size bed with a memory foam-topped mattress.
- All bedding and towels provided and laundered weekly.
- The room will be professionally cleaned (vacuumed and dusted) each week.
- Bedside table with a drawer.
- Bedside lamp.
- Comfortable tub chair and footstool.
- Small desk and computer chair with power station and USB A and C charging ports.
- Amazon Fire TV.
- Large fitted wardrobes with plenty of hanging space and integrated shelves.
- Chest of drawers.
- Full length mirror.
- Blackout-lined curtains.
This room would ideally suit contractors or agency workers who are working away from home during the week, but require a comfortable, relaxed, and friendly home away from home. You will be the only lodger in the house.
In addition to your private room, the following shared areas and resources in the home are open for you to use:
- Strong WiFi throughout with a fibre-to-the-property (FTTP) connection, along with failover/redundancy to a second service to prevent outages.
- Shared bathroom with an electric hot shower.
- Fully fitted kitchen stocked with all the appliances and utensils you'd expect from a modern home kitchen.
- Living room with two comfortable double sofas, TV with FireTV, and a 4-seater table and chairs.
- Sunroom and private, enclosed, south-facing rear garden.
- Double off-street parking on the driveway in front of the house (1 space allocated for you, if you drive).
The house is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac and sees no passing traffic. It is perfectly located for a professional working at Williams F1, the Harwell Campus, or Wantage, with Milton Park being a short and easy commute of less than 30 minutes during rush hour.
Transport Links:
- The nearest bus stop is just a 2-minute walk from the house, featuring a bus shelter and seating in case of inclement weather. It offers a regular service (Stagecoach S9) to Oxford and Wantage, with linking connections to all nearby towns and villages.
- Other bus services to Abingdon, Harwell, Milton Park, and Didcot (X1/X36) operate from another stop within a 5-minute walk.
- The nearest train station is Didcot Parkway, which is a 25-minute bus journey away. Oxford Railway Station is also directly served by the local X1 bus route.

- Savile Way shops (5-minute walk): Co-op, Grove Post Office, InPost lockers, Grove convenience store (Premier), Cornerstone Cafe, Pizza takeaway, and a local charity shop.
- Millbrook Square shops (10-minute walk): Tesco Express, Costa Express, off-licence, pharmacy, bakery, barbers, takeaways, and a DIY store.
- Leisure & Culture: Grove Library is a 10-minute walk away.

- Elaichi restaurant: A fantastic, highly-rated local Indian & Bangladeshi restaurant and takeaway right here in Grove—perfect for a night off from cooking!

About Me:
I'm a very laid-back landlord and I'm looking for the same in a lodger. I’m an IT professional who works from home. I'm always happy to chat or chill out in the evening—watching TV is a frequent pastime, perhaps with a glass of wine after a hard day's work. Equally, I'm just as comfortable if you prefer to remain private and keep to your quarters.
About Pets:
The house is also home to Bisto the Chihuahua. He's a friendly, older gentleman who still loves life and his walks, though he also sleeps a lot. He's not a yappy dog and won't be in your room unless explicitly invited in. Dog lovers are most welcome!
Terms & Requirements:
- You will need to pass a UK Right to Rent check prior to moving in.
- Proof of ID and proof of your permanent address are required for any prospective lodger.
- A reference contact (email or phone number) from a current/previous landlord or employer is required to vouch for your suitability.
- Both the landlord and lodger must agree to and sign a formal Room Rental Agreement prior to the start of your stay.
- Securing the room in advance requires a 50% non-refundable holding deposit for each week reserved (up to a maximum of 4 weeks).
- If you wish to extend your stay beyond your initial booking, you will be given first refusal before the room is advertised publicly again.
- A security deposit will need to be paid in advance of your stay. This will be fully refunded to a nominated bank account of your choice the day after you vacate, once everything checks out.
- Rent is to be fully paid for each week’s stay in advance of being issued keys and access to the property.
- Refunds for vacating early during a paid week cannot be accommodated.
