East Oxford, good area, convenient

***Room available for short term until mid September***

Sunny double room near Iffley Road with a bay window in a good residential area, within the ring road, good for transport, 5 min walk to buses 3, 3A and X40 to city centre, or a 2 minute drive to the ring road. Bus 3A goes to the Science Park. It's quick to get to Sainsbury's, Oxfam HQ, Cowley, the ring road, A34, Oxford Science Park, BMW, the local gym and park.

Supermarkets, chemist and takeaways are nearby. Beautiful Iffley village with its historic pubs and the river and nature is 15 minutes walk away.
So you get the best of both worlds.

There are two reception rooms, one with TV, sofa and another with dining table and chairs. There is a garage for bike and use of a good washing/drying machine.

All bills included: a regular cleaner, council tax, utilities and fast wi fi. No agency fees to pay.

The double room has a good single bed, desk in the bay window, adjustable chair, shelves, bookcases, easy chair, wardrobe, rug, and a nice view.

Parking is free, on the street. The kitchen has everything you need: storage, microwave, retro style fridge/freezer and also washer/dryer, food processor, etc. The cooker is multi functional.

I am a busy retired person, easy-going and like to relax in the evenings if I'm not out and about. I like wildlife, trees, art, architecture, going to Blenheim Palace, good pubs in Oxford, good films, sustainability, new places and ideas, travel, history programmes and lots of different kinds of music. I am trying to have a more sustainable lifestyle, with reducing waste.
I am the live-in landlady and probably like you, have my own life but happy to have a chat and meet new people. I also do volunteering locally.

It is probably best that you do not work or study from home all day, but are out for some of the day. So I prefer someone out at work or study/sight seeing.

You might be a professional or an academic with a busy life, happy to clear up after yourself and to recycle and are reliable.

This is a very friendly neighbourhood, close to shops round the corner and Sainsbury's mega shop in walking distance and its easy and quick to get to vibrant Cowley Road. A short walk takes you to the Thames.

I am used to sharing with other people and have been a lodger myself, as a student and when working.
Previous people have come from all walks of life and often were new to Oxford.
I have a nice and relaxed cat.
I am happy to share my knowledge of places to visit, eat and drink in the city and to show people around.

Hope this is helpful; please get in touch if you have any questions.

It is a non-smoking house and garden, so it is not possible to have a smoker or vape here.
Mon to Fri lets are ok, in which case the rent would be reduced.

Best wishes,
Katharine
