Huge double room in characterful Stafford home

I'm offering a huge, semi-furnished double room in my home in Stafford. At approximately 13 ft x 20 ft (around 24 m²), it’s a genuinely spacious room, with a lovely bay window and plenty of room to create your own sitting or work area as well as a sleeping space.

This is a characterful older house, and I live here with my senior Rhodesian Ridgeback, Zola.

I'm looking for a friendly, considerate female lodger who would enjoy a relaxed, homely environment and appreciates having plenty of space.

I'm a freelance French/English translator and interpreter and work from home most of the time. It's usually just me and Zola here; my two young adult children live and work in London but come back occasionally and stay in their own rooms.

Rent is £650 per month, including bills, for single occupancy. Council Tax Band E is included in the rent.

The house offers:
• Wi-Fi
• Washing machine and tumble dryer
• Plenty of off-road parking
• A very big garden
• Spacious shared kitchen and living areas
• Shared upstairs bathroom
• Separate downstairs toilet

The upstairs bathroom is normally shared with me; when my children are home they use it too, and there's also the separate downstairs toilet.

Zola has the run of the house and is very much part of the household, so I'm looking for someone who is comfortable around dogs. Unfortunately, I'm not able to accommodate another dog or pet.

The room currently also houses some of my yarn and craft supplies — fellow crafters very welcome! It's semi-furnished, and I'm happy to be flexible about what stays and what goes, including clearing the craft supplies, so you can make the space feel like your own.

I'm looking for a considerate, independent working professional who'd be comfortable sharing a home with me and is looking for a settled mid- to long-term arrangement — minimum three months, ideally longer.

If this sounds like the kind of home you're looking for, please get in touch and tell me a little about yourself, what you do, and what you're looking for.
