Double room in 2 bed newly refurbished house

Please note for non-students the rent is £600/month as I would lose my council tax exemption and pay 75% council tax.

I'm letting out a room in my 2 bed characterful terrace on Swillington Common. The location is close to Thorpe Park/The Springs retail park and Garforth, with a supermarket and multiple gyms close by as well as a cinema, restaurants and other shops.

The room is bright and spacious, fully furnished with a small (4ft) double bed with an Emma Sleep mattress, desk (perfect for work/study), wardrobe and mirror. A joiner is fitting a key lock (thumb turn inside) for privacy this week.

The house features a south-facing garden with a sunny patio, if you're into gardening, you're more than welcome to get involved, and there's also the Roots allotment project nearby in Garforth. There's lots of wildlife, and you can sometimes spot deer in the surrounding fields! 🦌

All bills are included and the property has full fibre internet and a TV license.

I'm vegan and it would be nice to share with someone who is also vegan or vegetarian, but it's not essential (you can cook what food you like). Please no smoking. I can consider small animals on a case by case basis.

The house is well placed for commuting, with regular busses a 2 minute walk away (163, 164, 165, 19, 19a, 9) serving Leeds, Headingly, Garforth, Cross Gates, Selby, Castleford etc. The M1 motorway is also close by.

It has a (tight) reserved parking spot at the back you are welcome to use (I don't drive), and there is non-reserved space at the front and generally close by.

I'm studying full time at York (Archaeology) but also work some evenings, so sometimes I'm home quite a bit but I'm also often out of the house all day until late. I’m easy to get along with and enjoy a fairly peaceful household.

If working or studying from home most days there would be a small, fixed surcharge to cover increased utilities.

Please note there is some background noise due to the proximity to Selby road.

Thanks for reading, let me know if you have any questions and please do share a little about yourself if you’re interested!
