Cosy small double room to let in our distinctive house - a characterful modern warehouse conversion recently renovated to a high standard. Part of a small private gated development set apart from the street between Preston Circus & Preston Park, we are a quiet, secluded & secure spot in the centre of Brighton..

Situated in a really superb part of town, convenient for many parts of Brighton & Hove - "Location, location, location" and all that. Two minutes walk from Preston Park & Preston Circus, ~5 minutes to North Laine, <5 minutes to London Road Station & <10 minutes to Brighton Station. The place has previously suited both commuters & city centre workers very well indeed. Safe off-street racks/storage for bikes, and no waiting list for resident parking permits (Zone J).

Sharing with gay male couple as live-in landlords – 32 & 42 - relaxed, left-leaning, bookish, busy, hard-working. Sometimes travel for work and occasionally work from home, so house is a quiet, comfortable, relaxed space. Like to think we're pretty chill & easy-going, ours is certainly not a party house, but we all have our occasional moments….

Lockdown was largely spent improving & decorating, so the place is currently in particularly smart form. We're relatively clean, tidy and always hope to share with much the same. Realistically far from perfect - clean (with a sprinkling of dog hair) though not always the tidiest maybe. However we have a brilliant weekly cleaner who helps out in this regard and keeps the place in good order.

Also resident one much-loved 9 year old female chocolate Labrador - so dog lovers make for ideal housemates. We are a very dog friendly house, and will always consider a lodger with a pooch if the whole pack (them & us) all got along. Indeed we have been a very fun three-hound house in times past.

Interests include gardening, books, music, film, food, wine, gym, yoga. We live on radios 3, 4, 6Music & plenty of novels. Large library, flat screen TV & Mac-mini in sitting room. Buckets of kitchen & bathroom storage, all appliances & facilities you might expect.. Front entranceway packed with plants, cosy but seriously planted back patio garden, and countless houseplants in every room - we are rather fond of plants.

We have two bedrooms that we've rented to lodgers for many years and have had some wonderful previous housemates who have become firm friends. We aim to keep a safe, friendly and welcoming house - when it has worked well a proper home for other thoughtful & together folk, often LBGTQ but by no means exclusively - some super straight/bi folk have been much loved team members. Shared houses work best as a positive, respectful & spirited team effort. Physically the place is a sizeable family home, so "shared space" is just that, "make yourself at home" means just that.

SMALL DOUBLE ROOM
* Double-height ceiling, wooden floors plus a fresh coat of paint
* Small double (4ft wide) bed with high-quality mattress
* Double height John Lewis mirrored wardrobe and matching set of bedside drawers
* Brand new wall mounted Samsung 32" FHD Smart TV
* Phillips Hue smart bulbs in spotlights on walls
* Newly installed Velux skylight - solar electric powered smart window and blind
* Further storage in vintage mid-century chest of drawers on landing outside room

All utilities included in rent - council tax (band E), gas, electricity (fully renewable), water, super-fast broadband (shit-hot WiFi & even better LAN), tv licence, lovely weekly cleaner & dog privileges. It's an straightforward all-in proposition, which I've always found much the easier way.

Both lodgers share the one main/family bathroom upstairs which is recently fitted; we have our own en-suite so this means one bath/shower between two of you.

Ideal are professionals/fully-employed, but again open-minded and fully considerate of individual circumstances. We've made all manner of situations work well. Housing benefit recipients have been some great housemates over the years, so no prejudice in that regard. Strictly no tobacco smokers. All combinations of genders/identities welcome - that said, Tories, Brexiteers, Covid-deniers & anti-vaxers will be decidedly frowned upon....

Room has also been used as a study/sitting room when rented by a couple alongside the larger bedroom (Ad ref# 11902951).. So we'd consider a couple if similarly they took both rooms.

Room available now, deposit 1 month's rent in advance, 6 month minimum let - longer term is always better, friendlier & less disruptive for house/team.

If you're interested, please could you tell us plenty about yourself & your current situation - it'd be super helpful.

We look forward to hearing from you!
