We are letting this flat from September as a flatshare for two international postgraduate students, as we have done for the past ten years. Just the larger room remains now, to go to a successful applicant who must be a female postgrad on a 12 month postgraduate course starting in September. It is occupied until then.

Prices are per room, with bills included: gas, electricity, off-street parking, internet, phone line. As bills have doubled recently, it is good to know where you are with this.
