A comfortable and relaxed place in the lovely and sought after village of Sutton Bonington. It's an ideal place for people looking for a relaxed country lifestyle in the cottage adjoining the large farmhouse. It has a large garden and a supportive live-in landlord. (I love in the adjoining coach house with my dad)

Room 2 is small room which is convenient for the bathroom and cottage style kitchen/dining room. Another room, Room 3, is a large double and will become available in the new year. You will have first refusal on it.

The law only permits me to have a maximum of four people in the Cottage, so I cannot allow double occupancy. Non-resident guests including children may stay for up to three nights per week.

Bills are a fixed amount per month, lower in the Summer because of the heating cost (electric). They are now £115 per month in the Summer, and £195 per month in the winter. They include:
- Council tax and electricity
- Broadband, the TV license, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Amazon Music.
- Ground coffee, tea bags, sugar, milk, porridge for breakfast.
- Washing powder, toilet paper, cleaning materials, and bin bags
- Common cooking stuff: cooking oil, salt and pepper, and a large array of herbs and spices

The maximum Local Housing Allowance for this area is £395 per week. If you are on a low income or benefits, this is your maximum entitlement.

Pets are welcome. I will only have well behaved animals. Dogs must be friendly with other dogs and people, and must be carefully introduced to the ones already here. The two here at the moment are small dogs.

The house is a 1908 farmhouse built with great character and set in the village of Sutton Bonington. The cottage has been recently separated from the main house which is managed separately. The cottage has a new cottage style kitchen and there is fast WiFi throughout the property. There is off road parking.

Smoking is absolutely not permitted in the house.

The garden is about half an acre, with a small orchard. The field immediately to the rear is used by the local stables for horses.

The village is home to the out-of-town campus of Nottingham University. There is a free to all shuttle bus from the campus to Nottingham running every ~30 minutes, passing Nottingham Trent Uni and going to University Park and QMC. The village also has a sports centre, a post office, two local pubs, a newsagents/off-licence, and a Doctor's health practice all within a short walk. Loughborough Rowing Club is only a mile away. But if you want nightlife, this is probably not the place for you - even though the pubs do stay open very late if you are in them.

There is a new regular bus service from the University Campus to Loughborough with a stop close to the house. It starts at 0730 and runs approximately hourly. The last bus returns from Loughborough at about 1750.

There are three washing machines. I use the washing line for drying, but there is a tumble dryer.

My usual minimum agreement is three months with no real maximum. Many lodgers have come for a few months and stayed many years. For short lets, I charge an additional 25%. My dad looks after two people in the main house who are in need of some care

If you'd like to look around, please message me. I'll get back to you as quickly as possible.

Best Wishes, David Wright
