Large furnished double room in a quiet, secure and safe owner-occupied home - suitable for a mature lodger

£695 pcm including bills | Long-term preferred | One person

We have a large, comfortable furnished double room available in our quiet, well-maintained family home.

We are live-in landlords and are looking for an independent, considerate person who is looking for a settled home rather than a busy house-share environment.

The room may particularly suit a professional, postgraduate, mature student or someone relocating to Portsmouth.

Please note: we have a friendly family dog who is part of the household.

The room

* Large furnished double bedroom
* Good storage
* Desk/study space
* Shared bathroom
* Comfortable, well-maintained home
* Reliable Wi-Fi
* Bills included - Council Tax Band C

On street parking outside the house with no permit available - one of the only areas in Southsea with free parking.

The household

This is our family home, and we value a quiet, clean and respectful environment.

We are looking for someone who is independent and considerate of shared spaces and who is happy living in an owner-occupied home.

We are not a party house and would suit someone who does not require frequent visitors or overnight guests.

We would ideally like someone looking for a longer-term arrangement preferably 12 months or more.

Location & transport

The house is well connected by public transport, with the U2 bus stop very close to the house and the No. 13 also nearby, providing convenient access towards Portsmouth and the university.

Fratton station is approximately 10–15 minutes' walk away, with St Mary's Hospital also within easy walking distance. Local shops and other amenities are close by.

Weekday option

For the right person, we may also consider a Monday-to-Friday arrangement at £600 pcm.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for someone who is ideally;

* Independent and responsible
* Clean and considerate
* Respectful of the household and shared spaces
* Working or studying
* Looking for a stable, longer-term home
* Comfortable living with a friendly family dog

If you are interested, please tell us a little about yourself, what brings you to Portsmouth, your expected move-in date and how long you are looking to stay.

Before any agreement is made, we will carry out the appropriate right to rent check and any relevant referencing/document checks and we would require £695 rent as a deposit and rent will be paid monthly in advance. For international students payment will be upfront and for domestic students a semester in advance as per current practice.
