THE ROOM: comfortable double with plenty of storage space and Victorian features on the top floor of my Victorian home, facing the back garden and with a shared Jacuzzi bath/shower room. The granny flat also has a fully equipped kitchenette for the exclusive use of the two lodgers on that floor. The space would suit a more mature student or a professional who wants a peaceful place to live in a quiet environment.

The other bedroom in the granny flat is front-facing, and occupied by a Post-grad female student. The facilities on that floor are exclusive to the two occupants.

In addition, you will have complete access to the shared spaces on the ground floor. These include the TV/snug and open-plan dining room, the lavatory/laundry, the garden and decked patio. You are always welcome to come have a cuppa and a chat in the main kitchen on the ground floor, but you can also choose to stay in the flat and chill there in your own space.

LOCATION AND AMENITIES: We are on Gilmour Road in EH16, a short walk to The King's Buildings campus, and very close to The Royal Infirmary. We are also have a direct bus to The Western General (about 35-40 mins), and we are only 10-15 mins into town with excellent transport links elsewhere. The stop is a two-minute walk away and you can find the following buses, amongst others: 3.7.8.21.24.29.31.35.37.47 ...

PARKING: free 24/7 on-street parking on the opposite side of the road, and outwith the hours of 11:00 - 12:30 am on weekdays on our side of the road.

SHOPPING: The nearest shopping centre is Cameron Toll, a short walk. It's got a Sainsbury's, Aldi, Boots, WH Smith, Costa, several banks and other shops.

BILLS: these are included in the rent, eg. council tax, broadband, etc. During winter months we have a house conversation about the power bill and if the bill rises exponentially, we split the inevitable increase during these few months.

OTHER HOUSEMATES: We're a female household of mature students and professionals. I am a writer and value peace and tranquility, though I'm usually up for a movie-night/film and wine.

If you're looking for a party house, this isn't it. It's a safe and tranquil place to live. The wildest we get is Chinese hotpot and pizza/film when the mood strikes. Housemates are on varied schedules and the emphasis is on consideration and respect for others.

If you think you'd fit our household and would like to know more, please do get in touch and I'd be happy to have a video-call or arrange an in-person viewing.
