Hello!

We had someone due to move in this month and that has fallen through, so the room is available now.

If you are interested in the room, please get in touch, telling us a bit about yourself, including the rhythm of your day/week and what you are looking for out of moving in with us. We would prefer considered enquiries from people who have read the whole of our ad.

En-suite room in B13, on the Moseley/Balsall Heath border (a few minutes walk from the MAC/Cannon Hill Park, Moseley Park & Pool and the centre of Moseley, and an easy hop into the centre of Birmingham).

Free on-street parking
Secure bike storage
Large mature garden
Outdoor table-tennis

The house is on a quiet street with plenty of free parking and secure indoor space for bikes. The room is on the top floor and has a private en-suite containing a shower, basin & WC. There is sufficient space for a seating/desk area in addition to the bed, if you need to work from home. You could also fit an armchair in if you wanted. Storage - shelving and wardrobe built-in (see photos), and some under-bed space, but nothing more.

The downstairs of the house has the shared areas of the lounge, kitchen/dining area, and the garden (with table tennis table). Bills are included (water, gas/electricity, council tax, superfast fibre broadband).

Some info about us:

- We are a same-sex female couple in our 40s, with two small children
- We have one other lodger who is lovely and has lived with us for a couple of years (early/mid 30s)
- We moved onto dry land and to Birmingham after spending several years living on boats;
- We are (atheist) members of a Unitarian congregation;
-Between us our interests include entrepreneurship, community building, medical ethics, canal boats, sport, gardening, cooking, reading.

We’re looking for the right person to move in. To date our longest lodger has stayed 3.5 years, and our shortest 3 months. We’re open minded about who moves in, save that we always look for someone who has attained a degree of emotional maturity, and is good at communicating. We would prefer someone who is in their late twenties, or older.

To give you a bit more of a picture of what we’re like as housemates, our family life is busy and we both have quite demanding jobs, in which we largely work from home. We are also very involved (despite being atheists) with the running of a Unitarian church; this is a big part of our lives. We love a passing conversation or cup of tea in the kitchen and the occasional organised meal/film night after the kids are in bed, but we aren't housemates who can be relied on for a social life (only because we have very little time to ourselves!)

Parking - there is pretty much always a spot nearby, and the street around the corner (our street is very short) always has spots.

Not suitable for smokers, or big drinkers.

If you think you might be interested, please drop us a line noting what we've said at the outset of this ad, and if you've got this far, tell us your favourite biscuit in your message. We’re happy to talk more, and to have a quick video call before a viewing.
