Please read full listing before applying. If this sounds like a lovely fit for you.
Please note due to previous experiences, to save time, we now only reply to enquiries that answer the couple of questions on this listing. I understand that can take extra time for you if you are applying for lots of places, but will save a lot of time for both of us in the long run.
Questions:
1: Why does this place sound good for you?
2. How do you feel about the plant based food and drink only in the home?
3. Are you ok with the kitchen sometimes not being accessible in clinic time?
4. How long would you like to stay?
Main thing to think about is the plant based food and drink only in the home, and having a home clinic downstairs. While non-vegans are totally welcome and have enjoyed their stay here (great reviews on Airbnb) - longer term you might want to be already plant/based vegan.
This is for a lovely room in welcoming, friendly home on the outskirts of the town centre. The home is 2 rooms (ours and yours) and a box room, a shared bathroom with a walk in shower, a living room which is also a physiotherapy and massage clinic, a kitchen, mini-laundry room and small permaculture gardens in the front and back.
Myself Katherine, and my partner Brian live here, though we also work away a lot. Sometimes we rent out our spare room to give people a safe, welcoming friendly place to stay, and all our income from this goes towards all the bills, repairs, maintenance and improvement of the home. Brian is a physiotherapist, and I am a holistic healthcare practitioner working with multiple levels for wellbeing.
It's a great location, that is 10-15 minutes walk from lovely wood in Erddig, 10 minutes from a lovely park Bellevue, and 10 minutes if that walk to town. We have trees overlooking our space yet also a supermarket (LIDL) around the corner, and a co-op a few minutes away. We are about 20-25 minutes walk (10 minutes drive) to the train station.
As it's us inviting you to share our home, there are some strong shared agreements - and then within this strong structure, there is so much flexibility and freedom to make yourself at home here.
-Vegan food and drink only home. What other people eat outside the home is up to them, inside the home it is an allergy free and as cruelty-free as possible haven. This means zero meat, fish, eggs, milk, honey, ghee, etc - anything that has come from an animal in that way.
Fruit, veg, legumes, grains, foods labelled vegan etc of course all welcome.
This is important to consider if applying. It is reassuring to know not going to have an allergic reaction in own home. Please mention how you align with this in your initial message. We do have a lot of queries and we may not respond without this.
-Cleaning after yourself, having shoes off in the home, and sitting down to use the toilet even men/if you would normally stand. It's the only way we would continue to share our home with someone else.
-To be ok if kitchen is not accessible in clinic hours (usually at various times between 12-6pm for some of the days of the week when we are here).
The home, kitchen, the bathroom is sometimes shared, or when we are away, you may often have it to yourself.
Wifi, council tax and water bills included.
Zero gas bills as we are electric only.
Electric bills are shared between the three of us as fair as we can and are off-set by solar panels, and cheap overnight rates so are lower than normal places.
We don't watch TV so if you want to, you will need to organise and pay your own TV license
As well as on spare rooms, we also Airbnb this room, and there are a lot of reviews on there (mostly from non vegans!)
We have an electric car charging point in the garage, and we do have a cheap overnight rate for this.
There's usually street parking in the close. When we are away there's a nice place to part on the residents parking area.
We use only plant based eco-products in the home, whether that's shower stuff, cleaning products, washing up and in washing clothes, and so are looking for someone else that does this too.
And we recycle everything we can! Even taking the soft plastic to the supermarkets.
We don't have a curfew or anything, though if things can be chill quiet after 10pm is great - for us - and our lovely lovely neighbours (they are seriously lovely).
We don't smoke or vape, and like a smoke/vape free home.
We don't drink alcohol usually, totally ok though for others find drink vegan alcohol in the home.
Happy to have partners/friends stay if they respect the agreements too.
We are quite relaxed, we love both socialising and having time to ourselves - so suitable for introverts and extroverts alike.
Katherine loves music and community work, Brian loves the gym and running, and if new to the area, we might be able to give some tips where to check out, events that are happening.
We do keep this place clean and tidy as much as possible - so suits more someone that likes and keeps things clean and tidy.
We are pet free- though there is some lovely wild animals in our permaculture little garden. (Some herbs and often fruits for you to harvest for free too)
For sure this is racist-free, xenophobic-free, transphobe-free, homophobia-free, ableist free home - please only apply if this applies to you.
This means this place is open to all backgrounds, birthplaces, identities, abilities, LGBTQIA+, anyone that values and respects our united diversities.
Within all this strong structure, there is so much flexibility to make your place your own. Depending on the person, this place is either unsuitable for you, or a total dream of a spare room for you.
If it's a total dream to you, let us know :) Let's see what we can work out!
