Room in a Shared House, Richmond Road, BS16
Overview
Bedrooms: 3 | Bathrooms: 2 |
Max Tenants: 2 | Location: Bristol |
Description
The house is a three/four bedroom Victorian townhouse with tonnes of character and features - including exposed stonework, a log burner, and a lathe wall in one of the bedrooms - and has been renovated to a super high standard (led by Julie, who graduated as an Architect), including reclaimed wooden floors, granite worktops, two separate bathrooms, and a glass roofed dining area that opens out on to the patio.
Unlike other rental properties, every aspect of the renovation has been designed to maximise the quality of life of those living here. So instead of lifeless box-like rooms and cheap fixtures and fittings, the house is full of charm and features that make day-to-day living far more enjoyable, including super powerful showers and a range cooker with five hobs and three ovens. Designed with renters in mind, the shared spaces are also plentiful and carefully designed so as to provide spaces where people can eat and relax together or, when they prefer, to have their own space to themselves.
Julie and me (Matt) will be living here as well until next April/May 2020, when we'll be off and inviting others in to replace us. As such, those joining now will have the opportunity to stay on for the longer term should they choose, including the possibility of renting the entire place as a group if so desired.
In terms of location, while we may look far from the centre of Bristol we're actually only a 20 minute cycle along the traffic-free Bristol to Bath cyclepath to Cabot circus, 15 mins to Easton, or 45 minutes in the other direction to Bath, and road links are great given close proximity to the ringroad and motorways. There are a number of pubs a super short walk away as well as a Tesco Express, Lidl and Sainsburys all within walking distance, while its also a super short ride into the countryside for when you want a break from the city. Parking is available for one other car, while there is also onstreet parking just around the corner.
As for us, we're two friendly and outgoing 29 years old who speak English, French and Spanish between us. We're sociable but also very respectful of people's privacy and desire to have downtime, and our likes/hobbies including cooking, cycling, hiking and travelling. Julie is a trained architect who is currently working on her own interior collection while I work remotely in media monitoring and translation.
- Room one (yellow room): £575 pcm
- Room two (blue room): £525 pcm
We're flexible for move in dates as we're keen to find the right people to join us, but ideally we'd be looking at the end of the month (to allow us to have the glass roof installed and second bathroom finished off).
