Description
I am a 24 yr-old scottish male at Napier Uni, going into 3rd year BSc Games Development. I am looking for a student to share my flat. Must be nonsmoker - preferably someone of similar age and interests.
I have a bright double room to let in a great flat in Polwarth from 1st September.
It is a 15-20 minute walk to Napier and 30 mins or so to Edinburgh Uni, and has great access to public transport.
I like music (and play bass guitar) as well as going to the occasional gig, comedy show or trip to the cinema. I enjoy video/board games and going out with my mates but I'm fairly quiet and not a party animal. I am trying to get fit and go to the gym regularly.
I employ a cleaner for 2 hours/fortnight but would expect you to share in chores and keep the place clean and tidy.
Some detail about the flat :
Secure entry system
Bright carpeted stairwell cleaned every week by factors
Double glazing
Large living room with french window and fantastic views of Harrison Park
Large TV with Freeview
Dining area - seats 4
Large comfy sofa
Modern kitchen with washing machine and dishwasher
Gas cooker, electric oven and microwave
Fridge/freezer
Bathroom with shower and bath
Bright, sunny bedroom with double bed
Bedroom has great view over manicured communal gardens to Corstorphine Hill
Large desk and chest of drawers
Double mirror wardrobe
Gas central heating
Heat-on-demand hot water
BT broadband – high quality with unlimited downloads
Private parking (may be available for an additional monthly fee)
It is a warm, bright flat and has great views over green space from all windows. Harrison Park to the front and beautiful tended gardens to the rear (garden view is from room).
Rent is £400 pcm plus bills (TV licence, gas/electricity, factors fees, phone/broadband, cleaner-2hrs fortnightly) which currently come to about £100 pcm.
As students we would be zero rated for council tax.
I would require two references and a deposit of £500. You would be required to sign a Lodgers Agreement which clearly lays out all terms. The lease would run from 1st September 2016 until 31st July 2017.
