Room to rent

Ashley Road, Bathford, Bath BA1

Property Reference: 360208.

Well-Maintained Room Available in a Peaceful Home - Under a License to Occupy Agreement

The rent is lower than usual due to the unique sharing arrangement, but just to clarify—it's meant to be £200/month as stated.

A well-maintained single room is available in a peaceful and welcoming home, ideal for a quiet and dependable adult seeking a respectful and calm living environment. The room is furnished with a comfortable single bed, natural light, a desk, a built-in wardrobe, and a private en-suite bathroom.

You will be living with an elderly resident, a physically fit retired professional jazz pianist with a lively personality, a deep passion for music—especially jazz and gospel—and a great sense of humor. While she may sometimes take a little longer to adjust to changes, she enjoys engaging conversation and would appreciate the companionship of someone who shares her love for music and a warm, relaxed atmosphere.

The home is kept at a comfortable 25°C, creating a cozy living space, so it may not be suitable for those who prefer cooler environments.

Living Arrangement and Expectations:

• 
  
  This is a License to Occupy Agreement, not an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST), which offers more flexibility and is ideal for shared living arrangements.
  
  
• 
  
  You will be expected to be around for an average of 4 out of 7 nights a week, except for holidays (roughly 32 days per year).
  
  
• 
  
  A key aspect of the arrangement is listening to the resident in the mornings to provide some company and support to start the day.
  
  

The resident is adjusting to house-sharing again, so your patience and understanding will be essential to ensure a smooth transition for both of you.

Additional Responsibilities and Opportunities:

• 
  
  Support and outings: You may have the option to take her out for meals, attend jazz or gospel events, or share music-related experiences. In such cases, you would be responsible for chaperoning her and ensuring her safety during outings.
  
  
• 
  
  Household duties: In exchange for affordable accommodation, you will need to contribute a minimum of 10 hours per week to light household chores, such as cleaning, vacuuming, taking out rubbish, and tidying shared areas. A cooperative and friendly atmosphere is essential.
  
  
• 
  
  Sharing a meal or two is also welcomed, as the owner enjoys good food and company.
  
  

Additional Benefits:

• 
  
  Free car parking space available for your use.
  
  

Ideal Candidate:

We are looking for a mature individual (preferably aged 40 or over) who is reliable, thoughtful, and fluent in Queen's English or well-spoken without issue. A caring nature, patience, a great sense of humor, and a respectful, easygoing personality are important qualities for this arrangement.

For peace of mind, a Basic dbs check is required, which can be self-applied online.
