Available Dates:

Description

Our home is peaceful and calm, great for quiet study. It's also on a quiet street and has allotments behind the garden so there are no overlooking houses. One of the bedrooms has a good sized desk, and the en-suite has a smaller console-sized table, which could be moved downstairs if you prefer. Both bedrooms are good-sized doubles. The en suite is a sunny room - even in winter if the sun is out! The bathroom is a couple of steps down and has a shower over the bath. The second bathroom has a really good shower - is downstairs and at the end of the kitchen. The shower is really good! :) The kitchen is a good size, fully equipped (just no microwave), and has a sunny breakfast table, and you can close the doors to the cosy living room and read or watch a movie in the winter evenings. We recycle and compost food scraps, and aim to be efficient with energy use etc. We only use the tumble dryer when really necessary - we have a dehumidifier which is great for drying clothes, and switch off lights etc when not in use. You don't need to be vegetarian, but we do ask that no meat or fish is brought into the house - we have kept the house meat and fish free for over 20 years, and would love to keep it that way! Please do ask any questions - we would love for you to enjoy our home and to feel at home yourself while you stay here.

Rental Rates and Terms

Rates from GBP £1950 Monthly

Utilities are included

A cleaning service is not included

Comments: We are vegetarian and the house has been meat/fish free for 20 years, so we would like this to continue with no meat/fish in the house please!

Considerations

Ask about the suitability of the home for young kids

Ask about bringing pets

Smoking is not allowed

Ask about the availability of a car

Comments: The stairs are steep but we have had small children staying before, so it's really at the parents discretion. We could consider pets. Parking is tricky and cars are not useful in Oxford - most people cycle! If you need a car we can discuss.

House Sitting

I may need help while I am away

I may need help with mail and deliveries

Please let us know if we have mail - we may ask a friend to collect once a week.

I may need help with plants or garden

We have quite a few plants but if you prefer not to deal with them we can ask a friend to visit 1x/week or so to water them.

Comments: Just generally taking care of our home! Please let us know if any issues come up.
