Semi-detached house

1929 house, extended and modernised, with large garden.

While we do have 2 bedrooms, we would prefer to offer just our front, main, bedroom. This is an empty room used to teach yoga and doubling as a guest room. It is a large room and we have a good quality double futon bed to offer. We can discuss other arrangements if necessary.

We have lodgers, a couple, who live in a loft-conversion apartment at the top of the house. They have their own kitchen, washing machine, and shower/toilet. The stairs and hallway is used by us all.

We request that guests leave outdoor shoes in the hallway, and only wearing slippers or socks etc inside.

We are vegetarian. so while it is up to visitors what they cook, we request that the hob and oven is left clean and free and any meaty fat.
