2-bedroom shared house / townhouse, Moorland Avenue

1st January 2025
*********************************
The structure of the house is as follows; I have my own bedroom. There is a small spare room, plus 2 other bedrooms for rent, each fully equipped with a Queen sized bed and sheets, pillows and Duvet.
One bedroom is already occupied by a student at Adelaide University studying a Masters Degree in Chemical Engineering.
This leaves one full sized bedroom, fully furnished, for rent.

I am: ex teacher, quiet, semi-retired working part time locally & running a small business from home.
I work hard during the day, and enjoy relaxing in a quiet house at night.

I am looking for a friendly, nonsmoker, clean and tidy person to share my house, together with another lodger.
Roy is a young professional male studying for a Masters in Chemical Engineering at Adelaide University.
The house has the ideal atmosphere for study as we maintain a quiet respectful household.
Harmony, honesty and respect is paramount.

The room will be available from 1st November 2025.

The following may be too much information, but hopefully it will save everyone some time by helping you decide whether you want to follow this up.

If you apply I will require some obvious personal details and references.
The house is a comfortable fully furnished home in a quiet and convenient location in BEVERLEY 5009, situated midway between the city and Grange beach. My house is only 5. 3 kilometres from the city.
It has a total of 4 bedrooms, Lounge, kitchen/dining area, 1 bathroom and 2 toilets, with large laundry.
The bedrooms and living area all have individual reverse-cycle air conditioning.
Use of facilities is all inclusive; I can supply (if needed), everything you will need including bed linen, cooking pots & pans, cutlery, toaster, crockery, microwave, fridge, new washing machine & dryer, TV, DVD, Internet.
Plenty of parking space in the driveway.

The bedroom is fully furnished and contains a Queen size bed with linen, pillows and Duvet/quilt if required. Also a very large wardrobe, bedside dresser and chest of drawers, & equipped with Air conditioning, ceiling fan, bedside lamps, desk, & chair.

Electricity, Water, Gas and Internet are included in rent. No extra charge.
Frequent buses along Grange Road to the city and to the beach a few minutes away.
15 to 20 minutes travel from CITY
Buses available from CITY are; ,110, 117, 118,
Nearest stops are number 15. This stop is adjacent to EAST AVENUE .
The term is negotiable for the right person.
Lodging is periodic with 4 weeks BOND plus two weeks rent in advance to begin.
I work on a weekly cash basis in advance for rent, with 2 weeks notice given by either person to leave.
The length of stay initially is dependent upon how we get along.
I prefer at least 2 months stay to begin. If we all get along, and it's working, then the term could be extended beyond 12 months.

Shops: IGA supermarket is 5 minutes walk from here.
Findon Shopping Centre with Coles, Drakes & many Specialty shops including Post Office is 4 minutes drive away, or 25 minutes walk.

The arrangement with my house is an "Owner -- Lodger" relationship.
I run a small business from home and require PRIVACY and SECURITY. Therefore I cannot allow strangers and/or other people into my home who may be your "friends & acquaintances".
This of course, can change as a relationship with trust is established.

I personally clean all my house once a week as a regular routine, including rented rooms, when time allows.
The person living in the room is expected to keep the room clean & tidy.
No food or drink in the bedroom.
I do expect that a lodger will help by cleaning up after using anything, such as the bathroom, kitchen, dishes, laundry.
For the shared areas such as the bathroom, I adopt the "leave everything as you would like to find it" philosophy.

My "likes" are; a decent sense of humour and ability to have a conversation.
I have a regular lifestyle, that is :--
I like to work during the day and sleep at night.

My "dislikes" are someone living in their room like a pig, and spilling wine and food about the house and thinking it's perfectly okay.

I normally think of these things as simple RESPECT.

Strange habits and irregular sleep patterns won't work.
Although, I realise many students do work on a casual basis and have awkward shifts and times, this type of situation is quite acceptable.
