Laurie Gray's room

Looking for a 6-month lodger from Sept 2025: A light, spacious and private stay in Roath. Rent listed includes bills :)

The Room: A large double windowed room in the upstairs of the house. Furniture & Features: 2 wooden drawers, 2 clothes rails and shelves, a comfortable double bed with storage underneath (futon), a wooden blanket box, wooden floors, an original fireplace (not in use) and 2 windows with blinds and black out curtains.

The House: A traditional 19th century Victorian terraced house in Roath. It contains two private bedrooms and an upstairs shared bathroom (Bath and shower); then living room, dining room and kitchen downstairs. Facilities include: Washing machine, Dish washer, Heated clothes drying rack, Oven & Hob, Fridge-Freezer, Radiators in every room, a Wood burning stove and good WiFi (no issues even when we both work from home!). Council tax band D.

The Garden: There is a small, private back garden with a patio, mini-lawn & seating area. The front of the house has a little forecourt with gate.

The Location: Arran street is a quiet and well-located street in the heart of Roath. Just a few minutes’ walk from Wellfield Road as well as City Road and Albany Road, you have an abundance of shops, delis, cafes, bakeries and restaurants right on your doorstep. Roath Recreation Ground (0.4 miles), Waterloo Gardens (0.7 miles) and Roath Park (1.4 miles) are all within walking distance, and it’s only a 20-30 minute walk into Cardiff City Centre.

We are Anna and Laurie, a couple in our 30’s - however we will be travelling for most of this time, so you will have the house mostly to yourself.

We both work in the charity sector, and have been lucky enough to be granted a 6 month sabbatical - so having a lodger means we can travel during September 2025 - Feb 2026.

We love to cook, we enjoy reading and relaxing in the garden - so our house is full of spices, books, and flowers in the garden. We don’t have pets but used to and are happy to have them stay. We both work from home (when we are working, which we won’t be doing on our sabbatical!)
