Description
Hello! 😊
Are you a private landlord looking for an exceptionally reliable, house-proud tenant who will genuinely cherish your property?
I've rented for 11 years and have NEVER missed a single rent payment!
I'm a mature, single lady looking for a lovely, peaceful rural home where I can settle long-term with my ginger cat, Ziggi.
Why I'd make an excellent tenant
- 11 years of impeccable rent payments – not one missed payment!
- Excellent references from previous landlords.
- Substantial savings and regular income, with a financially secure homeowner guarantor available if required.
- A former homeowner myself, so I understand the importance of caring for a property.
-Excellent credit score with Experian and TransUnion.
- Exceptionally conscientious, respectful and house-proud.
- A non-smoker looking for a stable, long-term home.
I've always worked full-time until a recent health-related pause and intend to return to full-time employment in the very near future.
I've included photographs of homes and gardens I've personally cared for, so you can see the standard of care your property would receive.
My dream little home 🏡
Ideally, I'm looking for a small detached bungalow, cottage or house in a peaceful rural or edge-of-village location.
I'd also be absolutely delighted to consider a completely self-contained annexe, with its own kitchen, bathroom and living space.
I previously spent six very happy years living in a privately rented annexe, and I'd love to find something similar again.
My ideal home would be:
- Peaceful and private, away from busy roads.
- Warm, well maintained and unfurnished.
- Centrally heated and double glazed.
- Ideally with a private, enclosed garden for Ziggi.
I'd also consider an annexe with a shared garden, provided the surroundings are genuinely peaceful.
I'm not looking for a house share, lodgings or a live-in arrangement.
Where am I looking?
Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Rutland are my preferred areas.
However, I'm flexible and very happy to consider other rural locations, including further afield for somewhere truly special.
Budget
Up to £1,000 per calendar month, depending on the property and running costs.
I may consider up to £1,100 for an exceptionally peaceful, private property.
A little about Ziggi 🐈
Ziggi is my lovely seven-year-old ginger cat. He's mature, fully house-trained, vaccinated, insured and very well behaved.
He's a much-loved member of my little household!
Finally...
I'm not searching for anything grand or luxurious.
I'm simply looking for a peaceful, comfortable home where I can put down roots, look after my surroundings beautifully and enjoy life.
If you're a private landlord with something suitable — or know somebody who might be — I'd be absolutely delighted to hear from you!
Even if your property isn't currently advertised, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my advert.
