Newly renovated. Lounge with TV. Well-equipped new kitchen. Modern bath & overhead shower. Quality bedding on two beds & guest bed. Mature garden. Patio with table & chairs. Close to Rosslyn Original Inn & grocery stores. Zephirine is a two-bedroom ground floor flat which has just been completely refurbished to a high standard, with new central heating powered by an air source heat pump. The kitchen and bathroom are therefore completely new. It is also my home which will hopefully give you a home-from-home experience. It has its own small garden at the front and a mature rear garden. Neither garden is enclosed and there is an open alley at the side of the building, so would not be suitable for dogs or very small children. The kitchen The kitchen contains a fridge-freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, electric induction hob, a variety of pans (induction-hob compatible), toaster, microwave and a full range of cooking and baking implements (including electric whisk and blender). There are various mugs, glasses and crockery. There is a cafetiere, teapot, tea-float and various jugs and pots. And a whole shelf of herbs and spices you are very welcome to use. The garden French doors open out from the kitchen onto the small patio with a garden table and four foldable chairs. The patio is particularly sunny in the afternoon and evening. There is a herb garden immediately adjacent to the patio so you can pick your own herbs, including fresh mint and chives. The garden contains a variety of shrubs as well as a mature eucalyptus tree. There is also a bench at the bottom of the garden that gets the sun most of the day. You will be here as the plums, currants and gooseberries ripen. You are welcome to help yourself to quantities that are consumed on the premises. The bathroom The bathroom contains a modern wide bath. There is an overhead Victorian style shower with two shower curtains needed to envelope the whole bath/shower area. For each guest, there will be a fresh 100% cotton bath sheet or towel and hand towel. The bedrooms The back bedroom contains a double bed, a sizeable built-in wardrobe and chest of drawers. The mattress is firm and pocket sprung with good padding. The front bedroom has a single bed with a new mattress that again provides orthopaedic support with pocket springs and padding. This room also has a good-quality guest bed set up that could be moved into the living room, if desired. The beds are made with fresh Egyptian cotton bed linen with cotton or cotton-rich duvet covers. Although the beds are made up with anti-allergy pillows, there is a choice of feather-filled pillows as well. The duvets are goose-down but again there are anti-allergy duvet options and various tog ratings, so you needn’t lose sleep. Please let me know in advance should you require anti-allergy bedding. Bedding is washed with anti-allergy liquid (Fairy Sensitive). Both bedrooms have curtains with blackout linings; while not as complete as having black-out blinds, they certainly darken the room. Each bedroom has its own hairdryer. The Living Room The living room has comfortable armchairs and sofa with feather-filled scatter cushions and a TV. There are reading books, games and little coffee tables. An oak table with chairs is useful for writing and games. EPC Rating C (December 2022)
