Our interesting studio apartment will be available to rent after 7 June. It is situated over our garage, which is attached to the main house on our property. The main house is a semi-historic 1910 villa, but the apartment was built in 2018.

While I describe it as a studio, it has a small separate bedroom. This fits a queen sized bed, and has a deep floor to ceiling built in shelf, but won’t take a great deal else. The main room is very large and has an attached toilet and sink. It also has a kitchenette, which has a two burner induction hob, a fridge/freezer, a small dishwasher and a bench with a sink and cupboards.

Currently supplied in the main room are a small couch, a glass tv stand, a pop-up table with stools, and a single bed. We do have other additional furniture, but no larger bed. A shower for the studio is on a small room off the landing on the stairs to the studio, only used by the occupant of the studio.

Some minor appliances and crockery/cutlery may also be supplied. Laundry facilities are shared with the main house.

As the studio is a new build, it is double glazed and fully insulated. It has radiators and a ceiling fan.

The studio would probably suit a single person best, although a couple could work. Although there is off street parking, it is limited for the time being due to ongoing projects. The property is semi-rural, but only 5 minutes from Onerahi shops. There is no designated outdoor area for the studio, but the property is large and there are many shared outdoor spaces.

The rent includes power, water and fibre internet. The main house is being renovated, so there can be noise from this during work hours. Otherwise it is a quiet household.

Ideally, you will be quiet, clean, and employed. No smokers. Unfortunately, no pets are permitted as a general rule as there are already two dogs, two cats, and twelve chickens, none of whom are particularly relaxed.

Please feel free to ask any questions if I have forgotten anything.

Four of us live in the main house, three adults and a six-year-old. We are mostly quiet. We work from home so are usually in. Our two large dogs and one of the cats also live with us. We spend most of our leisure time working on the house. Occasionally this makes a racket, but usually we are quiet. There is also a cottage on the property with one adult and our other cat.
