Haltwhistle House

Looking for someone who is happy to cat sit. We acquired Simon as his previous owner sadly passed away suddenly. He is free to come and go through cat flap. No need to stay around during day as long as he is fed morning and evening and has a bit of company at night. He is very sociable.

Three bedroom house, kingsize bed on 1st floor with family shower room next door. 2nd bedroom on 1st floor used as office/storage not available as bedroom. Daybed in loft which converts to large kingsize has an ensuite with bath and shower. Downstairs toilet/utility. Log burning stove in living room. Storage for bikes or local hire of electric bikes. Garden with lovely views. Parking on drive big enough for 6m van. 10 mins walk into town for shops, pubs, bus and train. We are a "bit fussy" in terms of cleanliness so would like someone equally so. Possible use of our car by negotiation.
