Homely four bedroom house with garage and garden (Swindon)

This is the Victorian terraced house where we brought up our three children, which we have repurposed to offer short or mid-length lets to anyone (within reason!) who might need temporary self-catering accommodation. It's comfortable, colourful, well-equipped, spacious and informal. There's a big private garden at the back, and a double garage attached to the house.
THE NIGHTLY PRICE OF £135 COVERS UP TO FOUR PEOPLE. So for four people sharing it works out at £33.75 per night each. Minimum length of stay is normally four nights, but we are negotiable.
There's a discount of 10% for a full week, and 24% discount for a 28 day stay or longer. This includes bedlinen and towels, wifi, kitchen/bathroom consumables, and use of all facilities. We charge a modest extra sum per night for each person after four, so the more people staying, the better value it is for everyone!
PLEASE NOTE - the first £40 worth of gas and electricity per booking or per week is included, beyond that will be charged for at cost price. This is based on readings taken at the beginning and end of the booking. IF THERE'S MUCH EXCESS, GUESTS MUST AGREE TO PAY THE EXTRA COST. (But we hope we won't have to!) We provide electric blankets, extra rugs, a few hot water bottles.
The house has four spacious bedrooms (all upstairs) . The main bedroo m has a king-size bed, en-suite with shower, handbasin and loo. The second has a double bed, and the other two bedrooms are both singles. We also have three comfortable folding beds which could be put up in any of the bedrooms or elsewhere in the house depending on preference. Also a travel cot if a baby happened to be among the party. So we could sleep from four people up to seven or eight at a push (you'd have to get on well together!) Bedrooms all have drawers and wardrobes etc.
- Downstairs bathroom with toilet, handbasin and bath with a shower over. Toilet paper, cleaning materials, hand towels, shampoo etc provided.
- Utility room with dishwasher, washing machine, ceiling airer. Two free-standing airers also provided, and a long washing line in the garden. (No tumble dryer, sorry).
- Kitchen is well-equipped with full-sized electric cooker, microwave and the other usual small electricals. Plenty of crockery, cutlery, glassware and cookware. Hand towels, tea towels, dishcloths, cleaning materials, consumables (washing up liquid, kitchen roll etc) provided.
- Initial supply of basic non-perishable foodstuffs included to start you off (tea/coffee/Coffeemate/baked beans/pasta, that sort of thing). Handy general shop round the corner, open long hours. Takeaway menus in kitchen drawer.
-The kitchen also has a woodburner which keeps the heart of the house warm and is great for sitting around in cold weather. Initial supply of logs and coal provided. Open fire in the lounge, plus freestanding electric heater.
- Large conservatory with big wooden table seating up to eight, plus other chairs which make this a sort of second sitting room. It leads into the garage on one side, and straight into the big private garden on the other. Garden furniture in the summer house. A gardener visits fortnightly.
- Sitting room with comfortable 3 piece suite, Smart TV and DVD player, books, games, local information etc. And a proper open fire - great for relaxing around!
- Gas central heating throughout the house. NB First £40 (per week) of gas, electricity and firewood included, beyond that will be charged for. See earlier note.
- Electric blankets on beds in winter, plus a few hot water bottles and extra rugs and blankets.
- Wifi included, so you can keep up to date with your crucial social media and all that sort of thing.
- There's a double garage which can take two average-sized cars, and a large, level, secure, private garden. Any extra cars would have to have separate arrangments made, as there is no free street parking in the area (- residents only).
- Clifton pub down the hill and round the corner, five minutes walk, and the Ashford Road Club even closer which you can visit as a guest. (Limited food in both)
Other pubs and eating places not far away.

The Wyvern Theatre in the town centre is about 20 minutes walk down hill
The Arts Centre in Old Town is about 20 minutes level walk away. Or you can drive and park in the nearby public car parks.
