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 with self-contained ensuite in loft. Family shower room recently installed on 1st floor and 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 from bus and train. We are a "bit fussy" in terms of cleanliness so would like someone equally so. Possible use of our small car by negotiation. Photos to be updates as we have decorated the ground floor and loft since first joining this site
