They will have access to the down stairs bathroom and toilet.
The shared laundry is downstairs.
The house yard is 1300 squares of flat ground, it has a vegetable garden, totally fenced with electric drivway gate.
I will be able to provide my work away guests with food while they are working for me, I will have basic food in the house. Then when the work away guests arrive we can discuss food requirements needed.
The kitchen has two fridges, that they can store any extra food items that needs to be kept cold. A large gas stove, plenty of food preparation space, dishwasher.
