From a tax perspective you'd actually be better off keeping a room in your house, keeping all your post going there etc, and then using the rent a room scheme as the rent you get from the lodger would be tax free up to 7k (I think)
You rent the whole house out and don't maintain a room there yourself it's tax return time and that will be painful.
