PhD looking for ensuite room in chilled house

I am looking for a relaxed place to live preferably beside a park or somewhere leafy. Somewhere quiet. I am easy going and I enjoy cooking, I don't mind socialising in the house but also value my own space.

I from Dublin and am doing a PhD in the University of Sheffield, researching the ecology of urban allotments, so I am into nature and all that stuff.

Also my boyfriend is from Dublin and he comes over every second weekend or so, so I am not moving in as 'a couple' but being able to have him over for a few days each month is important to me.
