Professional looking for House Share in NCL

Hello, I'm Daniel! I'm a professional who has recently begun working full-time in the city centre, and I'm looking to move from my current flat, quite far from NCL, into a shared house near the city centre to shorten my commute, and be in the right place to meet new people and do new activities.

For a bit of background, I'm a local to the area who graduated from Northumbria Uni, and since then I've been working full-time in my field of study, recently moving to a city centre position.

I'm hoping that I can move within walking distance of my workplace to keep my commute super short and free up extra time in the day for hobbies and social hangouts - I currently spent around 2-3 hours a day commuting from home to work and back! Ideally I'd be able to walk to work from my new place, although being near to a metro stop is a good alternative.

During the day I'll be out at work for most of the week, but my flexible working options and set of computer focused hobbies means I'm definitely looking for a place where I can build a proper desk set-up!

In the evenings after work I am definitely interested in hangouts with other flatmates, I also enjoy playing and running table-top games like D&D and I'm happy to share that too if there is interest!

My current workplace offers some flexibility of hours to fit viewings during my lunch break or leaving work slightly early, and I have decent availability during the weekends too!
