Ripon and surrounding area

I am looking for a quiet place within reach of the Ripon, Killinghall, Boroughbridge area, whilst I work for a local care agency (fully enhanced DBS!) and study.

Occupation would usually be from Sunday or Monday evening to Thursday or Friday morning. My longer shifts usually run from 7am to around 9pm, during downtime around shorter shifts I will mostly be studying.

For preference I'd like a small double room, with a desk and an en-suite - however I am happy to consider any options. Rural, village or quiet urban areas, parking is essential.

I am an emotionally mature person, happily self-contained and willing to muck in or be the invisible lodger. I am a good cook, practical, tidy, considerate and love an intelligent conversation.
I would prefer to live with similar, but again, will consider all options!
