I'm looking for a good-size double ...

I'm looking for a good-size double room to rent in a house/spacious flat with a live-in landlord (or a couple or family), probably someone in their mid-thirties or older.

I'd like a sense of having my own space and a decent amount of space to do yoga and work without feeling cramped. I would need a firm-ish mattress (I have one I could bring with me if needed).

I would like to find somewhere in Redland, Clifton, Clifton Wood, Cotham, Kingsdown, Bishopston or Westbury Park, or possibly Westbury-on-Trym, Stoke Bishop, Henleaze, Southville, Montpelier or St Werburghs. Ideally with some kind of bike storage or somewhere fairly secure to keep a bike, even if it’s outside (I don’t have a car). I would like to live in a peaceful environment, including quiet road and neighbours.

As a shade-loving creature who likes to stay cool, I'd prefer a room that doesn't get a lot of sun. I also love garden and basement flats.

I wouldn't mind the odd bath but not essential.

I will happily live with a cat / cats, and maybe a dog.

My budget is £750 to £900/month including bills.

I love cooking – and a glass or two of rioja - and would love to sometimes cook for you. I also enjoy a good chat as well as having my own space and being respectful of others.

I’m friendly, clean and tidy (would like to live with people who value this), environmentally-minded. I hope to offer warmth, humour and lively conversation and to contribute as part of the household. I'd love to live with someone / people I connect with in some way.

My work is as a freelance grant fundraiser working with small charities, mainly with a local refugee charity. I mainly work from home part-time hours but like to get out at least twice a day, usually more.

Things I enjoy: having a good laugh with friends, audiobooks (love Deborah Levy, Elizabeth Strout, Rachel Cusk, also developed recent obsession with the Mitford sisters), podcasts (history and politics mainly, also psychoanalysis!), swimming at the lido and the lake, a good TV drama (loved The Bear and Severance), yoga classes and feldenkrais, spelt toast with butter and tahini, bonding with furry beasts. I like to do some house sitting sometimes to get a change of scene.

I've recently come out of a longterm relationship (we still own a flat together in Redland) and plan to be a lodger for a year or two while I sort out my financial situation and make longer term plans.

Added perks: I’m a member of the lido and Henleaze lake and can take guests! I’m also pretty frugal with heating etc (although not a fan of barely heated places - I like to be able to get cosy).
