Looking for a room or house share

I'm newly employed as an archaeologist near Stansted Airport and looking for accommodation within 20 minutes cycle of my office. I'm sociable but happy to keep to myself, I like cooking and reading and will be working outdoors most days. I would like a comfortable double room, somewhere in the house to sit comfortably and read or do crafts, and somewhere to stick my bicycle (can be outside). I am happy with housemates/landlord of any age or type, I get on with many types of people. I would look to have a friend come and stay a night with me every now and again, so long as that was no inconvenience. Very happy with pets if you have them!
