Double room: sharing spacious home & garden Easton

35 yr old busy gal seeks housemate!

The room should be available late July / early Aug as my current wonderful housemate moves into her own place!

Im originally from Northern Ireland but have lived all over the UK, in manys a flat share over the last few years.

Im laying some roots since relocating to Bristol. Love being in Easton but spend most of the sunny days out in the hills or on the coast.

I think the location is excellent : Public Market, Sweetmart, ALDI all nearby as well as an abundance of parks and an easy route into the city.

THE ROOM: a double bedroom which can be furnished or not - happy to discuss this as I know many of us have gathered furniture over years spent renting. I've previously rented it out unfurnished and been able to offer loft storage space for folk who've got a lot of their own stuff.


THE HOUSE:
Right beside the cycle path and has a secure bike shed.

On road parking (permit free)


Ive got a pretty full kitchen and furnished communal areas, including extra bedspace for visitors, but still with plenty of space for you to bring the things you love - extra plants/greenery a bonus! Prev housemates have used alcoves in the loft for surfboards, furniture etc


I have a bunch of plants and am currently sewing some more blossoms into the garden. But I do not have the greenest fingers…
The garden is spacious and gets loads of light, Im often out there drinking coffee/eating in the sun/tearing out bindweed

I’m happy to share the things I own, including the much loved soda stream and expect that we respect each others possessions.

There are 2 living spaces - meaning it’s easy to have dinner together or to have some separate space of an evening.

Im slowly refurbing the loft room which serves as a spare room (double bed)
and is lush for a bit of yoga or watching the sunset.

I think it’s so important to have enough space to be both sociable and independent when you’re sharing a home as grown ups !

I don’t intend to invite a third housemate which means plenty of space for myself, a tenant, and for friends/family to visit (yours and mine!)

I’m looking for someone who I can enjoy living with (not necessarily being best pals but hitting a good rhythm together) - rather than settling for ‘anyone’ to share bills with.

This means length of stay could depend on our priorities and how well we get on - I don’t plan to be moving for a good few years now. Of course this would mean minimum notice periods and some open communication - I know how exhausting it can be to move/househunt and so I have no intention of springing surprises on anyone.

I work in healthcare so I work shifts and I work a lot. This means I often come in late and frequently work nightshifts, sleeping in the day. Fear not, I am used to earplugs - but what I do need is some understanding that sometimes my ‘morning’ is the evening - so I may need a bit cup of coffee before I can entertain meaningful conversation!

This means I think living with someone who doesn’t WFH would work better.. but I have flatshared with gals who do work from home before and it’s gone swimmingly.

I try to fit in gym / running / cycling / cooking around my shifts and I travel a lot : which can make my days pretty jam packed. I have found that with housemates we can be ‘ships in the night’ for a couple weeks at a time.

However, when I can, I love to make time for coffees catchups and home made negronis.

I expect a clean home but also appreciate that I can be a bit chaotic (think: accidentally accumulating coffee cups or last minute ‘meal prep’ before work). I expect something similar in return and I will be buying a dishwasher (lofty goals!)

Rent will include bills and a fortnightly cleaner.

Give me a shout if you think you’d be a good fit !
