Sharing spacious home and garden in Easton!

35 yr old busy gal seeks housemate!

The room should be available in July.

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

Finally trying to lay some roots, relocating to Bristol. Love being in Easton and feel like I’m still getting to know the city 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 lift 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.

is furnished, including a well equipped kitchen, but still with plenty of space for you to bring the things you love - extra plants/greenery a bonus!
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 great and gets loads of light, I’m just in the throes of upgrading some of the outdoor furniture!

I’m always 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.

The house has a loft room which I’m currently repaint and re floor this summer. This serves as spare room / WFH spot 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 - ‘normal life’ can continue while I snooze! 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 !
