Double room in Fishponds house

Furnished double room available from the 1st August 2026. A good sized room with lots of natural light and lovely view out the window (see photo). - £700 inclusive of all bills. Suit someone who is working (prefer no WFH or minimal WFH 1 day a week) or student full-time on campus. Non smoker/Non Vapor. Two shared living rooms downstairs so plenty of space and T. V. in both rooms.

Looking to share with someone who is easy going, clean and tidy, respectful, a good communicator (not always easy I know!) and ideally vegetarian. I try to live sustainably as much as I can (eg recycling, non toxic cleaning products, saving energy/resources where possible) and would be good to share with someone with similar ideals.

The house is just a few mins walk round the corner from Eastville lake and the Frome walkway. Its lovely to have nature on the doorstep with only a 10/15 min direct bus into the city centre. Best of both worlds! Few mins walk from bus stop and close to links with the M4 via M32. The garden has a patio area which is great in the summer.

A bit about me.... I’ve been an Acupuncturist for the last 15 years. When not working I love being in nature and walks, cinema, theatre, time with friends/family, pilates, music and radio, films, watching a good Netflix or Prime drama, reading, cooking (especially nutritious plant based food). I like to laugh and to share laughter. Equality, kindness and compassion are important to me in life. I have a mostly simple lifestyle and with the work I do need time to restore and recharge. Also sociable, enjoy connecting/conversation and having a chat/cuppa or watching a film if it happens in a spontaneous way. Be good to share with someone with similar lifestyle.

My partner Sarah (who lives in Wales) is temporarily living with me in Bristol due to recovery from health issues. Also in the house is Sarah's cute and mischievous 1 1/2 year old cockapoo Benji - (so you would need to be ok with dogs!). I’ve been a lodger myself and have had some lovely experiences and some not so good ones so have an understanding of what works and what doesn’t but again its an individual thing I guess. Currently have a lodger who is on a research stay for 6 months (until mid/end July)

Look forward to hearing back from some lovely people!
