Rather Live Alone? This Could Be For You!

Ideal for someone who’d rather live alone, but without all the expense!

I’m looking for another independent, self-sufficient professional who values their privacy, enjoys their own company and space, and appreciates a bit of peace and quiet.

I’m 42, work full-time and have lived independently for the last 10 years. I work long hours, train regularly and have my own interests, so I’m generally very busy.

I’m naturally private, comfortable in my own company and value having a peaceful home to come back to at the end of the day.

I’m generally out of the house for around 12 hours a day Monday to Thursday and 8 hours on Fridays… so you’ll have plenty of time with the place to yourself. Weekends I’m around more, but usually busy doing my own thing!

I’m polite, considerate and easy to get along with, but equally happy keeping myself to myself. Ideally, I’m looking for someone much the same, comfortable sharing a home without either of us feeling obliged to entertain the other. A friendly hello or an occasional chat is lovely, but there’s no expectation beyond that.

The other resident… Roo 🐶❤️🐾

I share the house with Roo, my gorgeous blue Staffy, who’s affectionate, playful and ridiculously friendly. She’s considerably more sociable than I am and has a lot more time on her hands! 😂

She absolutely loves people, so if you’re sitting on the sofa, there’s a good chance she’ll want to join you. She may also pop her head around your bedroom door to see what you’re up to, although whether you invite her in is entirely up to you.

Roo is very much part of the household, so I’m looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs but doesn’t have any pets of their own, as I don’t have the time to properly introduce and settle another dog into the house.

Her care is entirely my responsibility and is arranged through family or doggy daycare when I’m working. She may occasionally be home on her own, but she’s never left for more than four hours… ever!!! and there’s absolutely no expectation for you to walk her or look after her.

Essentially, I’ll give you plenty of space. Roo will want to be your new best mate. 😂🐾

The House

The room is a furnished double in a clean, comfortable 3-bedroom house, (only 2 bedrooms, 3rd is an office) with a garden, Wi-Fi, full use of the shared living spaces and plenty of on-road parking outside in a quiet cul-de-sac.

Rent is £850 pcm, including all bills and Wi-Fi. Single occupancy only, although occasional overnight guests are absolutely fine. Working from home, office-based or shift work are all equally welcome.

I’m in no particular rush to fill the room. Finding someone who’s genuinely comfortable with this kind of arrangement is far more important than simply finding a lodger.

Ultimately, I’d like this to feel like home for both of us, with everyone, including Roo feeling happy and comfortable.

If this sounds like the sort of arrangement you’re looking for, drop me a message and we’ll go from there.
