Room in big friendly vegetarian house share

Hello hello!

We've got one room available in beautiful sociable house full of good food, laughter, and 7 of us in our mid/late-20s & 30s. Our place is a proper home, not just a place to sleep, so we’re looking for someone who’s up for living communally with us. Our lovely flatmate is moving out after 3 and a bit years and we're looking for someone new.

There’s a big living room with two couches and a slightly out of tune piano, a big kitchen and dining room with gas hobs and a grassy garden. The house is up a hill looking out over some of the best views in Brighton. We're on a very idyllic street looking out over some woods above Bevendean and onto the South Downs, with super convenient access to some amazing greenspaces. It’s a 15 minute walk from Moulsecoombe station, 40 minute walk into town (or 15 on a bike!) and 10 minutes to the next bus stop at Lewes road. (Mithras house / Brighton uni). There is also a bus that goes up the hill every 30 min.

The only absolute must for someone moving in is that we take it in turns to cook vegan meals for each other on evenings, so you’d have to be up for that. You don't have to be a vegetarian or vegan but we don't cook or store meat or fish here. We have a cooking rota and ask that people sign up roughly 3 evenings a month to cook. You get to enjoy a bounty of delicious vegan meals on the other nights! We also share a cleaning rota to make sure the space stays tidy.

We don’t have a TV in the shared living spaces, but we do have a projector for watching films on, and there’s a garage we can store bikes in. We all work various day jobs ranging from gardeners, early years practiotioners, and charity workers. It tends to be quietish in the evenings with our socialising based around shared meals (but you don't have to be there for every meal!), or hanging out aroung each other in the living room. At the weekends we’re up for making merry be that in a pub, dance floor or boogying round our living room. A lot of us are quite musically minded so expect some funny noises coming out of the house :-)

The room is a double room is on the second/top floor at the front of the house facing the woods and the South Downs, and is available at £627 a month from 1st December 2024 (although some flexibility as to moving in dates).
It's a small room, with lots of storage and fits a desk and a bed and almost space for yoga.
This includes all bills and we use some of that money to bulk buy food essentials (oat milk, coffee, etc), toilet paper and cleaning products for the house. We have a good relationship with the private landlord.

If you're interested in the house and want to see the room send me a message saying something about yourself and your situation and I’ll get back to you & work out a suitable time for a viewing. Happy house hunting, even if you don’t end up living with us we hope you find something good for you!
