Double bedroom in quiet and friendly apartment

I’m 42 from Northern Ireland and I have just moved to South Ockendon. I am looking to find a friendly person to share my home with.

Things that may be important about my home:

I’ve recently moved in and have got the place to a nice standard, which you can see in the pictures. It’s fully furnished and has everything you need to live well, and someone who lives here is welcome to share. There is a communal garden and parking is also available. The apartment is on the first floor and has 10 steps and no wheelchair access and no lift.

The area is quiet yet Ockendon station is 8 mins walk, with the train going direct to Fenchurch street and Southend. Upminster is 1 stop away and connects to the District Line. You can also get the bus to Upminster, which goes past the front door. The 370 bus runs to Lakeside shopping centre and Romford (Elizabeth line).

Bills are:

Electricity - Varies depending on use. I’m using around £100 a month when it’s cold and less when it’s not (Electric heating). This is likely to go up when another person is here. Will be less in Summer.
Water - £16.50 each
Broadband - £12.50 each
Council tax - £62.50 each

(Total = £92 + electricity)

The bedroom itself is fairly straight forward, and a bit of a blank canvas. You would be welcome to decorate as you wish. There is limited furniture in the room, and I would be happy to explore getting what you need to make the space work for you.

Things about me that may be important:

I’m a therapist and work both in the community and online, from home. Please note that I need to use the living room for work 9:30am to 2:15pm on Tuesday and 9:00am to 12:30pm on Thursday. I personally do not drink, smoke or do drugs and get on better with similar minded people. I don’t mind people who drink socially, however if it is a bedrock of your life or personality, we are unlikely to be suitable. When not working you are likely to find me with friends, out walking, swimming and cooking / baking. I enjoy TV, films and going to theatre and movies. Holidays are important to me and I often like to get away.
