Male Professional seeks Friendly House, etc.

------- About Me -------

My name’s Matt. I’m a 37 year old professional - a proofreader and freelance programmer. I come with a strong reference from my previous landlord of about ten years - who has unfortunately decided to sell.

I like reading, writing, drawing, programming, piano and practicing French. It's my strongly held conviction that cats are better than dogs, though I'm open to debate.

I hope you'll find me an approachable, friendly, good-humored, and relatively sane housemate. I'm clean and tidy, and I'd love to get to know whoever I live with - and I’d like to be able to treat where I live as a home.

------ My Preferences -------

I'm looking for a 1 bedroom flat or a single room in a shared house, with a preference for sharing with other professionals - I'll want to share that council-tax bill. Bills-included offers are especially attractive. I have a maximum budget of £595 a month, and ideally the location will be as close to Canterbury city center as possible - I have an in-person job that I walk to every morning.

That said, I'd like to live in a relatively quiet, comfortable home I can work in during the day, and perhaps share a meal, watch a film, or dig in to a good book in the evening.
