You would be sharing with me & my partner (a camera assistant), though he is away a lot for work and work long hours so it’s mostly me and our friendly and curious female 3 year old rescue cat Smudge. I’m a professional working in the music industry, live events and higher education, partly working from home. I enjoy live music (rock, indie, alt-pop, post-punk), fine and performing arts, home cooking, eating out, sci-fi movies, Sunday roast at the pub, cocktail and wine bars, cycling, walking/hiking and rowing, train travel amongst others things. I care about our local community, social justice and doing my bit towards a better world.

Folkestone: is a great little upcoming town with direct access to london via high speed train (45 Min to Stratford, 57 to Kings Cross), a great community vibe, loads of independent cafes shops and restaurants, a lot of art, a large pebble beach and even a sandy beach, minutes away from the South Downs and a lot of cliff walks and hikes, and easy access to the continent via the Eurotunnel (just outside the town) or ferries in Dover 20 min drive away.

What I’m looking for: A single person between 27-50yrs old, ideally working at home no more than 2/3 days a week, non-smoker, sociable but independent, clean and tidy, and ideally a music fan as I do listen to music/the radio in the flat. Asking rent is £625/month including ALL bills.
