Sunny West End large double in calm prof. Home!

Hello! ☀️

I’m Ellie, looking for a flatmate to share a bright, sunny West End flat and create a calm, friendly, grown up home — relaxed, welcoming and easy to live in.

It’s a calm, independent home where we each have our own lives but enjoy some shared time and a friendly atmosphere — somewhere that feels easy to live in rather than just somewhere to sleep.

✨ About the flat

The room available is the larger bedroom — spacious enough for a large bed plus desk area, with a big wardrobe and lots of south facing natural light onto Lawrence st. It sits at the end of a corridor in a separate section of the house to the kitchen and living room next to the bathroom, so it feels very private and separate from the main living space.
The flat itself is top floor, south-facing and incredibly bright with an incredible view over the university buildings.

The living room is huge and filled with light most of the day — a really lovely space for reading, cooking, or having coffee while the sun comes in. It stays warm and cosy even in winter.

There are two storage cupboards as in most Glasgow flats! Both big enough.

My room is smaller and closer to the living room and kitchen, so the available room feels like a bit of a peaceful retreat within the flat. It also faces byres road - yours is facing a quiet, traffic calmed street.

The room is available from the 23rd (rent payable from that date). I’ll be moving in on the 31st and bringing things across gradually during that week.

🌿 About me

I’m 36 and work for NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, supporting organisational and leadership development for the new virtual hospital. I also run a small coaching practice supporting people and creative communities to build skills and sustainable ways of working.

I love my job — it involves lots of workshops, coaching and conversations — and I’m generally sociable but really value calm downtime at home to support my work and wellbeing.

Outside work I enjoy:
- running 🏃‍♀️
- solo jazz, house and Lindy hop dancing 💃
- making music (folk fiddle, piano and electronic — music used to be my career) 🎻
- cooking and sharing meals 🍲
- reading 📚
- volunteering with grassroots community spaces 🤝

I’m new to Glasgow and excited to make the most of the city.

🏠 Home life

I’m hoping to create a home that feels warm, respectful and grown-up — relaxed and welcoming rather than a party flat. Need my rest these days!

Typical rhythms:
- cooking proper meals a few nights a week (happy to share if you’re around!)
- evenings out at classes, gigs or running club
- good conversation when we’re both home
- quiet nights and good sleep (I’m usually 10pm–7am and sleep is the backbone of my life! I love it, I need the quiet.)
- independent lives alongside a friendly and grown up home atmosphere

I work from home occasionally (around once a week).

I’m also sober — completely fine if you drink, but I’d prefer alcohol not to be a regular at-home thing.

👥 Guests & shared space

I’m very happy for the flat to feel welcoming — friends and guests are absolutely welcome from time to time. Equally, I’m hoping to keep the flat feeling like a home shared between two people rather than an unofficial couple household. So, to check in before guests come over and make sure it’s cool with the other person would be my expectations.

I’d ideally like someone whose lifestyle is independent and single. I’ve found the nicest balance is when both flatmates still feel equally at home in the space.

✨ What I value at home
- intentional kindness and consideration that drive proactive tidiness. Care for the space = care for each other!
- a calm, cosy environment. Books and radio before TV and laptops :)
- shared spices and basics, but independent lives
- clean without being obsessive
- people who look after themselves and their wellbeing
- my smol subscription!

This isn’t a party flat — more a peaceful base to come home to. But occasional dinner parties would be lovely, as would a low key house warming!
🔎 Who I’m looking for
Ideally someone who:
- is a working professional with a similar weekday rhythm
- enjoys chats and hanging out over hiding in their room
- is tidy and respectful of shared space
- is generally quiet at night
- works mostly outside the home (the space works best this way)
- is single or living independently day-to-day
- wants a genuine home rather than just a room

Not suitable for students or couples, I’m afraid.

If this sounds like a good fit, drop me a message telling me:
- a bit about you
- what you enjoy outside work
- your schedule/working pattern
- what a good home environment looks like for you

…and kick it off with the word Banana so I know you’ve read this 😊

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I’m hoping to find someone who’s excited to have a comfortable, grown-up home in the city. 🌿

Conversations / calls week beginning march 10th. We may be able to view the flat again from the 14th but can't guarantee this.

Oh yeah! Council tax band c and bills anticipated to be average for Glasgow tenament buildings
