Double room in quirky, comfortable Wigston home.

Double room in quirky Wigston home — looking for the right person

I'm offering a spacious, furnished double room in my clean, modern and slightly quirky home in Wigston, Leics. I'm looking for a **full-time lodger**, and most importantly, I'm looking for the right person to live with — someone where there is a good fit and we both enjoy the arrangement.

I've had lodgers on and off for many years, and I know that compatibility matters much more than simply finding someone who needs a room!

About the home;

* A spacious furnished double bedroom with a comfortable king-size bed and storage.
* Wi-fi and bills included.
* A warm house with central heating and all the usual mod cons.
* Modern bathroom, shared with one adult.
* Large kitchen with good facilities for cooking and meal preparation, including your own fridge/freezer space.
* Vegetarian household — no meat or fish in the kitchen.
* Dishwasher, tumble dryer and garage storage for a bicycle.
* Open-plan seating area and dining room.
* A large, private, established garden, with scope to grow things if you're so inclined.
* Easy, free street parking.
* Good bus links into Leicester and the city centre, including the universities; around 15 minutes into town by bus.
* One affectionate cat, who can easily be kept out of your room if you're not a cat person.

Your room has;

*1 comfortable, king size bed.
*1 wardrobe
*1 desk and chair
*large storage in bay window seat.
*small 2 drawer cabinet
*several shelves
*under bed drawer space.
*2 lamps
*1 fan (for heatwaves!)

About me;

I'm friendly, and can be sociable and chatty, but I also really value privacy, independence and having space to myself. I'm looking for someone who is comfortable with that sort of balance and is willing to communicate and negotiate needs.

I am neurodivergent, and have a chronic illness/energy-limited condition and work from home, so my energy and routine aren't always predictable. I'm therefore particularly looking for someone considerate and self-sufficient, who is happy to get on with their own life as well as sharing a home.

I also have a creative and unconventional life and work, involving LGBTQ+ community and sex positivity, so this isn't a particularly conventional household. I'm looking for someone open-minded, non-judgemental and comfortable with people being themselves.

A few important things;

* No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property, including outside.
* The household is vegetarian, so no meat or fish in the house.
* I'm looking for someone who is genuinely LGBTQ+ friendly and left-leaning politically.
* This is a home rather than a party house, and I'm looking for someone considerate about noise, visitors and shared space.
* Not suitable for a couple.
* I'm primarily looking for a full-time lodger, but I'm open to discussing a Monday–Friday arrangement if that would be a particularly good fit.
* I'm open to a six-month initial arrangement with the possibility of continuing if we're both happy.

Interested?

Please tell me a little about yourself, what you're looking for and **why you think we'd be a good fit living together**. Please show me that you've actually read the advert!

I'm much more interested in finding the right person than filling the room as quickly as possible, so I'm very happy to have one or more chats before/after arranging a viewing. We can talk on the phone, meet in person, or do a Zoom call and virtual tour if that's easier.

Thanks for reading, Beck 😊
