FLATMATES:
Myself (31yo) and Alasdair (32yo) are both gay professionals and absolutely love our stunning home! We live mostly independent social lives outside of the house, but enjoy creating a homely environment when in; chilling over a cup of tea, sharing dinners, game & movie nights and a pint in the local or our garden in the summer.
I work for in marketing (hybrid) and Alasdair is a doctor, both full on weeks (+ Alasdair some weekends/nights).

YOU:
We want someone who is not seeking their new afters location. We both work in jobs that can take up long hours, on the weekend we want the home to be a sanctuary vibe and not clearing up from the night before!
We are a very clean and organised household, and we need you to feel the same responsibility for our lovely home.
Preferably someone who works Mon - Fri, ideally (partly) from their office, but we are flexible on this for the right person!
We are hoping you will be around our age.

We are looking for someone who will to stay for longer than 1 year as we are rolling into a new fixed term contract.

We’d love it if you are gay too, we’re keen on keeping the house in the community.
Unfortunately no students, pets or couples, sorry!

Bonus points for green thumbs - the garden needs love!
