Big and Bright Double Room by the Beach

Hi there! I’m looking for a considerate and easygoing lodger to share my peaceful, light-filled top-floor flat in Musselburgh. The room is available in my two-bedroom home on a quiet, dead-end street with plenty of parking and easy access to both nature and city life.

PLEASE NOTE: Photos are of the correct room, but the walls are currently being repainted white as I type! This will be completed in time for viewings.

*About the Flat*
The flat is bright and airy throughout, with a lovely shared back garden full of birdsong — a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening wind-down. You’ll be just steps from Fisherrow Links, the beach, and the River Esk, and a short stroll from North High Street and the town centre.

You’ll have a large double bedroom that gets loads of natural light and has a distant view of Arthur's Seat. It’s currently furnished with a double bed and a mattress purchased last year. There’s underbed storage, a large chest of drawers, a built-in bookshelf, and a stand-alone one. There would be room for a wardrobe or a desk if you would like them, but these are not provided.

We’ll share the bathroom and a comfortable, open-plan kitchen/living area. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas hob, oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, toaster, and extras like a crockpot, bread machine, and blender.

*About Me*
I’m a writer in my free time and work professionally in film and television. I mostly work from home but travel quite a bit for work and pleasure, so you’ll often have the flat to yourself.

I love meeting new people, but I'm also an introvert — I really value a peaceful home and enjoy companionable quiet as much as a good chat over dinner. Ideally, I’m looking for someone who is mature, tidy, respectful, and values their own space as much as they respect others’.

I'm also an animal lover and potentially open to calm, friendly pets, so if you have a well-behaved furry companion, let’s chat!

*About the Neighbourhood*
My building and street have a great, friendly little community group chat where we like to coordinate things like beach walks, bbqs, and swims together. We look after each other's pets and plants -- good vibes! :)

*Location & Transport*

A few minutes' walk to the River Esk, North High Street, and Musselburgh town centre

*The Details*

If this sounds like a good fit, please drop me a message and tell me a little about yourself. I'm happy to answer questions or arrange a viewing or a video chat to show you around.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Please Note: Photos of kitchen/living room are from when I first moved in -- the room has since been re-painted, and the table in the photo has been replaced with a butcher block island/bar table and two chairs.
