Double room available 1st October

Hello, I'm Lucy, and I'm looking for a new flatmate to share my bright happy home with.

I work Mon-Fri for a homelessness charity and occasionally work from home. In the evenings after work I like to cook and relax, do a bit of gardening or I meet up with friends. 

I spend my weekends going to gigs, going for big walks or visiting pals out of town. I like to travel and will go away a few times a year. I'm looking at going to Canada for an extended stay next year. 

The entire 2 bed flat was freshly painted, a new kitchen installed and new carpets and flooring throughout prior to us moving in a year ago. It's super fresh, clean and cosy!

It is unfurnished but you would just have to find furniture for your bedroom. 

There are several parks, shops, cycle paths, bus links and Portobello beach within walking distance. There are two swimming pool/gyms 10 mins walk away. Porty has lots of festivals throughout the year and an awesome community feel to it.

I have some houseplants and really like nature and gardening. There is a private garden at the back and I have been growing vegetables and flowers. A hedgehog family has moved in and a wee frog couple moved into the tiny pond. There’s a decent patch of grass under a big apple and plum tree to soak up the sun on. 

The area is very quiet and so I do my best to respect this but I like to have pals round for dinner and a few drinks occasionally, and my laugh can definitely travel. 

I like to keep the place clean and tidy and would expect the person who I live with to share all cleaning duties.

There is lots of free parking and my flatmate has no issues parking her car ever. I am hoping to get my own soon too. 

I have a wee padlocked cupboard under the stairs to securely store bikes if you have one. 

I am open minded and unsure who exactly I am looking for yet, but if you would like to view the place please send me a message with some description of yourself and I'll get back to you to arrange a day/time. 

Sorry but no students purely so we can share council tax bills. Would prefer to not live with a dude just from past experiences and being lumped with all the cleaning. Like I say though I’m open to meeting people and seeing if we could be a good fit. LGBTQ+ friendly.

Room available from 1st October but I am very eager to get someone confirmed soon to save me stressing on my holiday next week!
