Hi and a 'Warm Welcome to You'. Join me for a few minutes while I share some information with you about my home, the location, myself and the sort of person I would like to share my home with.

FIRSTLY...'IMPORTANT'...PLEASE NOTE: I am ONLY interested in sharing with someone who...

2. the room is for a SINGLE OCCUPANCY ONLY...NO COUPLES/FAMILIES.
3. works/study's Full Time...No Full Time Home Working.
4. Individuals who are 23 years old and above.

Home:
A lovely spacious homely ground floor flat with two private, secure spacious garden areas. All together an attractive, well maintained, very comfortable, clean, warm, relaxing and peaceful environment in which to live.
PLUS.....
A BIG BONUS.....from a light bulb blowing to the boiler braking down.....I'm Here to sort it out 'Immediately' so there is never any concerns for you there!

Location:
All in all an EXCELLENT location. EASY and QUICK access to the Science Park (7 min walk), Business Parks or Mini Plant. A few minutes walk away you will find a Vue Cinema Complex, DW Sports Club (swimming pool), Fish & chip shop. Chinese, Indian and other restaurants. A fun bowling alley complex and for footie fans; Kassam Stadium!

Tesco, Sainsbury's, Two Retail Parks plus Templar Square Shopping Centre in Cowley with another couple of Gyms, are all in walking distance or a very short drive/bus ride away.

Drive for 15 minutes and you reach the City Centre or the bus stop is located 2 mins away at the end of the road (plus a letter post box). Local shops (take away, news agents etc) and two local pubs are a 5 minute walk away.

Parking...No Problem! Bike Storage...No Problem! Electric Bike Storage and Charging...No Problem!
There is both (Free) 'Off Street Parking' with 'Newly Built' parking bays outside the flat and on street road parking (no permit required).If you have a car there is 'always' a place to park! If you would prefer a garage this is possible through renting one from Oxford City Council.

Bike Storage: Your bike can be stored under cover in my private, safe and secure garden. Likewise, if you have an electric bike as well as undercover safe, secure storage there are 'Four Power Points' around the gardens to charge your bike!

The Available Room:
The room is light, attractive, clean, warm, comfortable and contains the following: very comfy double bed with an excellent quality mattress (bed linen supplied). 'Very Spacious' built-in (floor to ceiling) double wardrobes also with loads of cupboard storage space for those bulky items like suitcases etc! A New desk and chair. Two New bedside cabinets. Full length wall mirror, various wall pictures, wooden blinds plus curtains and a lovely Oak wooden floor with a mat.

The room is in a very peaceful location, situated at the back of the property, overlooking the two garden areas. Ideal for example if you need to work from home or wish to read/study, or simply want to relax in 'peace and quiet'!

The Kitchen:
is a good size with an area to relax and eat. If you enjoy cooking/baking there is everything you will need in this very well equipped kitchen. Including of course, a large washing machine (9kg), a large condenser sensor tumble dryer (9kg), a microwave, double electric ovens with 8 gas hobs, a fridge/freezer plus various other quality equipment such as a professional juicer and slow cooker!

The Lounge:
is spacious, warm and bright, with a very comfortable large sofa and large oak dinning table with 6 leather chairs. Another pleasant area to unwind and relax.

The Kitchen, Lounge, Bathroom and Gardens are all Shared Areas.

Private Gardens:
For a Flat...there is a unique spacious garden which is in two parts and is enclosed (with tall hedges), private and secure. As I enjoy gardening, the garden areas are well tended (except in winter!) and lovely spaces to enjoy relaxing in. There are two patio's. The large patio has attractive, comfortable garden furniture, a large wood burner. It's a great space if you are partial to going alfresco with a glass of your tipple! :)
There are 4 electric sockets placed around the garden and five wall lamps if wanting to have the garden illuminated during the evening. The other end of the garden there is an arbour (another seating area).

The garden attracts a variety of birds, butterflies, Bees and a lot of toads!

Separate from the garden, there is the laundry area to hang out washing (summer months), weather permitting, in the fresh air and sun shine. Otherwise, laundry is dried in-doors.

A Little About Me:
In the past I loved travelling and have lived and worked in different countries (ie, Greece & USA). After my travels, at a mature age, I decided to go to Uni and acquired a BA (honours) & BSc (honours) degree's. Offered a place on a Master's Course although decided it was time to get on the property ladder and therefore decided to buy and renovate this property which I have lived in as my home since December 2006.

In January 2018, I took the leap and went self employed as a Holistic Health Care Practitioner working in the community.

Since the late 90's I have had an interest in 'Energy Healing'.
I am a qualified/certified (London) Reiki (Teacher/Master) Practitioner and a Quantum Touch Practitioner (founded USA).

I have many interests...to name a few, I love animals and have been a rabbit keeper for 10 years (at one point had 13!) I enjoy reading, art, plays, theatre, music, cooking and eating healthy (I am a vegetarian/no problem with meat eaters), baking, gardening...nature...all things esoteric!...etc...

I enjoy living in a peaceful, relaxed environment and practice meditation and other 'Spiritual' practices.

People who know me describe me as being an interesting, upbeat, happy, well-balanced/grounded, honest, kind and generous person.

If You feel its the 'right place' for You then, Please get in touch with any questions and to arrange a time/day to meet and view.

I look forward to Meeting You!
Warm regards...Jackie :).

Testimony of Dr James Keen, 31 year old resident January 2019 – March 2020

"I moved into Jackie’s place as I had just started a new job at the Oxford Science Park and was finishing writing up my PhD thesis. Jackie's place is in a perfect location for someone working at the Science Park as it's only a seven minute walk away. The place met all my requirements - cosy, peaceful, clean, tidy, nicely decorated, and had all the facilities I needed. Definitely would have continued living in the accommodation if I wasn't moving to wales to start a new job. I am sure our friendship will continue in the future.

Jackie’s been a great person to share the place with. Lots of interactions (often a catch up with a cup of tea or occasionally a glass of wine) whilst respecting privacy and time alone. On the few occasions when my girlfriend came to stay on a weekend she was welcomed warmly.

I have liked living with Jackie in her flat and I was happy to provide this testimony as a positive recommendation to those looking for a great place to stay in this location."

Testimony of Roy, a 60 year old resident (April 2020-November 2020) and Public Affairs Consultant.

"Very comfortable and clean accommodation, and a sufficiently spacious room to be a bedroom-study. I worked easily from home every day, with the convenience of a quiet, secluded garden to take breaks in, and plenty of local parkland to take a walk through on your doorstep. Jackie is a generous and kind housemate. She makes it easy to find a balance between privacy and company, respectful when you want to be alone, but open to sharing a meal, a glass of wine, or just a cuppa. Respectfulness being a two-way street. Thoroughly enjoyed the haven I found at Jackie's, and still keep in contact with her. ROY.
