Double Room with Ensuite in Well-Located Flat

Hi! I’m looking for a new flatmate to join me in my lovely two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat on the edge of Penylan/Roath. The tenancy would start on 29th November 2025, initially for 12 months.

The flat has:
- A bright, homely living room
- A well-equipped kitchen
- Two bathrooms – you have an ensuite
- Loads of storage in your room (built-in wardrobes + full-length rail)
- Private off-road parking (one space per person available)
- A shared green space out front

It’s a quiet, small block of flats with friendly neighbours, and in a great spot – about a 10–15 minute walk to Roath Rec and Wellfield Road, and close to several supermarkets. There’s also a Gym Group and a David Lloyd nearby, and it’s easy to get into town by bus or bike.

I’ve been here for 3 years, so the flat is already furnished with a TV, coffee table, lamps, and everything you’d need in the kitchen (Nespresso, air fryer, utensils etc.). Happy to share as long as we’re both respectful of each other’s things.

I’d like to live with someone who’s friendly, easygoing and happy to share chores and keep the place feeling like a home. My current flatmate and I have a good balance with cleaning, splitting shared household items (like bin bags etc.), and just generally looking after the place together. I’d like to keep this going!

A bit about me:

I’m 26, originally studying at Cardiff Uni and now working remotely in public affairs and policy. I’m usually busy most weekends seeing friends or going away, and I DJ occasionally around Cardiff. I love cooking and I go to the gym a regularly, so if you're a foodie or gym-goer too, great! If not, no worries – I get on with most people.

My ideal flatmate would:
- Work from the office at least 3 days a week (as I WFH in the living room 9:30–6)
- Be happy to contribute to a relaxed living environment
- Appreciate a clean but lived-in space (not spotless, but not a mess either)

A few notes:
- Partners staying over is totally fine, but the flat isn’t suitable for couples full-time (per the landlord and contract)
- I have a girlfriend who stays once or twice a week

Although this is quite a bit of info, after a few years of shared living I’ve learned what makes things work well. The flat is great, cosy and in a good location, and the rent is very reasonable – so I’m just looking for someone who fits nicely into the current setup.

Rent: £520/month (for the bigger room) - includes water rates
Council Tax Band: E (about £100/month each)
Other bills: Around £80/month
Total with bills: around £700 a month (to be confirmed)

If this sounds like somewhere you’d like to live, please drop me a message, and we can grab a coffee or a pint to see if we click!
