2 double rooms in vegetarian/vegan houseshare

We have two double rooms available in this beautiful house in the middle of the Summerhill conservation area in central Newcastle 🙂

Both rooms are partly furnished - wardrobe and shelves in each room, wooden desks in one of the rooms. No beds but we could provide a mattress for you to use until you found a bed. The rooms are 500 each and we estimate that bills will be around 130 per person per month (including electricity & gas + fire-wood for wood burner, water, council tax and internet).

You would be sharing this beautiful house with Isa (38), Joe (41), Bella (6) - our lovely furry cat friend - and from February on with our little baby (name TBC), we are currently 7-8 months pregnant. We occupy the roof space of the house with a separate enclosed bathroom. Isa is a lecturer and researcher in political geography and Joe works for the Quakers, a community garden project with people seeking asylum and is a musician. We have both lived in communities for the last 15 years and are looking for 2 people to join us who also value communal living, veg/vegan shared dinners and a quiet and clean space. Ideally it will become home to people who are looking to settle somewhere more long-term (preferably a 6-month minimum).

The house has wooden floors, high ceilings and big windows throughout and is located on a quiet and residential road, bus stop 1-minute walk away and the central station and city center are just 10-15 walk away.

The house spreads over three floors. The available rooms are on the first floor, next to a bathroom (see pictures). Isa and Joe occupy the second floor and roof space of the house with a separate bathroom. On the ground floor is our kitchen, living room and a separate toilet. It’s a charming and cosy house with a running wood burner in the living room!

We would love to cook and clean for each other - maybe each of us 4 could clean the community areas 1x month + cook 1x meal a week? Open to other suggestions 🙂 We order most food in bulk from SUMA Foods (ethical wholesaler) and plan to get a weekly veg box from Riverford Organics (thats all optional of course!).

The two rooms can be rented individually or together by a couple, parent/child etc.

As we are expecting a baby in February 2025, you would also share the house with a newborn - with all of its wonders and occasional (we hope) cries.. something to consider! We are thinking of splitting the bills equally (by 4) until baby arrives and then of course we will pay more to contribute for the baby 🙂

If you are interested in joining us, please send us a little bit about yourself and your experience of living in houseshares.

We look forward to meeting you 🙂
