Cosy Room - Women Preferred

Hello potential housemate!

I have a lovely three-bedroom home on the New Biggin Hall estate. I'm a live-in landlord who works at sea 8 months of the year, living in the single room when I'm home, and renting out both double bedrooms.

I'm a relaxed and social landlord who loves creating a warm, welcoming home. When I'm in the UK, I'm involved in community activism - I run Women's Streetwatch Newcastle UK (weekend night shifts keeping women safe) and organize events and protests as a lesbian feminist activist. I also love gardening, walking the dogs, badminton, cinema, and writing. I LOVE having friends over for cosy dinners - think good food and conversation rather than wild parties! I'd love a housemate who enjoys that vibe and might join for occasional shared meals or kitchen chats, but there's no pressure if you prefer your own space. I only ask that you're kind to the animals and considerate of others. If you value a friendly, chilled atmosphere and want a proper home rather than just a room, this could be perfect.

Your Room:

Large sunny double bedroom with natural wood floors, hanging plants, and fairy lights. Shared bathroom and kitchen.

Living Arrangements:

When I'm home (4 months/year): I live in the house
When I'm away (8 months/year): A pet sitter moves into my room to care for the animals
Your room: The large double is yours for as long as you're renting - you'll have no pet care responsibilities, but if you love pets, that will be a bonus for us both!

The Household:

Currently 2 small dogs (chihuahua and pomeranian) and 3 cats. One or both dogs may be living with my partner while I am away, so it'll likely be 3 cats and possibly 1 small dog.
