I’m looking for a housemate who is looking for a communal living arrangement where we actively work together, contributing our time and skills for the group. The rent includes all bills, we share all evening meals and ask £50 to cover a month's meals. We share all roles and can either take turns cooking or I'm happy to cook if you want to contribute to the group in another role, like cleaning or gardening. We share an evening meal with the group every evening where possible. I'm ideally looking to live with someone who is passionate about volunteering and being involved in the community.

I currently live with a Bulgarian vet, she liberal and fluent in English. I’m a female scientist, mid 30s, I’m involved with the local parish council and other volunteering in the community.

The room/home:
• A beautiful quiet private room with double bed
• The house is 4 bedrooms, has a comfy living room and a large kitchen with all amenities and safety equipment, and lots of houseplants throughout the home.
• Large garage to store any items, including bicycles etc
• Small, terraced garden with trees and grass, and a small vegetable plot (you would be welcome to grow your own food if you want) and a wildlife pond to increase biodiversity.
• Home to a cat
• Book filled home, as we are all passionate readers
• Beautiful rural location, with excellent public transport links to the centre of Swindon and Oxford by bus every 15min, so ideal if you want to live in the peaceful countryside and commute into the city. I also have a driveway if you drive a car.
• 10min walk to local farm shops and the sustainability hub, where you can obtain books, crafting materials and other items, they also run a repair café.
• This is an eco-house with solar panels, try to minimise our consumption and recycle.
• Deposit is 1 months rent, rent is paid monthly in advance. All bills, including fibre optic broadband is included.

I’m happy to answer any of your questions and would want to meet a few times before deciding if we would be compatible to live together (this can be over Zoom if that’s more convenient).

If this advert is still up then the room is still available, I’m located in Watchfield SN6 (roughly 10 miles from Swindon) but the S6 bus is every 15min direct to Oxford and Swindon, so it's easy to commute if needed.

Room is currently available.

Rent is negotiable based on your situation, so if this is a barrier then let me know.
