The House / Room

***Available start of December but there is room for some flexibility***

Looking for a lodger in my lovely Totterdown House: a separate living room and kitchen, good sized tv with logged in subscriptions inc Disney, Netflix and prime, a large cooker, dining room table, a heated clothes dryer, bathroom with bath and underfloor heating. Most importantly – a very cuddly cat who likes company around the house. For outside: outdoor furniture in summer including a place to store bikes and hang up clothes as well as festoon lights.

The house is in the middle of Totterdown, close to the park. There is a fantastic brunch café at the end of the road – Sundial kitchen and an incredible pizza takeaway place - Laura's Pizza as well. 5 mins walk away is Bakehouse bakery and Coffee shop, Oxford Pub, Carouse wine bar, Bank Restaurant, and a small Tesco, an independent green grocer’s, Victoria Park and flash point climbing wall. Temple Meads Station is just a 13-minute walk away, making commuting and travel incredibly convenient. There are also two Dott scooter bays within 30 seconds walk for easy access across the city. Parking in the area is free but to park outside the house requires you to be a confident parallel parker I would say!

The room is bright white and will come furnished with a double bed, comfy mattress and a large wardrobe and faces out onto the garden. It will have space for some furniture to be brought in too. If there is a preference to bring all your own furniture and have the room completely unfurnished, this can also be arranged and discussed upon viewing. The room is 870pcm inc all bills. I think the house / room would best suit single occupant but I am open to the discussion of a partner moving in at a later date once there has been some time to consider / get to know them.

Looking for someone clean, considerate and tidy but I also want the person to feel at home – use the living room, eat downstairs and not isolate or be scared to make mess. It be nice to share the tasks of vacuuming, wiping down and clean the kitchen and bathroom and keep the spice feeling welcoming for guests. I also am hoping to find someone who is full time employment.

I’m mid 30s, female and work as a graphic designer in TV and Film. I’ve lived in Bristol for about 6 months in this house with a friend (who has now moved in with her partner). For the next 6 months my upcoming schedule is that I will be working away for most of the week and return for a Friday – Sunday weekend. In the house I enjoy having a laugh together and a bit of peace and chill time like watching things together.

If you've got this far you should know about the queen bee of the house, the 2nd housemate which is Lachie. She is my black and white domestic shorthair cat and a total joy! She is quite timid with new people and a bit of a scaredy cat but warms up quick and is VERY cuddley! She will hang out in the same room as you and make great company if your working from home. For my upcoming contract my plan is to put her food out to cover her mon - tuesday and then a friend / cat feeder friend will pop in and see her every wednesday for cuddles and to work in my room for a bit. If your used to cats, not allergic and up for feeding her then she will only require a top up of fresh water every other day and a tin of food in the evening. She gets her breakfast from the automatic feeder and I will be the one to deal with her litter at the weekends. She goes out but never goes far because she is used to not having a cat flap. I'd really like someone to give her company but also tell me if they see anything wrong with her health or if she goes missing and doesnt come in at night.
