Hi

I'm the current housemate looking to find someone to take the single room in the house. It's a first floor flat with bedrooms next to each other up the stairs. It's available from mid May/June 2026. My current flatmate is leaving end of April.

House is cozy with a spacious living room and big windows, so it's very bright especially during the summer. There's shower, washing machine, little storage under the stairs as well, fully equipped kitchen. There's also central heating with modern boiler installed. Landlord is a very nice guy and always comes to fix or help with whatever is needed. I'm up for any suggestions for the living room. We can rearrange stuff and maybe get a small sofa, that's absolutely fine.

Outside there's also a bike shed if you got a bicycle to store and we've got gated parking, however, I'm using the designated parking space. Extra car might possibly fit somewhere, but I would need to speak with landlord about this, so this is not guaranteed.

I'm pretty social but I also value my time alone. I'm up for doing stuff together, and I'm always happy to help with anything, driving, talk or chit chat.

I'm pretty quiet (apart from when I play my e drums or sing to some songs), take care of the house and by 11pm I'm in bed. I would like someone that is okay with that, and have similiar routine. I wish for the house to be a comfortable, safe space for both of us whether we feel social in the particular day or not. I like socialising, but I'm also very comfortable on my own and like time for myself . I'm friendly and easy going, I like to think! My current housemate is happy to provide feedback and more info after three years living with me.

I like music, outdoor, sports, finances, health, gym and nutrition, video games.

I work a mix of 9-5 from the office and morning/afternoon shifts from home. Mainly at home and I have to yap for a living (customer service).

Important things to consider:

There's a cat living with me- el Presidente. Ideally, a fan/ally of cats is preferred!
He is gentle with stuff, but energetic and likes to play and provides endless hours of entertainment. He sleeps like a rock at night so he's not causing any late night drama.
I will, of course, take care of all his needs, no extra work for you. I've got some holidays planned, so would be very grateful if you can take care of him while I'm away. Just feed him and keep him company.

Please no loud parties or too many overnight stays of other people. Bedrooms are right next to each other and I really need a good night's sleep. I know it's a big ask, so please consider if it's the right place for ya. I'm up for maybe an occasional friends visit and dinner, but ideally not too late in the evening and no often sleepovers.

Also something to be aware is that I practise e drums for around an hour (tops 2 if I'm ever inspired) a day. They are not very loud, but there's some thumping and noise produced, so it can annoy some. I'm always considerate, and never play early morning/late evening.

Lastly, I'm tad light sleeper so would really appreciate if around 10pm-11pm night silence is observed.

On the upside I'm happy to do most house chores, as long as you help a little with some tasks like dishes, sorting out rubbish. I like vacuuming and deep clean, so it's all good. I'm also keeping track of all the bills, keep stock of cleaning products, happy to help with any big shop if car is needed and I always welcome feedback and I'm considerate with your requests.

Price is 450 for room and the total with bills come to around 600-700, depending on our energy use. We're talking about gas, broadband (there's Virgin broadband in the house) council electricity and water.

House is literally 10-15 minute walk from the centre/Central train station. Bute Park is also very close, and the neighborhood is sound. The only dodgy pub nearby went bust:) All neighbours around are nice.

Message me for viewing and if you got any more questions. Please write a bit about yourself. I will likely require some references and also we should chat for a bit for us to know each other a bit better.

If there's any extra furniture needed I may ask landlord for some.

Thank you for reading all this! If this advertisement seems to resonate with you, drop me a message.

Thanks, Witold.
