Bright and airy double bedroom, separate study/office, and shared use of bathroom and a separate shower room available, along with shared use of kitchen, lounge and garden in this modern, clean and well-maintained home. Wi-Fi is available.
The property is located in a quiet residential area, a 15-minute drive to Loughborough through beautiful countryside, 25 minutes to Leicester and 30 minutes to Nottingham. The quaint village of Ashby de la Zouch is 15 minutes away.
In return for the low-cost accommodation, we are looking to match a female sharer who is happy to provide some companionship and practical support to our lovely older homeowner.
Our homeowner describes herself as ‘84 going on 32’. She is independent, engaging and enjoys a range of interests including quilting and sewing, history and current affairs. She is a real people-person, having had a long career in HR herself and she enjoys having a good conversation and loves having some fun and laughing.
She has found the recent lockdown particularly hard and quite lonely, unable to see family particularly over Christmas, and having successfully shared her home with a younger Sharer for a long time, she would like to do it again.
She has some friendly neighbours, who help with some online food shopping, and she has a little rescue dog. She is still driving, although less so recently.
The ideal Sharer will be female, either a mature student or someone working, who has a nice personality and a good sense of humour. Our homeowner is very easy-going and would benefit from sharing some meals and spending a bit of time occasionally. Due to the location of the home, you will need to have your own car for this opportunity.
The house is clean and tidy; a cleaner comes regularly. Our homeowner describes it as a ‘happy house’.
It would give our homeowner great pleasure to help someone save up for a mortgage and get a start in life and we are looking to match this lovely opportunity with the right person as soon as possible.
If you are interested, please message us soon, telling us a bit about yourself and why you would be suited to it.
We are a social enterprise facilitating Homeshare matches across the UK. We match older people who live alone and need some practical support and company, with younger mature adults wanting affordable accommodation, who are happy to provide around 10 hours of help and companionship in return for a quiet, safe place to live.
