Early 30's professional seeks fun yet mature house

Ad ref# 1680830

WHO AM I?
I'm a 32 year-old half British/half South African bloke, born in the UK but literally lived half my life in Cape Town and half in the UK (moved back here when I was 20). I am a professional who works in Maidenhead as a technical sales executive for a commercial audio visual installation company. I've been living in shared houses in London since my early 20's, so I'm well house trained and enjoy living with people. I like to stay reasonably fit being a relativly keen cyclist, love music & films, cars, wine & enjoy a bit of cooking & DIY (I'm pretty handy around the house, like to fix things)...friendly, polite, chilled, respectful and socialable.

WHY AM I MOVING?
I'm currently living in a 5 person house-share in Southfields (SW London)...and here in lies the problem. I am currently doing nearly 70 miles most days to commute to the office, I need to be closer to work (Maidenhead). I'm also looking for a more rural/country location...I'd like to be out of busy London.

WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR?
WHO?
I'm looking for a 4-6 person shared house where I can come home after work to relax & chat with friendly like minded professional people. It's very important to me to get on with the people I live with, and I think I am easy to get on with. I am not the type to disappear to my room as soon as I get home, I enjoy a good chat over a meal & a glass of (preferably red) wine or a cold beer. I'm looking for professional house mates who are open to the odd shared meal, visit to the pub, dinner parties, movie nights etc...and getting to know each-others friends & generally socialise. Most of my current friends are in SW London, so I will really want to grow a new social network around where I live.

It's also important to respect each-other privacy...sometimes you want to just sit on your bed & read and spend some "me" time...everyone needs their own space sometimes. It would be a bonus is the house is kept reasonably clean & tidy...although far from a clean-freak with OCD, I do try to keep things clean & fairly orderly.

WHAT?
Having been in London for as long as I have, I have amassed quite alot of "stuff"...a reasonable to large sized bedroom is a must (en-suite nice but not essential). Being in the industry I am in (and being a bit of an audiophile), I do have a decent speaker system & TV which I'd prefer to put (neatly) in the lounge for everyone to use and enjoy. Near'ish to a station with easy transport links to the city would be a must, I need to travel into London for work fairly regularly, but drive to the office or appointments on most days. A shared lounge and a good sized kitchen is a must, also a garden or terrace to BBQ would be preferable. (I have lived in houses with no lounge and it is terrible for the house dynamic not to have a place to relax, socialise and be comfortable with your housemates.)

WHERE?
I am looking for somewhere around Windsor, Old Windsor or Ascot...that sort of location preferably South of the M4. Basically somewhere between the M4 & M3...but not as far out as Bracknell or Wokingham.

WHEN CAN I MOVE?
I am on a 1 month notice period at my current house, but can be flexible. If it means a week or two where I am paying rent at two places, so be it...if it's the right house.

My sincere appologies for the waffle above...I hope it was not too long! Look forward to hearing from you if you think I will fit into your house.

Cheers!
