Looking for a place to call home around Gatwick

I would like to find a house I can call home, as I am looking to settle back into UK life after 2 years living and working in Vancouver, Canada.

I work with an airline based at Gatwick and I'm a Design and Development Engineer, so I will be commuting daily - ideal place would be walkable to a mainline train station or easy access to the local bus network, to make this quicker and easier.

While in Canada I was running my own business offering personal development workshops and coaching, alongside business and communication coaching for entrepreneurs.

I am looking for a homely space, double room preferably with ensuite bathroom, but I can be flexible in this.

I'd love to live with like-minded professionals - that being those who enjoy conversation over good wine and good food at home, as well as heading out for an evening at the pub or a pub quiz.

Finally, I am into snowboarding, skiing, long distance cycling, squash, music and generally enjoying my weekends and evenings with good company.
