Seeking a safe home for my canine companion & I

Urgently needing a place for me and my beautiful little furry friend to make our home.... looking for a quiet place in or around the city central area, in either a Small house or apartment need a studio or a 1 bedroom place, ideally with a garden for little onyx to enjoy. I am a 41 year old, happily single female who enjoys listening to music, reading and a good horror movie, who absolutely loves animals. I currently receive benefits so accepting housing benefit is essential for me to afford the rent but can afford up to £800pcm for the perfect place however it would be much better for living in a better financial position ideally I'm looking to spend around £625 which is paid by housing benefit and any additional cost will be out of my budget each month so I can afford to stretch upto another £150 towards further rent however factoring in bills is essential so would be looking for a bills included tenancy to afford top whak.. Basically I can be flexible between £625-750 with or without bills included but if it's a house with a garden, with no one else sharing, I would potentially go further and be a bit tighter with the monthly payments budget as I'm desperate for a place to make a home where I can feel safe and secure and relaxed just me and my dog.... I do smoke a few trollies a day however I don't like smoking indoors and only smoke outside so it's not an issue for non smoking terms on my end, I'm ready with rent and deposit there waiting so please, anyone who can offer me and onyx a safe place in Colchester, please let me know ASAP, I will be more than happy to answer any questions about myself should you want to know anything please do ask.
