Engineer looking for hideaway in Clifton

Hi, I am Sham, I am looking for a room in Clifton, as I have grown to love the little coffee shops, bakeries and the hustle and bustle in the area. I am a hydraulic engineer (full-time) and a student pilot, which means I will be spending 5-days a week from office, and then over the weekend I will be studying for my exams, or will be out training for my next triathlon. Therefore, I am looking for a spacious room where I can lock my self for a couple of hours to study but then also housemates who are sporty are a plus, because I wouldn't usually say no for a social, run, cycle, swim or a game of tennis. This is just an ideal, and I am very open to living with anyone, as long as I get my space.
