Quiet room or flat near the sea wanted

Hi, I'm Ben. I'm a 38 year old single man, originally from the lovely Watford/St. Albans area of Hertfordshire, but I'm now looking to relocate to the wonderfully inclusive city of Brighton and Hove and find a comfortable home for the foreseeable future. I already have a couple of friends in the area and hope to expand my social life, get fitter and grow my business.

I'm self-employed developing my travel website, so I would be based at home most days. I don't smoke, do drugs or drink alcohol. I'm clean and considerate and usually pretty quiet and keep to myself, but happy to chat and join in with things in the house if invited.

I'm a creative music lover and a travel creator specialised in Japan and Europe, with over a decade of solo travel experience. I'm also a decent batch-cooker and pride myself on my slow-cooked veg-packed ragu, and my chicken and chickpea curry recipes. My family might occasionally visit with my very cute little toy poodle, Teddy, but he won't be living with me.

I'm looking for a large double room that will accommodate a double bed, wardrobe and drawers, (these may already be provided by the room but I'd prefer my own mattress if possible) and my sit-stand desk and office chair which I'll be bringing, with a comfortable amount of floorspace left over, preferably with an en-suite. I have a small car which I'll need to park on the street with a permit from the council. Ideally I would like to live in central Hove, near the sea. My budget is £1000pcm exc. bills, but I can push to £1200pcm if all bills are included.

I have a deposit and guarantor ready to go and I'm available to move with 3-4 weeks notice from now. I do need full-fibre broadband or Virgin Media to be available, (happy to help pay for an upgrade,) and I would strongly prefer if my housemates did not smoke or do drugs of any kind.

I hope to hear from you soon!
