Streatham or nearby for teaching contract.

Hi, I am Richard, a conscientious, clean and relatively tidy guy looking for house share with folk that will tolerate (& hopefully enjoy!) my guitar playing and practice! (Acoustic guitar).

I am also very capable of playing very quietly, but do try my best, despite my busy job, to practice for at least 30 minutes a day.

I am a teacher and have enjoyed the flexibility of supply teaching since March 2011. As such, it's useful for me to have free bike parking within walking distance of where I stay, good access to main routes, but sometimes not essential for areas with good public transport.

I already work long hours so a big commute is not incredibly attractive to me. I work near Crystal Palace train station. My ideal house would be located on that train line, or in a triangle between Tulse Hill, Herne Hill and Dulwich areas.

I am very easy to live with, I hope: interested in people yet also discreet, respectful of privacy etc.

My ideal house in a larger share would be made up of other non-smoking sharers who live harmoniously, working co-operatively where possible, respectful and mindful of each others' personal space.

In larger house shares I'd rather chip in for shared essentials etc. and have a cleaner once a week that try to use a cleaning rota; I find they really don't work well for busy professional people.

I like cooking for others and I've enjoyed having shared meals in previous house shares, but not essential.

I am also open to being a lodger with a live in situation. Best for me in this scenario is with just one other other, but if the people are right I would, of course consider other living contexts.

If I sound like I might be the ideal person for your place please do get in touch!
