** About me **
***************

I'm a 36 y/o man (he/him), I work in Old Market Mon-Fri and cycle in daily. I'm almost entirely plant-based in my diet at home, however don't mind you cooking as you like. My partner stays over regularly too, and when they're round you'll usually find us making fancy pour over coffee, cooking together, or working our way through a TV series in the front room. I love live music and festivals (rock, metal, alt, metalcore etc.), gardening (can provide fresh allotment veg!), cooking, and have been known to be fit and active. I enjoy company, and value my own space too. I have lived most of my life with dogs/cats/horses, but currently without any pets (although I'm investigating adopting a cat). Very happy to welcome fluffy friends into the house.

** What I'm looking for **
************************

My current lodger is purchasing a flat, and will be moving out when that has finalised. I’m looking for someone to ideally join my house on a long-term basis. I’m looking for someone who is:

Clean and considerate: happy to share chores and keep the place homely, but not obsessive about it.
Respectful of privacy: I enjoy company (chatting over coffee, cooking, or watching a series together), and I also value quiet downtime and space.
Settled and reliable: ideally in work or studies, with your rent/bills covered without stress.
Good with communication: it’s important to me that house stuff (guests, chores, bills) can be talked about openly and easily. I value direct and clear communication and to know sooner rather than later when something is not working for you. I am a sensitive human and I value being able to talk about things in a gentle and open way.
Pet-friendly: I may adopt a cat while you’re here, so you’d need to be okay with furry housemates.

WFH is welcome, as are pets you may bring with you.

Sex positive household, hes shes and theys are all welcome equally.

Safe space for neurodiverse adults too.

Give me a message if you're interested.
