Peaceful double room in 2-bed house, Southville

Hello! I’m Lewis, I’m 34 and I’m looking for a Nice Human to join me in a little house in Southville.

It’s a decent house on a quiet cul-de-sac between the top of Stackpool Road and North Street. The room (and house) isn’t huge, but the room is at the back of the house and comes with a new, comfy double bed and mattress, plus a few optional bits (clothes rails, side table, maybe a desk if needed).

There’s lots of real wood, some auction-find furniture, a small outdoor space at the back, and it’s a good spot for getting down to the harbour or North Street.

Home for me is a relaxed, calm space. I’ve been here a couple of years. I’m very comfortable in my own company, and I’ll usually head out to see friends, so it’s important to have a grounded and calm place to come back to. I’ve lived in all sorts of shared setups, as well as on my own for a while, and I really value co-living that has emotional awareness, open communication (happy to have regular check-ins), and a good level of independence while getting on well.

Work-wise I split my time between the sauna world, some bike stuff, and bits of design/fabrication work, so a mix of practical work and community-focused projects. Outside of that I’m often on my bike, at the sauna, or tinkering with little projects.

Queer+ friendly and neurodiversity-informed, and other than someone magically appearing and slotting seamlessly in, I’m really just looking for someone kind, considerate, and grown-up about sharing a space. I do have a few bikes that live inside, in case that’s a dealbreaker. Obvs the other side of that coin is that it’s a bike-friendly home. There's a bath, a gas hob, a dishwasher, and the shower pressure is good.

This is a short-term or part-time situation; perhaps you need a quiet place for a little while, or are in Bristol for work/study/family a few days a week. Happy to figure something out, try it, and see how it feels! It’s probably not an ideal setup for someone who works from home often, or someone chasing a busy, super-social home environment.

The room is £675 plus bills (Band B). I’m flexible on move-in date, finding the right fit matters more than rushing. There isn’t loads of space for extra furniture, but plants and nice prints are very welcome.

If this sounds like it might suit you, please send a bit about you, what you're up to here, what your work patterns might look like, how long you might be looking to stay, anything practical worth knowing or accommodating for, and what you might be looking for in a home - and whether this feels like it might be an authentic fit. thanks!! :)
