Spacious double room, just off Burton Road

I've been living in this first-floor flat just off Burton Road for the past year. My current flatmate is moving in with his partner towards the end January, and I’m looking for someone to replace him so I can stay in the flat.

The Room & Flat

Spacious double bedroom on the first floor overlooking the garden to the rear, with sole use of the main bathroom as the other room is en suite.

We share a large living room with a dining table for four.

Kitchen includes a washing machine, oven and electric hobs.

Access to a shared back garden (used by around 10 houses).

Shared 2 car drive with the downstairs flat. I have a car, so we’d share one space, but there is plenty of on-street parking nearby.

The house is furnished, the only things my housemate added to his room were a desk, desk chair and bookshelf.

Rent & Bills

Current rent: £650 PCM each (this may rise when the contract renews, I’ll confirm with the estate agent).

Bills are around £190 each (council tax band A, gas, electric, internet).

Move-in date: ~25th January. Some flexibility on this might be needed.

Deposit: £690

About Me

I’m a mechanical engineer, usually WFH 2 days a week. Someone who has a similar split would be preferred.

Outside of work I enjoy running, playing hockey, cooking, hiking and camping, and anything generally outdoorsy, as well as the occasional night out (although not really a party flat) and pub quiz.

I spend a couple nights a week at my girlfriends, so you would have the flat to yourself on some evenings.

I like to keep things clean and would like someone similar; friendly, considerate, and easy to live with.

Looking for

A tidy, respectful professional around a similar age.
Preferably someone who doesn’t WFH most of the week, but it’s not a dealbreaker.
