Two double rooms available near the station

Open planed shared living area

My housemates Nick and Claudia are both sadly moving out in the next couple of months from our four-bed terrace near the station, so I am looking for new housemates to replace them! I've loved living in a friendly, sociable mixed house and want to keep that same good-energy vibe going.

A bit about me:

I am a teacher and tutor who works flexibly, online and in person (several times a year I am usually out of the country for a few weeks each time with work). I am a big fan of a communal atmosphere: think group cooking, chilled hangouts, board games, deep chats (the BIG talk), and sometimes the occasional joint creative project (gardening, making furniture for the house etc).

I completely respect that home is often a place to relax, unwind and have privacy. But for me, the people you live with also have to be people whose company you enjoy.

The house:

The house is on Rickyard Close, just by the station (on the right side of the road works). It has four bedrooms, two en-suites, and an extra bathroom and a half. Only three of the rooms are used, and the fourth room is a shared office/spare room/project space. It has been perfect for working from home, having guests over or just having some breathing room (I occasionally use it to do some painting).

There is a small garden that has some outdoor sofas, a hammock, and a shed. An open-plan shared living space with good space for having friends over or relaxing on an evening. The kitchen is practical (a little on the small side) and has managed to have all three of us cooking separate meals at the same time. The house is currently furnished, but a few bits will leave with Nick and Claudia. It has all the main appliances including dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.

It is in a great location for being right on the edge between central Oxford with the station and colleges on one side and the river, canal and Port Meadow on the other. Great for getting both into town and out for a nice walk and some nature.

There is dedicated parking right outside the house, which can be discussed for an additional fee.

The rooms:

The slightly cheaper (still Oxford prices sadly) room is a double with a side table and built-in wardrobe. There is a shared bathroom on the floor below (the one in the photos with a bath!) that is for your use only (both the other rooms have en-suites) plus maybe the occasional guest. There is also a desk and office chair that can be kept in there or put into the office. This room is located on the top floor and looks out onto the garden and a parking area with no through traffic (very quiet)

The second room is an en-suite and similarly furnished with a bed (unclear which one will be in the room when Nick leaves, but one will be provided if needed), side table and built-in wardrobe. Located on the middle floor it also looks out onto the back garden and parking area, so is quiet. There aren't any pictures of this room yet (Nick is away so will grab one when he is back) but I have put in a picture of my room which is almost identical just one floor above.

Sort of people I am looking for:

I am looking for people who are fun, considerate, and easy to get along with: someone who values a relaxed and respectful home, but is also up for the odd late night or spontaneous gathering. I am open to anyone and am just keeping it to individuals rather than couples for space reasons.

If this sounds like it could be a good fit, I'd love to chat more and maybe grab a drink to see if the vibes align.

The rent does not include council tax (band E), which, with additional bills (broadband, water, energy, etc.) usually comes to around £150-190 per month on top.

Feel free to shoot over any questions!
