Have the house to yourself much of the time!
Available: Flexible - April/May
Hey! I’m looking for a friendly, tidy and easy‑going person to take a newly renovated double room in my 2‑bed terrace at the very top of Union Street, right in the heart of Old Town.
Would suit someone who wants a place that’s super central, newly renovated and gives you loads of your own space.
Unique Privacy
Although this is my main home, my job means I spend long stretches working in London, so the house often ends up being yours day‑to‑day. That means you’ll get a kind of privacy and independence that’s pretty rare in a house share - you’ll have most of the house and the garden to yourself a lot of the time, without the cost of renting a whole place solo.
I do come back to Swindon to see family or for the odd weekend, but I’ll always give you some notice beforehand.
Location
The house sits right at the top of Union Street, which means you’re basically living 30 seconds from Old Town centre but still on a quieter residential row so you’re not in the noisy bit.
A few highlights:
It’s in the popular Old Town area and well located for local shops and amenities.
You’ve also got easy access to Swindon National Rail services, great if you commute or head out of town often.
And within a 30‑second walk you’ve got:
Morrisons Local
Post Office
Longs Bar
Walk literally 1 minute and you’re on Wood Street, surrounded by all the best bars, pubs, cafés, restaurants and shop.
The Room
Double room with brand‑new furniture
New carpets, fresh paint
Bright and airy
Plenty of storage
The House
Fully renovated throughout
Comfy living/dining room
Updated, modern kitchen
Shared bathroom
Lovely private garden with lawn + patio, great for chilling in the warmer months
On‑street parking (permits available)
The whole house has a relaxed, comfortable feel. All the upgrades have just been done, so everything is fresh and in great condition.
About Me / About You
I’m a friendly, easy‑going professional who likes a tidy, relaxed home. I’m around now and then, but when I’m back I’m very respectful of space and like things to feel calm and comfortable. I’m sociable and happy for a chat, but also very easy with people doing their own thing.
I’m looking for someone similar - tidy, considerate, and easy to live with. Someone who appreciates having their own space but is also friendly and respectful.
