Glapton Road

The spare room is on the upper floor of the terraced property. The bedroom is unfurnished, but the rest of the house is furnished.

Ryan, my current housemate, has a King-size bed, a wardrobe, and a desk with a chair in his room currently. The room can be decorated. You can paint the walls, put up shelves, and hang art. There is also attic storage if you need it.

Around the rest of house there is a cosy foyer, living/dining room, kitchen, and bathroom. The bathroom has a bath and shower unit. The kitchen has a fridge/freezer and washing machine. There is a concrete backyard patio, although it is a little overgrown at the moment. The house had an eco-fit out about 2 years ago so retains heat in the winter and has solar panels to keep energy bills down.

The property is roughly the same distance from town as it is to West Bridgford. It is an easy 5 minute walk to the riverside with a gorgeous park at the end of our road. Tram and Bus links are within minutes of the front door, and if you like walking, it only takes 15-20 minutes to walk into town and under 10 minutes to the train station.

The area is really safe and friendly. I’ve never had any issues in the decade I’ve been here. Lots of kids, families, young working couples around.

We have a great landlord who is very accommodating and quick to fix issues. I’ve been at the property about 10 years now.

Bills (water, gas/elec, council tax, internet) work out at about £200 each month (per person). We have high speed internet, so if you work from home you shouldn’t have any issues.

My housemate, and friend, of the past 4.5 years is moving out to live with a workmate. I’m hoping to find someone to take his place that is easy going and open to my slightly unorthodox set up.

I’m a father to an 8-year-old who stays with me every other weekend. I also have two indoor cats. So any housemate would need to be okay with both the occasional child visit and sharing a house with cats.

I’m the only other tenant. I’m not intrusive. I largely keep to my room. But I’m also up for socialising. I’m very laidback.

I try my best to keep the house tidy, but I’ll admit I’m no neat freak. I’m neurodivergent (ADHD / BPD), so can be oblivious to things sometimes. But if you’re the kind of person who can have calm, open conversations about things, we’ll get along fine and resolve any issues quickly.

I’m honest, up front, and will always try to adapt to my housemate’s needs. I hate conflict, so I’m the kind of housemate who will work hard to ensure we’re both happy.

I’m a bit of a geek. Love my gaming, scifi, anime, etc. Enjoy reading, listening to indie folk/pop music (Phoebe Bridgers, Noah Kahan, Frightened Rabbit), and watching the football. I also binge way too much TV.

I work from home at least two days a week, but tend to do this from my room. If you work from home too, there are two desks downstairs that you could work from if you didn’t want to work from your room.

If all of this appeals to you, I’d love to hear from you.
