Hi, thanks for reading my ad. I'm looking for a friendly house-mate to join me and my other lodger in my lovely house. We're both easy-going, friendly, professional guys with a broad range of interests; theatre, cinema, eating out, cooking, wine, pubs, bars, poker, board games, travel.

I’ve successfully let rooms to lodgers for many years, all of whom have moved on due to working or studying elsewhere and remain friends. We’ve all had and enjoyed our own space but have often shared dinner and drinks together, celebrating Christmas and Burns Night, had BBQs in the garden, visited local restaurants or had poker nights etc and had a day trip to Bruges last year with a road trip across Germany planned for later in the year.

Although it's a good sized room I’m not looking to let the room to a couple or to two single people. Strictly non-smokers only please. Happy to consider Mon-Fri lets etc.

I'd be grateful if you'd say a little about yourself, what you do for work, activities you enjoy in your spare time, interests etc when replying to the ad.

I’m very happy to provide comprehensive details of the house, local area etc and testimonials from former lodgers

Talking of which:

From Phil (moved to Leeds) “Very much missing the house already. Well, I was there for nearly two years which should say something. My time there was pleasant, comfortable and a lot of fun. It’s a most welcoming and relaxed place. The landlord is a very reasonable and diligent landlord and is great to live with. He’s also extremely generous. I’ve been very well fed and watered on countless occasions and, as a bonus have also learned a little cooking myself.

It’s a household of adults who all work and this is reflected in the atmosphere. It’s mostly quiet, but not formal, and also very social. It differs from what one might call a “student house”. We like a drink and do go out sometimes but the foremost aspect is that of consideration.

There’s no intrusive music or splitting hairs over who pays for which household items. It simply, well – “adult”.

The living room is a genuine room for living. It’s where we sit, enjoy the TV’s showings, share food and drink, comment on life as we see it and try to beat each other in card and board games.

The house is equipped with all that one might need. The water is hot. The internet is fast. The heating works well. The local area has all essential amenities. This extends to supermarkets, corner shops, food places, gym and the best Turkish restaurant in London (of which we’ve been regular patrons).

It’s a good place and I’ll miss it.”

From Joe (working in the Philippines) "The landlord was very welcoming and I was instantly made to feel completely at home. It's a nice place to unwind.
In general, the atmosphere is friendly but laid back; I was able to enjoy a drink with my house mates whilst watching TV, a film or playing a video game, but I was also able to retreat to my room to concentrate on working. Periodically, we also visited local restaurants, and played board games ou poker, but the landlord is very flexible, and will endeavour to make you feel welcome without obligation, and in a manner that suits your schedule.

I would definitely recommend this house to potential suitors. I really enjoyed my time there."

From Liam (went to study in Budapest) "a really nice bedroom available for one lucky person. Everything is really kept in very good condition. It’s a really great home, perfect for my needs, and I’m sad to be moving out.

In terms of transport, it’s been really convenient. I’ve been working in the City, and have had a really excellent commute of just 30 minutes door-to-door.

Your new housemates are absolutely lovely! The landlord extraordinaire, is a man of many talents. He can sing, cook, play piano, and host really excellent dinner parties - my first experience of Burns Night was a really exceptional evening. He has kept the rent at a very reasonable rate, and is extremely responsive whenever anything needs to be sorted, etc.

It’s a really great atmosphere: chilled-out, relaxed, and friendly. Everyone has their own space, but every few weeks we get together for a meal, film night, or even play a boardgame together. It’s been great fun - and I will be coming back to visit!”

From Charmaine (now in Singapore) “He is the kindest landlord you’ll ever meet! He’s extremely easy-going and has never failed to go out of his way to make you feel special. See, when I first moved in, the room only came with a chest of drawers (which obviously posed a teensy problemo per moi as I happen to own a small number dresses). So we ventured out to the nearby IKEA and got me the various bits and bobs and by the time I got home from my weekend rendezvous, the wooden boards had miraculously jumped out of their flat-packs and became a real wardrobe!

So if you or someone you know is after a great, communal, friendly and warm (in both senses of the word!) place to call home, then be sure not to miss out!”
