Housemates are professionals in full time employment or mature students.
Average age of housemates is usually between 23 - 35, although older is
fine! Most days the house is a relaxed, quiet place to chill, study, live &
sleep. Generally speaking the house is quiet most evenings & weekends, due
mainly to professional housemates being so busy... Going out to
socialise/gyms and/or other activities & events.
Sometimes it can be refreshingly sociable in the kitchen and/or TV lounge,
usually mid week around tea time.
Your welcome to have a TV in your bedroom but when your feeling sociable we
have 2 lounges, (one just for us) and one of which is for the housemates to
share and socialise in. The shared lounge has a large 29" Panasonic TV, a
DVD player and lots of channels. We have a very powerful/fast Broadband
Internet/Wi-Fi connection which seems to work very well in all bedrooms &
shared areas. Your welcome to test our WiFi before moving in.
If you like gym, running, (even hiking, scrambling, climbing or even
skiing), then you will get lots of encouragement from us and as we have 5
good gyms locally, 3 easily within walking distance there maybe no excuse.
On the other hand if you just want somewhere to relax and chill after work
with good food, TV and maybe a glass of wine that's understandable and
sometimes you might not be the only one. And if all this fitness talk is
getting boring (we all party occasionally), then we are only 1 mile from the
city center & about 1.5 miles from Braunstone Gate.
A separate downstairs toilet also comes in handy some mornings.
Here is a typical review from one of our previous housemates.
*****
'Great shared house with a laid back, homely atmosphere. Lovely and clean
where everyone contributes to keep it so. I recommend the room, the house,
the roommates and the owners. This was my first time sharing for a while,
though I may have started sharing with strangers, I have left a house of
friends. It was a pleasure to share the space!'
Thanks Sandra
