About the occupants
I’m a 45 yr old gay male, looking for a housemate to share a large quirky Victorian terrace. This is definitely not your modern white walls box with no personality. I work full time, 3 days out of the week I work from home. I’m not opposed to a drink or 2 on a Friday night. I’m pretty easy going and a bit of a homebody.
Compatible people
Looking for someone who is laid back, clean and tidy but not obsessive. Must be employed full time. I don’t really have a lot of criteria, just be a nice person and we will get along fine, although a dark sense of humour would be great.
