Room in a Shared House, Hillview Villas, GL5

Double room available in a friendly community-oriented houseshare in the Ebley area of Stroud. You would be sharing with me - a self-employed teacher and musician in my 40s from a global majority heritage with an interest in social justice, creativity, nature, walking and spirituality. I am seeking the space to be BIPOC/ LGBTQAI+/ immigrant friendly and would love it to be a welcoming space whatever your identities. If you resonate with this, read on for the details and please get in touch if you have any questions around this or anything else.

You'll need to be OK with stairs to live here - the room and the bathroom are on the first floor and access to the ground floor is up 5 steps from the street.

The room is a spacious double on the first floor with views over Selsley Common and sanded pine floors. It's one of the warmest rooms in winter and keeps the heat pretty well. The windows are recently double glazed sash. Furnishings to be negotiated.

The kitchen and dining room and sitting room are all shared and there is a grassy garden with a small veg patch. There is fibre broadband internet.

If you have a car, parking is on street. There is a bus stop 200m away with routes to Stroud centre and Gloucester. It's 1.5 miles from both Stroud and Stonehouse stations (trains to Gloucester and London) and 7 miles from Cam and Dursley station (trains to Bristol). It's 3.5 miles from the M5. There's an off-road flat walk or cycle to Stroud town centre along the canal.

The location is on the edge of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and 250m away from canal, river and meadow and the Cotswold Way. There are off-road walks in multiple directions - wooded walks around Doverow Hill and beyond to Standish Woods and Haresfield Beacon. There's a couple of nearby parks and several food shops within walking distance. There's a cafe and a pub within 5 minutes' walk.

I am giving a rental price that does not include bills - it's likely to be between £100 and £150 per month in total each in addition as a contribution to council tax (band B), water, electricity and gas bills and broadband.

I am vegan. If you eat meat and fish, it's not a deal breaker but we could have a chat about how to share the kitchen together.

It's a peaceful home set back from the road. I'm keen for it to be a friendly and homely atmosphere. If you like the sound of this, get in touch to fix a chat about how living together would work.
