About the occupants
Hi, I'm Lindsay, I'm a semi-retired professional guy. I am active and fit; have a young open mind and relate to people from all backgrounds and diversities. Im fair and reasonable but as in all shared facilities there are simple rules.
My wife has passed in so I'm the sole occupant and overall not at home very much, often for 6 months at a time.... Travelling and visiting parent, friends relatives, etc.

My room is at the other end of the house with its own shower and access. The rental room is at the front of the house and well away from my area. Half the house can be closed off with french doors to retain privacy and separate space if required. The room offered has a separate but more or less unshared bathroom. Both are close to the kitchen which is new fully equipped. The rental room as aforementioned has a large enclosed veranda with leadlight windows, blinds and a large desk plus sideboard. Furniture is negotiable but a large queen bed with mattress and linen etc can be provided. Off-street parking is at the front of the house.
Compatible people
Reliability, trust, fairness, tidiness and a balanced temperament are required.
Im easy-going , open-minded, and tolerant. I have a young outlook but remain unobsessively principled.
Best to meet in person for mutual evaluation.
