A double room (with small office) is available in a classic cottage in Newmarket. Electricity split (currently about 25 month each) No water bills. Lawn and Internet to be shared – still a bargain at around $800 month all included. Cleaning shared – I’m tidy and clean but not obsessively so.

You would be living with one other 32F (with dog). I like to be sociable and not recluse in my room, and also try to get out and about – gigs, theatre, new restaurants/pubs/bars. If you’d like to have a drink occasionally/ socialise that would be great but isn’t compulsory. It would be great to have someone a little fun though – the little cottage will miss some of our verandah dress ups and shenanigans otherwise.

We’re in the middle of 2 train stations and the 2 sets of Newmarket shops. There’s a great park over the back. One parking space but to be negotiated.
