What the Opportunity entails:
We have a wonderful Homeshare opportunity for an interesting, well-educated Sharer who is seeking low cost accommodation, and in return can provide some practical support, stimulating companionship, and a reassuring presence at night.
Our Homeowner is an engaging, highly intelligent lady in her 80’s, who has led an active and busy life as an accomplished lawyer, and as a volunteer for many charitable causes. She has a large and close family of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who she is in regular contact with.
Our Homeowner is in good health, enjoys playing bridge online, uses Zoom, Amazon and Netflix, still drives and was travelling internationally pre Covid. Her interests include reading, keeping up with current affairs and politics, and watching TV shows such as Antiques Roadshow and Countryfile.
The spacious flat is situated in a highly desirable location in Hampstead. The room available is very large with a double bed, plenty of wardrobe space, desk, chair, fridge and microwave, and direct access onto the garden. You will also have your own bathroom. There is good Wifi in the flat and a cleaner comes regularly.
The ideal Sharer will be someone who is in further education (age 23+) or who is working mainly from home and is seeking a quiet place to live. You will be willing to provide practical support such as grocery shopping, putting the bins out, helping with basic IT issues and odd jobs in the house, and will be happy to share some time with the Homeowner, for example, chatting about current affairs, playing cards or board games such as Rumikub.
Someone who enjoys cooking and would like to prepare some meals to share together occasionally would be a bonus!
Cost: £199 per month
