Homeshare – South Hampstead, London NW6

We have a new Homeshare opportunity available immediately for a mature female sharer to live comfortably and affordably in a lovely part of north London, in return for providing some light practical support to a lady in her mid-70s, and an overnight reassuring presence in the home.

Available from: October 2024

Homeshare Location:

Excellent location with quick and easy access to central London, only a 2-minute walk to South Hampstead overground, 5-minute walk to Swiss Cottage tube, and 10 minutes to Finchley Road tube, overground and buses.

Accommodation on Offer:     [photos to follow]

Good sized bedroom with double bed in a 3-bedroom character flat with beautiful patio garden. Wardrobe, chest of drawers, bookshelves and double-glazed windows. Wifi is being installed. The sharer has their own separate toilet and there is a shared bathroom which is a wet room for disabled access.

A cleaner and a gardener come to the flat regularly.

What the Opportunity Involves:

In return for the low-cost accommodation, (£199 per month), we are looking to match our friendly homeowner with a kind female sharer who is happy to provide a little practical support and companionship, but mostly a reassuring presence overnight for her and her family’s peace of mind. No personal care is permitted.

Our homeowner is disabled and has carers coming to the home three times a day every day, who also help with the shopping, meals, tidying up and medication. She has lived on her own for many years and uses an electric wheelchair in the home, and to go out. She is recovering from a health issue a few months ago and she rests quite a lot during the day.

Our homeowner is a sociable lady and has a large supportive family. She describes herself as ‘an old hippie with a dark sense of humour.’ Her interests include gardening, sewing, painting, theatre, opera, ballet, music and visiting art galleries and she goes out when she can. She likes to keep busy, and she crochets blankets and little quilts for a local charity. She is vegetarian and eats organically.

She is looking to share her home with someone mostly for the peace of mind that she is not alone at night but also for some occasional companionship and a gratefully received offer of a cup of tea in the morning and evening. Someone who would also be happy to water the plants.

This opportunity would suit somebody who is working or studying mostly out of the home and who has their own independent life and who will typically be at home most nights. Our client would prefer a female sharer aged 35+, non-smoker, ideally a non-meat eater.

We are looking to match this Homeshare opportunity very soon, so if it is of interest, please get in touch with us asap preferably by email, and tell us about yourself, your work/study schedule, and why you would be well suited to it.

Cost: £199 per month
