Homeshare – Hampstead London NW3
We are delighted to offer a great Homeshare opportunity for someone to live comfortably and affordably in north west London in return for providing around 10 hours a week of practical support, and an overnight reassuring presence to an older couple.
Available: December 2024.
Homeshare Location:
This Homeshare is situated in a beautiful home in a gorgeous part of North London, close to Hampstead Heath and to bus and train links direct into central London (Zone 3).
Accommodation on Offer:
Sole use of a newly converted bright and airy garage with a double bed and en-suite shower room, basin, and toilet. There is a wardrobe, chest of drawers, desk and chair, microwave, fridge and good Wi-fi. Access to the house, main kitchen and washing machine/dryer.
What the Opportunity Involves:
In return for the low-cost accommodation (£199 per month), we are looking to match an older couple with a caring and friendly sharer who is happy to provide a reassuring presence at night and some practical help to the couple a few evenings a week, accompany them on some outings or drop them off, and/or help at suppertime with some food prep and putting things away. No personal care is permitted.
Our homeowners are an engaging and happy couple in their late 80’s. They enjoy reading, listening to classical music, going to the cinema and theatre, and playing bridge. They both use walking aids around the home for their safety. They have a large close family, and a housekeeper comes daily to help with laundry and housework.
They also have a delightful and friendly little terrier dog.
The ideal sharer for this opportunity will be working or studying, probably mostly out of the home midweek, but around often in the evenings and weekends to help them if needed with a shopping run, or to take them to friends or to the cinema. The homeowners are looking for someone who can drive (an automatic car is available for use) preferably aged 30+ who has their own independent life and perhaps shares their interests in theatre and film.
The preference is for someone who is willing to stay for at least 12 months.
We are looking to match this opportunity very soon so please get in touch if this Homeshare is of interest, providing some information about yourself and why you would be well suited.
Cost: £199 per month
This is a monthly facilitation fee for our matching and ongoing monitoring service. You do NOT pay any rent to the Homeowner but may be asked to pay a modest monthly contribution towards bills.
