Room to rent Austin Avenue, Greater London

Description

A sociable and friendly older Spanish lady is seeking a female sharer for her home. In exchange for a low-cost arrangement (free rent + £60 per month towards bills), the sharer will provide up to 15 hours a week of light help and companionship.

The lady is 92, fluent in English and Spanish, and enjoys reading, conversation, sudokus, classical and flamenco music, philosophy, current affairs, cooking healthy meals, and watching dramas. She would like the reassurance of someone else being at home, especially overnight. She gets around the house with a walking frame and prefers to use a wheelchair when outside.

Help needed (approx. 15 hrs per week) includes light household chores, shopping/errands, help with simple tech, tidying the garden, occasional outings, and friendly presence and social interaction.

The accommodation offered is a recently decorated double bedroom with desk, storage and patio doors to the garden. There is own (mainly exclusive) use of a family bathroom, as the Householder has an en-suite. Shared use of the sitting room, kitchen and garden is also available.

This home is located 15–20 mins walk to Bickley or Petts Wood stations, or a short bus ride to Bromley South. Local shops are within a few minutes’ walk.

We are looking for someone warm, friendly, considerate, reliable, with initiative and intelligence, who values companionship. Spanish language is a bonus but not essential.

Available now with no minimum or maximum term. Deposit is £0.00 and bills are included.
