More about the household:

My name is Meriel. I'm a GP and am the landlady of the house. My hobbies include hockey, tennis, music (singing and piano), languages, and travelling. I'm Catholic and attend Blackfriars priory. I'm planning to move away from Oxford around June 2024 and will keep a single bedroom in the house for the occasional stay.

Annie is a librarian at one of the Oxford colleges. She's also Catholic. She likes watching sport. She's quiet, neat and tidy, and very easy to live with.

Elliott is from New Zealand and is doing a maths modelling PhD. He attends St Andrews church.

I want the house to be a blessing to those in it and those who visit; a place of rest and hospitality. Lodgers in the house have previously had weekly housemate meals together, chatted a lot, prayed and had parties together.

We're ideally looking for a kind, clean and tidy housemate who keeps fairly regular hours. In the first instance a three month contract would be preferable with a view to a 12 month tenancy from September 2024.
