Edward Scairff Post reply -->London Deptford 8 Feb Deptford Family HouseshareAre you interested in communal family living? We are looking for two other families with young children to get together and rent a house. We have one son who will be 3yrs old in May. We would like to experience living in a co-operative, communal environment, benefitting everyone involved: -children can play together and learn from each other -parents can share skills and childcare -bigger living space and garden -more economical consumption The idea is to rent a 6 or 7 bedroom house so that everyone can have their own space while also having communal areas. Ideally, we would like to live in Brockley/New Cross but we are flexible. This is clearly a long-term plan as we would have to get to know one another and discuss our expectations, so we are in no hurry to move and everything would be very informal to begin with. If you are interested please email Mail-me Post reply -->London Deptford Ruby 11 Feb |
