Spacious Bedroom Available in 2 Bed Ancoats Flat

Hello!

My flatmate is moving out on July 23rd to move on with her girlfriend. I am looking for a similar person who is quite liberal, easy-going, clean, and responsible.

I'm a Freelance Copywriter who tends to work from home or any of the cafes in town. I don't work set 9-5 hours but prefer to have a flatmate who works out of the house so we don't get under each other's feet. I tend to keep strange hours, but have an agreement with my current flatmate to keep the shared spaces quiet by 11pm so she can have an early night for work.

Apart from that, I'm quite laid-back, although I do need someone who can commit to cleaning the shared spaces once a week and generally keeping them tidy. I love writing, the theatre, horror films, reading, collecting nick-nacks, and going to vintage home markets. I'd prefer a flatmate who can be a friend, but I'm happy to settle for someone who can keep the house clean and pay bills on time!

The flat itself is spacious and modern. You will have your own double room with a walk-through wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. The building (Lampwick Quay) is staffed by 24/7 concierge, and there is a gym, coworking space, and parking. Parking costs an extra £150 (I think) and you have to apply for that separately.

Lampwick Quay is a 15 min walk from Picadilly Gardens, 10 min walk from Picadilly train station, and a 2 min walk from the tram stop. We've also got the marina on our doorstep, which is really beautiful in summer.

In July my rent is going up to £690, but when you sign a new contract the rent could increase more.

Rent - £700ish
Deposit - Whatever one month's rent is
Electricity - £40 each
Water - £30 each
Internet - £20 each
Council tax - £100ish

On top of that, there are the various costs of starting new electric contracts, etc, so the first month could get quite pricey!

It's quite expensive to live here, so please only contact me if you're confident you can pay the bills. I've had a bit of a nightmare in the past with a flatmate who didn't have bill money/forgot to pay council tax on time. With my current flatmate, I just upload bills to Splitshare and she pays me ASAP.

Right now, I have a rug, side table, sofa, and lamp for the living room. My flatmate will be taking her living room table, side unit, microwave, and toaster. It would be nice to have a flatmate who can contribute the bits I'm missing! The rooms are completely unfurnished, so you have free reign over your bedroom.

I've not uploaded pictures of the bedrooms as I'm just about to run out of the house and go on holiday! However, if you want to see more pictures of Lampwick Quay and the bedrooms, just go on the website. There's even a 3D tour on there, which gives you a pretty good idea of what it's like.

Overall I'm very liberal, and prefer to find a flatmate who's similar. I don't do drugs, but that's at your discretion, as long as I don't come home to coke all over the kitchen counters (lol).

Sorry if this is a bit garbled, I'm just walking out the door! Please message me if you think you meet my criteria, and please don't if you don't.

I need a new flatmate by July 24th, so I'm keen to get the ball rolling asap. I'd love to meet you for a coffee/drink once or twice, then very quickly sign a contract in the next two weeks or so. Looking forward to speaking!
