Double room, big living area + balcony - E14

Hey :)

We have a room available immediately in our gorgeous top floor, 3 bedroom flat in East London.

There may be another room coming available at the end of June, depending on if my flatmate gets his job in Spain confirmed.

It's a top floor flat, and the building is an old pub, and overlooks a secondary school, meaning there are kilometres of open space infront, great views of London and also the area is very safe due to being entirely residential, with families in most houses.

The kitchen and living room is open plan and me (29, F) and my flatmate (26, M) have spent the past 3.5 years making it into a home. All of the lighbulbs are smart bulbs, big TV, DJ decks to mix music, and super big, super comfortable sofa. There's an island separating the kitchen, and a large cooking area. We've recently bought super cosy thick carpets too for the area.

We have a very big balcony, with thick astroturf and 2 planter boxes growing lavender and flowers. You're welcome to plant more if you wish :) We have a small BBQ but we're looking to upgrade that this Summer.

The flat is stunning and it’s so rare to find something like this in London.
The room is on the smaller side, but still comes with a double bed, a desk and a small wardrobe. The long corridor leading to the room holds a full size double set chest of drawers for your clothes/ whatever else and there is a further metre and a half of space in the corridor to put another cabinet or whatever else you choose. This corridor is not shown in the photos.

The other room is exactly the same size as this one with another drawer in the corridor (it’s a long corridor).

The bedrooms come with furniture that previous housemates have left behind but there is no obligation to keep them if you don’t want them. (We’ll probably move them into our rooms or sell them)
My room is a bit bigger and I pay a bigger share of the rent.

It's a 5 minute walk from Langdon Park DLR Station and you can be in Stratforf/ Canary Wharf in 20 mins, and Central London in 40 mins.

Bit about us:

I’m:

29 year old trans woman
Work in the music industry doing Marketing and Artist Management and I DJ from time to time.
I work from home most days, and occasionally go into the office. On weekends in the Winter I work in a music venue and in the Summer I work at various festivals across Europe.


Flatmate:

26 year old cis man
Work as a barman in the evenings

This is a queer household. We identify as queer and whilst you don’t need to be queer to apply, you certainly have to be an ally :)

During the weekends we do like to have friends over occasionally, having drinks and in the Summer, BBQs. We like meeting new people and you would be very welcome to invite your friends if you so wish.

During the week we’re very chill, most nights just watching a movie or playing on the PlayStation or sunbathing. Occasionally we’ll have someone over for dinner but normally we go out for that.

We’re looking for a chill professional, ideally in the creative industries or someone that shares a love of dance music - whatever the genre. We would be keen to hear your different tastes.

We are looking for someone sociable yet respectful, that we can trust and who’s looking for a home, to make lasting friendships with. We are quite tidy people but are certainly not militant on things to be perfect and wouldn’t expect you to be either - this is our home, not a showroom :)

Someone up for letting us into your life as we will to you. We care a lot about this home and we are looking for someone to be part of its next chapter :)

Bills are not included and come to around £100 a month, depending on the time of the year. This includes, Electricity, Water, Council Tax and Internet.

The room is available from now onwards, so you would be able to move in whenever you want with no fixed time. However we require one month of rent as a deposit upfront and then the rent.

As I mentioned above, my flatmate's room may also be available from end of June, depending on if he gets the job he's applying for in Spain :)

Thanks <3
