2 month sublet 9 Aug-9 Oct. 5 mins to Tube/V. Park

2-month sublet from Fri 9th August - Wed 9th Oct (flexibility on dates/possibility of extension): Double room 5 mins walk from Bethnal Green station, furnished, sharing with Bertille and Mayanka in a 3 bedroom flat in Bethnal Green (E2 9NX). The rent is £950 per month, including all bills. Available because I’m spending some time testing out what life back home in Devon is like.

The Flat: A well-kept stylish (second floor) maisonette in Bethnal Green, 5 minutes walk from Victoria Park, Cambridge Heath station and Bethnal Green tube stop. It’s incredibly well-located but extremely quiet. There is a lockable, covered, bike storage rack, and an allotment that is free to get involved with.

The downstairs consists of a large living room - it’s south-facing so gets lots of natural light throughout the day and leads onto a balcony with a view of open space - trees and the such. There is a TV (with plenty of streaming offerings), and a decent sound system (with vinyl player). The kitchen has modern appliances including an induction cooker, dishwasher and washing machine with a built-in tumble dryer.

The Room: Small/medium in size, and comes with a standard (4ft 6/1.3m) double bed, chest of drawers, and shelves, as well as a desk for a decent WFH-set-up.

The current Housemates:

Bertille - 26 years old from France, a junior in Investment. New to the UK and can usually be found driving from one traditional British town to another traditional British town at the weekends, and attending cultural activities during the week.

Mayanka - 30 years old from Delhi, been living in the UK for almost a decade, teaching anthropology at the LSE, loves reading fiction and poetry, and spends weekends walking along London's canals and discovering old Victorian cemeteries.

They’re both easygoing, and have their own lives and groups of friends in London, but enjoy cooking together; watching movies; dissecting each other’s dating lives; etc. ;-)

Looking for the usual: someone who has their own life but who won’t lock themselves in their room and wants to engage with the house as a home; who is kind, open-minded, considerate, clean and tidy, and doesn’t flip their lid if someone forgets to wash up a coffee mug after a tough day. They both enjoy hosting friends for dinner of an evening, and so are looking for someone who won’t be regularly working from home after 18:00.

The Links (walking):

5 mins to Bethnal Green Tube Station

5 mins to Cambridge Heath Overground

Lots of bus links close by

The Attractions:

A few minutes away from Victoria Park and Regents canal. Columbia Road Flower Market and Broadway Market are both just 12 mins on foot. There are a few gyms, York Hall leisure centre with pool (and spa), and The London Buddhist Centre within a 5-minute walk. Tesco, Co-Op, Sainsbury’s and various specialist food stores are all within a 7-minute walk. Obviously, there are good restaurants, bars and literally myriad pubs nearby.

The flat is with a private landlord who is really engaged and attentive. You will be named on the tenancy agreement to provide you with security for the whole period; the rent will be paid on the 9th of August and 9th September) and the £750 deposit will be paid on the 9th of July with the first rent. We are looking to have everything sorted as soon as possible.

The Next Step:

Please message us with a little bit about yourself and your current situation. As it is only for 2 months, Mayanka and Bertille are just happy to have someone nice and considerate, but if there is a shared click, then that would be great. Let us know in your message what your interests are and how you like to spend your time (this can just be a very simple copy and paste message!). If this advert is active, the room is still available.

We'll be holding viewings/meet & greets in 15-minute intervals (we are happy to do these in person or via video call): There's flexibility on the dates, so let us know what time/date suits you and we will see if we can accommodate that.

Hoping to have everything signed as soon as possible!

Thanks for enquiring and we look forward to hearing from you.

Paul, Bertille and Mayanka
