From 1 October Double room with a view in Bow

ROOM AVAILABLE FROM 1 OCTOBER.

Hi. We are a gay couple (aged 42 and 55) offering our bright and lovely guest room for a lodger in Bow.

The room is for single occupancy (i. e. not couples). It's bright, with a double bed, wardrobe, Chromecast TV, and a table and seat. The shared spaces are the kitchen and the bathroom (as seen on the floorplan), and the flat has wifi, a dishwasher, smart electric heating, and great views towards the City and Canary Wharf.

As live-in landlords, we’re friendly, but tend to keep to ourselves and won’t expect a lot of interaction. It’s also not a party pad!

The room would suit someone whose working day is fully office-based. This is because our own work (involving vulnerable children and confidential financial information), means we need the flat to ourselves between 9.30am and 6.30pm.

Our ideal lodger would be a mature, non-smoker - perhaps someone working in Canary Wharf (30 minutes to your desk) or the City (via District/Central). We’re about half an hour away from London City Airport, and 45 minutes from the Eurostar at St. Pancras.

5 minutes to Bow Church (DLR); 10 minutes to Bow Road (District/H&C); bus routes 8 and 25 stop within a few minutes' walk. Convenient for Tesco at Roman Road or at Bromley-by-Bow (488 bus), and Westfield Stratford (276 or 339 bus).

Bills included. One month's rent (£900) plus deposit (£1,000) in advance. (We'd consider a Monday-to-Friday let for £800.) Notice period is two months, unless we've agreed a shorter let in advance.

To save you the first question most people seem to ask, yes, if this ad is active, the room is still available. 😆 Speak to you soon!
