From 1 Match Double room with a view in Bow

ROOM AVAILABLE FROM 1 MARCH.

Hi. As live-in landlords, we are a gay couple (aged 43 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, Monday to Friday 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 (£895) plus deposit (£1,030) in advance. (We'd consider a Monday-to-Friday let for £750 and a proportionally reduced deposit.) 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!
