Large double room unfurnished or partly furnished

This is an advert for room in the same flat where another double room (Bedroom 2) and a single room (Study room) are advertised in Ad reference no. 18296378

I’m looking for a friendly and considerate professional to share my tenancy for a beautiful, bright and clean first-floor maisonette in Bowes Park.

The flat is on a peaceful, tree-lined street with excellent transport links:

2-min walk from Green Lanes
5-minute bus ride or 25-minute walk to Wood Green station
20-minute walk to Bounds Green station
15-minute walk to Bowes Park station, with direct trains to Finsbury Park, Highbury & Islington and Moorgate stations

The area has a lovely neighbourhood feel, with independent grocers, cafés, bakeries, restaurants, green spaces and local amenities nearby. Myddleton Road is also close by, with cafés, bars, restaurants, a monthly Sunday market and occasional local events. Tesco Express, a GP surgery, pharmacy and gym are all within easy reach.

Rooms available

MASTER BEDROOM

This is a large, bright room with characterful features. Namely, a big north-facing 3-sided bay sash window with new blackout curtains. It also has a beautiful cast-iron fireplace with a painted wooden mantelpiece and decorative tiles. It can be unfurnished or partly furnished (with furniture currently shown in Bedroom 2 in that is also available, Ad ref: 18296378).

Please note, only one of the two double rooms will be rented, please don't contact me if you would like to rent two double rooms. One could only rent the single room (study room) together with either the Master bedroom advertized here or Bedroom 2 advertised in Ad: ref: 18296378

The flat

This is freshly painted, clean and characterful flat with new sash double-glazed windows all around.

The flat has a lovely shared living room, where a sofa bed and desk will be added. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a table and a brand-new fridge/freezer. There is one very clean bathroom with a large dink and a bathtub. There is also a special closed area for the washing machine with extra storage for cleaning products, bowls, e. t. c.

There is also a beautiful private south-facing garden, accessed via stairs — perfect for enjoying in the warmer months and where you could put your own pots and plant and do some planting in the ground.

There are two more rooms in the flat, a second double room and a single room.

Bills are estimated at around £160–£170 per person per month if we are two people only, plus any cleaner’s fees if we decide to have a cleaner. (The Council tax for the flat is band C. We are in Haringey council).

About me
You’ll be sharing the flat, with just me, and I’ll also be moving into the flat shortly from East London. I’ve lived in the UK for 17 years and currently work as an editor for a biology journal, having previously worked as a University researcher. I go into the office around twice a week, on flexible days, and I’m often away every couple of months for work or to visit family — so you’ll regularly have the flat to yourself.
Outside work, I enjoy music, photography, the arts and follow international affairs. At weekends I’m usually out seeing friends, going for coffee, visiting markets, exhibitions, events or gigs.
I’m friendly and sociable, and happy to chat over cooking or share the occasional glass of wine, if the general mood is such, while also respecting privacy and personal space.
I like to keep the home clean and uncluttered — especially the kitchen and bathroom — so I’m looking for someone similarly considerate who will help keep shared spaces tidy and pleasant.

I am the lead tenant, and the letting agency/landlady will require proof of employment, as well as financial checks. A one-month rent deposit will also be required.
