Single room in a friendly house of 5!

We have a single room available in our lovely house, a 4 minute walk from Canonbury Overground and an 8 minute walk from Highbury & Islington station.

The room:
This single room has a lot of overhead storage space and a full size wardrobe (with in-built mirror!). The desk and chair in the picture belongs to the current housemate, but there is a desk set in the house that you can take if you'd like. The view from this room is lovely, overlooking the back garden and trees with full privacy (and lovely light in the mornings!).

The room is available from 01 October 2025.

The house:
The house has a large front room with comfy sofas and TV (with Prime, Netflix, BBC etc), a big kitchen with a dining area, shared front garden maintained by gardeners, a private back garden with a barbecue, and 3.5 bathrooms in total between the 5 housemates (2 bedrooms are ensuite).

You will share the main bathroom on 3rd floor (pictured), on the same floor as your room, with 2 other housemates (Rosie and Chloe!). There is also a separate toilet on the ground floor.

The area:
Canonbury is a beautiful leafy area that is incredibly well-connected but just out of the way enough to be quiet. We're just an 8 min walk from Highbury & Islington station at the top of Upper Street. The overground will get you to Dalston in 2 mins, Shoreditch in 9 mins, Hackney Central in 5 mins or London Fields / Broadway Market in 20 mins. If you're heading into the centre, Oxford Circus is just 15 mins away. We have some great pubs and restaurants near us on top of gyms, coffee shops, and lovely Highbury Fields and Clissold Park.

The flatmates:

Chloe is 30, a researcher working in the tech industry. She's been in London for 4 years previously in the US and grew up in HK. She likes going to gigs (anything jazz/soul/R&B/comedy), picnicking in the park, yoga, or biking around the neighbourhood, also a coffee lover!

Aimee, 29, grew up just north of London in Hertfordshire and works in fundraising for an arts university and gallery. She works from home a few days each week. Loves days out to art galleries and museums, going on short trips around the UK and Europe, swimming in Hampstead ponds, yoga, cooking, and baking. Enjoys reading, painting and knitting to relax when she's at home.

Chris, 35, a Northerner who enjoys cooking and travelling. Started a healthy drinks company, and works managing actors and doing drinks events. Works from home occasionally.

Rosie, 29 and originally from the Highlands, is now working in fashion marketing. During the week she's usually working in the office (wfh on Fridays), but loves making the most of her weekends, normally going for a run around Victoria Park, grabbing a coffee and pastry, doing pilates or reading, or heading to a gallery or museum. She also loves travelling when she gets the chance.

We all love living here together and are looking for someone that likes the occasional chitchats in the kitchen, going for a walk together or film evenings. We all have our own schedules, and are often out and about with friends or relaxing in our rooms, but we love a chat when we're in at the same time. Ideally, we want someone that is friendly and considerate, clean and tidy, and is looking for a house that feels like a home. ultimately, we want someone who fits in well and will enjoy living here as much as we do!

Bills are not included and are:
£66 per month to the landlord (council tax, water, tv license, fibre broadband).
£42 per month for gas and electricity (usage dependent) paid to Chris.

This is a private let with the landlord so there are no agency fees etc.

If you're interested, please drop us a message with a bit about yourself. We are excited to know more about you, so please tell us about yourself (background, hobbies, occupation, day-to-day, schedule, etc.), how long you expect to stay, if you are okay with a small single-bed room, so we have a better idea before we meet! We’re looking to host viewings on the evenings of Monday 8 September and Tuesday 9 September, so we will be in touch before then.
