Weekday quiet friendly houseshare Dalston/ Stokey

Bright, quiet double room in the heart of Dalston, Monday to Friday (Sun-Thurs) let, £650 pcm, all bills included.

Looking for a calm weekday base in London? This light, spacious top-floor double is a peaceful retreat just 100 metres from Dalston’s buzzing main street.

East-facing, top floor (2nd) room, flooded with morning light.
1.4 x 2m double bed with hypoallergenic mattress.
Desk, swivel chair and cupboard.
Bathroom with shower on the same floor, plus a second shower room downstairs (both shared).

A light, warm, wonderfully quiet three-storey terraced house on the edge of a small, friendly estate. Every room opens off the central stairwell, so you get real privacy. The good-sized kitchen/diner opens onto a sunny little garden patio.

I’m a semi-retired yoga therapist and hypnotherapist, mostly working from home. Your other housemate is a professional woman in her 50s who has lived here for nearly four years. We’re friendly and sociable, happy to chat in the kitchen or share the occasional meal, and we value quiet downtime just as much. I’ve shared my home for many years and made lasting friends this way.

Location
• Dalston Kingsland station: 6-7 minutes’ walk
• Dalston Junction: 10-12 minutes’ walk
• Plenty of buses, and a short ride to the City and Liverpool Street
• On your doorstep: coffee shops, great-value restaurants, bars, jazz clubs, a cinema, an art gallery, the Arcola and Tower Theatres, EartH, Ridley Road market, Turkish supermarkets, M&S, Co-op, Aldi and a large Sainsbury’s. There’s even a dry cleaner and clothes repairer at the end of our street.
• Clissold Park, Abney Park and Hackney Downs are all within 15 minutes’ walk, with a small park 5-6 minutes away.

This is a Monday-Friday (Sun-Thurs) let, four nights a week, ideal if you have a permanent home elsewhere and work in London. You’re welcome to leave your belongings here at weekends. I just ask that the room is left tidy, as friends or family occasionally stay (I provide their bedding and clean afterwards).

The details
• £650 pcm by standing order, with all bills included
• Deposit of one month’s rent
• Broadband and TV licence included
• Full use of communal areas and kitchen equipment
• Tenancy agreement signed by both of us, plus proof of ID

I’m looking for a friendly, responsible, non-smoking woman over 32 in full-time employment.

To enquire, please tell me a little about yourself and confirm you’ve understood this is a four-nights-a-week let (no weekends).
