Lovley double room in gorgeous house

We just signed the lease for an amazing house in Dalston and are looking for a third person to join us.

The house is huge: 3 bedrooms, 2,5 bathrooms, big eat-in kitchen (with dishwasher), garden, utility room with washing machine, a big, separate living room, tons of storage all over the house (and an additional attic) and parking. It's semi-furnished and we also do have quite a bit of furniture to make it a lovely home.

The room is on the smaller side but still fits a double bed (included), a desk and comes with a built-in wardrobe and its own full bathroom. It’s not ensuite but the bathroom is right next door.

Location couldn’t be better: The house is in walking distance to several overground stations: 10min to Hackney Central (Mildmay Line) and Hackney Downs (Weaver-10min to Liverpool Street) and 15min to Dalston Junction (Windrush). Bus stop basically in front of the house. It’s 3min walk from Hackney Downs Park and 10min to all the bustle of Dalston with its shops, restaurants, pubs, clubs and Ridley Road market.

A bit about us: We are two friends in our mid-30s. Larissa is a queer journalist turned PhD student (Politics at Goldsmiths). They enjoy cooking (vegetarian), heading to the pub, a nice gig, the odd rave or escaping the city all together for a hiking trip. Virgina is working at the British Library and doing a PhD part-time in Visual Cultures, also at Goldsmiths. She’s really into movies, active in the union and loves having friends over for dinner. We’re both vegetarian but you don’t have to be.

We are looking for someone in their 30s, but flexible for the right person. It’s important to us to find someone who wants the house to be a home not just a place to crash and is interested in building community. While we have our independent lives, we also love spending time with our flatmates and usually have become friends with them in the past. So much nicer than living with strangers. We very much like a clean and friendly living environment. No party house, but we love to have friends over for dinner, (vegetarian) BBQs, etc. (and we're planning a Halloween-housewarming-party!). Cats are welcome TBC by the agent.

The boring stuff: The room is available October 26th (that’s also the day we are moving in). Its 1000£ plus bills (we’re not living there yet but would estimate 100-120£ pp pcm). You would be added to the lease and have to pass reference checks, but the agency seems pretty relaxed.

If you’re interested, message us a bit about you. Ideally, we would meet with people on Monday (29th) and Tuesday (30th). Let us know if and when you are available on these days. Because we’re not living at the house yet, the idea is to meet for coffee first and then arrange a viewing with the current tenants if the vibe is right.

Let us know if you have any questions.
