Lovley double room with private bathroom

-as long as the ad is online, were are looking, so please do get in touch -

We signed the lease for an amazing house in Dalston starting on October 27th 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 next door (first floor - sorry for the mess in the video, the current tenants are in pre-moving stress).

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. Dogs unfortunately not.

The boring stuff: The room is available October 27th. 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.

PLEASE NOTE: We had someone dropping out last minute and are now looking for someone who can move in (or at least start paying rent) asap. We will be doing viewings on Monday the 27th, as we unfortunately couldn't get access to the property before (the two of us are only moving in on Sunday).

If you think you could be a good fit, message us with a little about you (and tell us your favourite hot drink, so we know you read the whole add 😉) and ideally let us know which times would work for you on Monday.

Looking forward to meeting you!
