Double room studio, self-contained room E.Finchley

Available from 1st December— East Finchley, London N2

if you llike your own privacy and order to things this is a completely private, very cozy, warmly heated lodging without sharing with others other than the entrance hall.
Please note It is a lodger room within my property not an annex or a separate studio flat with it's own address.

The rest of my flat is only occupied by myself and my quiet, easygoing 7-year-old.

Thanks for reading — most key info is covered.

7-min walk to East Finchley tube Northern line.
1 min walk to High Street.
Small garden accessible occasionally via shared lounge/bedroom/playroom by prior agreement (e. g., for drying large laundry).

SHORT STAYS- READVERTISING FEE EXPLAINED
Because I don’t lock people into strict year-long contracts, it offers you the flexibility of a shorter stay — six months is preferred, but as little as two/three months can be agreed — without the commitment of a full year.

The re-advertising fee (part of listed deposit) is essentially the cost of that flexibility, as finding new lodgers more often is both costly and time-consuming. I’m flexible on when you leave, except notice perod cannot run during December, July and August please.

The £125 re-advertising fee applies to stays of 12 months or less and is fully refunded if you stay 13 months or more.

NOTICE PERIOD
One full CALENDAR month’s notice is required i. e. You give notice latest at end of one month then the notice period runs from the 1st to the 31th of the following month.

I ask notice period is not to run during the following months due to busy school holidays and potential travel plans thus my unavailability to arrange viewings to replace you: December, July & August.
Your understanding and planning to avoid these months is greatly appreciated, and this will be part of the lodger agreement.

NOTES
A short-term lodger may potentially stay in our adjacent bedroom on occasion — this has never happened before and likely won’t; mentioned for transparency — it would have no impact on your privacy in the self contained lodger room.

3 BASIC HOUSE RULES
1- Please remove outside shoes either just outside the front door or as you enter to help keep the hall clean.
2-Close the front door gently — a soft click is enough; no need to slam or push hard.
3- There's no curfew — come and go as you please. Just kindly keep noise to a minimum at all times.
Partial Council Tax Band D included.
