Seeking a housemate with good energy for a home

The room is £890pcm, with monthly bills approximately £150pcm, including a fortnightly cleaner, insurance, and high-speed internet.

We’re an open-minded, queer-friendly household in our 8th year at this house. It’s a relaxed and cozy 3-bedroom, which we like to keep clean, and enjoy being able to use the home / garden to hang out and socialise occasionally, with friends over for birthdays, games or films. We appreciate mutual respect and good humour around the home; but oppressive, prejudice, negative and intolerant attitudes won't be welcome.

Current Household:
• Bane (English, pan, cis-male): cat dad and sometime gamer, who happens to be a creative multitasker working in fetish events, festivals, arts and entertainment.
• Jean (French, gay cis-male): fun-loving “French cliché” (minus the cooking skills), working corporate front-of-house during the week.
• Fritz (the star of the household), our friendly independent, 9-year-old neutered Tabby cat.

The Tenancy:
We will be looking to replace our current housemate on an annual rolling contract through the agent (Anthony Pepe). The contract start date for moving would be 16th March. The Rent is £890/month, with £820/DPS deposit, the bills are less than £150/month with a cleaner. The application will be subject to agency referencing & contract fee approx £50 (usually based on employment references, so benefits/ universal credit are not suitable).

The Room:
4.1m x 2.7m, is rear facing on the first floor, overlooking the garden. It's possible to have the room part/furnished, as the current housemate is moving back to Ireland and offering to sell their furniture on to the new tenant - including full wardrobe storage units, king-size ottoman storage bed & mattress (less than a year old), TV and cabinet.

The House:
We live in a 2-level maisonette on the ground and first floor of the building - 14 steps for upstairs bedroom, and a threshold step, and 2 steps down to rear the garden. We have our own private garden, entry and rear garden, with secure side gate entry. All the rooms are of a good size; with ‘clean linen’ plug-ins in communal throughways and plants throughout (of varying success)
• Entry/hallway.
• Shower Room/WC - with a large enclosure shower, awaiting a repaint from our agents.
• Huge lounge/dining area - with dining room table and chairs, as well as L-shaped sofa, home cinema/surround sound, Nintendo Switch dock, hue lighting and plenty of room for bike storage.
• Kitchen - Well fitted with lots of cupboard space and new appliances, fridge/freezer, gas hob, fan assisted oven/grill, air fryer, health grill (meat use), sodastream (gas subscription optional), microwave oven, kettle, Nespresso, dishwasher and washing machine.
• Bathroom/WC - large bathroom with bath and wash area.
• Balcony - small balcony/sun trap facing the front of the house, with a couple of chairs and net to stop birds invading.

The Area:
We are set back away from the main road, on the rear corner of a crescent, with green space around the rear, side and in front of the property, parks nearby and New River Walk 2 roads back, for ducks, koi and turtles. We are well situated to lots of bars, pubs, restaurants and cinemas, as well as having a Tesco and Sainsbury's within a few minutes walk.

Travel Connections:
• 5 mins walk to Essex Road (national rail).
• 10 mins walk to Canonbury (Overground) or Highbury & Islington (Overground/Underground).
• 15 mins walk to Angel (Underground).
• 20+ mins walk to Old Street and Dalston.
