Cozy double room in Finsbury Park area

Hi folks!

We will have a double room available in our bright and spacious flat from mid December (exact date can be discussed but likely around 13 Dec), as our flatmate Marloes is sadly leaving us after almost 4 years because she's buying a flat.

About the flat:
The flat is in a Victorian terraced house on a quiet street just around the corner from Clissold Park, Woodberry Wetlands, and Finsbury Park. Finsbury Park station is about a 10 minute walk, and Manor House station is about a 5 minute walk. There are plenty of shops & supermarkets around, and the fancy boutiques of Stoke Newington are just a 15 min walk away.

The flat is modern with a large open-plan living room/kitchen and also loads of outside space - we have both a terrace and a (concrete) garden.

You'd be moving in with:
- Marianne (she/her, 29, from Brighton)
Works as a Scientist in a company just outside of London. She likes going for a run in Clissold Park, grabbing a local coffee at Brewed at the weekends, and cooking vegan/veggie meals. She’s also recently started playing football — anyone want to join for a kick-about?

- Nathan (He/him, 28, Australian)
Works all around London in construction. Enjoys all the usual perks of living in this city, attending live events, trying new restaurants, travelling with mates and wondering where all his cash has gone! Also loves his downtime, loitering around with his camera, reading, cooking and sometimes even knitting.

- Niamh (she/her, 31, New Zealand)
Is also brand new to the household as she will be moving in early December! She's a landscape architect, recently returned to work from a 6 month sabbatical in Europe, and loves crafty activities like pottery & sewing. She also enjoys going charity shopping, on bike rides, to gigs and shows, or to get involved in local community gardens when she can.

We all work varying schedules, so generally during weekday nights the house is pretty chill, usually with someone around to watch a film/show. On the weekends we're often out and about, but we also have friends over for dinner occasionally - always with the invitation to join! We’re a fairly social house and we all get on, but have our own lives and do our own thing as well.

About the room:
The room is small but cosy, and gets good light through the (double-glazed) window right next to the bed. It comes furnished with a bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and shelves, but unfortunately there's no space for a desk, which means it's not ideal for working from home.

The boring bits:
Rent is £700 per calendar month (bills not included, about £95 per month). We also have a wonderful weekly cleaner who we take turns paying (works out to about £35 each per month).

The room will be free from mid December, exact move in date to be discussed.

We have a contract with a lovely, responsive private landlord. Your name will be on the contract which you will sign when you move in. We are only interested in people looking for a long term place to live. We require a month's rent and bills up front to hold the room, no deposit required.

About you:
We're looking for a considerate housemate, who cleans up after themselves and will respect the house we all love to live in and call our home! We're open to any (or neither!) gender, but would prefer someone roughly between the ages of 27-39 to fit in with the current housemates.

It would be great to find someone who we can get on with, who wants to join for movie nights, house dinners or barbecues in the summer, but also has their own things going on.

Viewing dates (exact timings TBC):
Sun 23 Nov - afternoon
Wed 26 Nov - evening

If interested:
Please send a message with some info about yourself, and any questions you may have. In your message please include your preferred viewing date plus contact number so we can message you directly to invite you for a viewing.

We hope to hear from you soon!

Marianne, Nathan & Niamh
P. S. Please ignore the blurriness of the garden pics (they're the only ones we have of summer)!
