Friendly Double-Zone 2 Incl ALL Bill + swim lake

Welcome !

We have two rooms coming available in a large Victorian home - short term or long term

First room available from Sunday 26th October
Second room available from Monday 3 November.

Both rooms are large doubles - so lots of space and both rooms face south, and have lots of Natural light

The house is a large double fronted 3 storey Victorian house with a large wooded garden.
The house is split in two, with a separate lounge and kitchen upstairs for the lodgers. and downstairs there is a separate kitchen and lounge for the owners (3 adults - aged 27, 25 and 20) share the ground floor kitchen and lounge.

The shared spaces are the entrance, hallway and bathrooms - there are three bathrooms and also a separate toilet on the ground floor.

We are looking for friendly single people to rent our home, which currently has a mixture of NZ, English, Australian and Austrian lodgers.
Current occupants are all young professionals (Civil Engineer, Bio medical PHD researchers, Economics, Business) with a range of interests – so sports (open water swimming, climbing and running), environment and the arts, plus the relaxation of watching movies from the shared lounges.

Whist we like to respect everyone's privacy, we also like to be sociable too - so the occasional group meal (in the weekend) and a movie night are great ways to unwind and share a glass of vino. Note: we are not a "party house" as we all have to work during the week.
So a friendly and respectful home that hopefully you will feel happy to join !!

Kitchen cleanliness is the recipe to happiness - so we looking for someone who is quick to clean up after themselves, and to share in the communal cleaning tasks - especially taking out the rubbish and most importantly -recycling of rubbish, which is mandatory in Hackney - the borough of the house.

If you like to cycle to work, your bike can be stored in the back garden (for added security).
