1 bedroom in 2bed garden house, no water bill

My current flatmate is moving out, so I am looking for someone friendly, respectful, and easy to live with. Our house is cosy and well-balanced in size, with a small garden that we try to keep tidy and green. Downstairs, we have an open-plan living and dining area, along with a bathroom. Upstairs are the bedrooms and a small WC with a shower.

The available bedroom comes furnished with a double bed, large wardrobe, chest of drawers, and desk.

We are Forest Gate Zone 3 near Stratford
The area is well connected and convenient—around 5–10 minutes from Forest Gate (Elizabeth Line station) and about a 10-minute bus ride to Stratford. There are plenty of local amenities, including Lidl, Tesco, Co-op, cafés, and it is generally a quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood.

Bills:
- No water bill
- Council tax: £87.50 per person
- Wi-Fi (we will be changing provider when you move in)
- Gas and electricity vary— we have paid between £35-70

A bit about me: I’m a social worker, open-minded, easy going, and originally from Greece, though I’ve lived in the UK for over 20 years. I enjoy vinyl, concerts, contemporary dance, and theatre. I live a fairly calm lifestyle and am not a party person, although could go the occasional club —I’d like to share the space with someone similar.

I have a good relationship with my current flatmate and would like to find someone who values communication, mutual respect, and a positive living environment. Ideally, this would feel like more than just a place to sleep.

We have private landlords and they will do reference checking but generally pretty straight forward.
