Double rooms available in hackney

Sadly my flatmates Max (27) and Matt (34) are moving out at the end of October – Max is off to live with his girlfriend and Matt is heading north – so there’ll be two double rooms free in our cosy Homerton house.

We’re about a five-minute walk from Chatsworth Road, which has loads of nice shops, cafés and restaurants, plus an independent cinema that does £6 tickets on Mondays. On Sundays there’s the Chatsworth Road Market with great food, produce and vintage bits, which really brings the area to life. There are also some lovely pubs nearby – the Adam & Eve is a favourite – and the canal and Hackney Marshes are right on the doorstep, perfect for running, walks or just unwinding. Homerton Overground is about a 15-minute walk, and the 242 bus goes from just around the corner straight into the City at Aldgate. It’s also a great spot for cycling with off-road routes to Stratford, Victoria Park, Tottenham and beyond.

Both rooms are good-sized doubles, light and comfortable with space for a bed, desk, wardrobe – all the usual bits. The house itself has a large open-plan kitchen/dining area that leads out into the garden, where we’ve had plenty of summer meals. There’s also a decent sized living room for relaxing with Netflix or Prime, and a sofa bed for when friends stay over. We’ve got two bathrooms (one with a walk-in shower, the other with a bath/shower) and some extra storage which always comes in handy.

Bills come to around £100 a month, covering council tax, internet, gas, electricity and water.

You’d be living with me – I’m David (most of my friends call me Dee), 38, and I work as a Senior Manager at a SaaS company in Old Street. I’ve been in the house for over a year now and really like the chilled, friendly vibe we’ve got going. It’s definitely not a party house, but I do enjoy a trip to the pub or a Sunday roast, and I’d love to find housemates who are similarly easy-going, considerate and sociable.

If you’re interested, drop me a message with a little bit about yourself and when you’d be free to come and see the place. The rooms are available from November 1st, with a little flexibility if needed.
