Lovely double room in Lower Clapton

Hello, we have a double room available immediately in our three-bedroom Victorian home located in E5 off Lower Clapton Rd/Chatsworth Rd, 15mins walk either way to Homerton, Clapton and Hackney Central/Hackney Downs on the Overground. Plenty buses available: 242 and 308 stop at the end of the road, all others run from Lower Clapton Rd (38-55-106-253-254-425).

About the room:

Freshly painted, brand-new carpet, bed and mattress. Comes partially furnished with wardrobe, chest of drawers, and a couple of shoe racks. There's plenty room for a desk, you can add/remove items based on what you're bringing.

Rent for the room is currently £763. Deposit is £350. You'll be taking over the lease until renewal is due in April 2027. Bills on top amount to roughly £150, depending on how harsh the winter is. Both gas and electricity are on key; we charge as we go along. Council Tax band C.

There is no agency, we deal directly with the landlady. I have been living in this house since 2008 and have maintained a good relationship with her and her husband who also does maintenance around the house when needed.

About the house:

We occupy the lower flat of a split-level terrace on a very quiet street. There are two bedrooms downstairs, yours by entrance and Phil's at the back, mine is located on the split level next to the bathroom (shower/bathtub). Living area upstairs has a separate kitchen and a large living room with high ceilings and a beautiful bay window on to the street below.

You'll be sharing with two 40yo+ professionals - myself (Italian) work Mon-Fri doing maintenance for an arts charity and I look after the plants; Phil (French) works 4days on/4days off in security and plays guitar. We are both well past the age of partying and are looking for the usual: quiet, considerate, clean and sociable, preferably 30+.

No couples, no pets. 

Accessibility:

Sadly, the house is not accessible. There are five steps down from the street to the front door, five steps up to the split level, and five more to the upstairs living area. Benefits are accepted.
