Lovely double room in 5-bed houseshare, N5

We have a room available in a large house in the N5 area (Highbury / Stoke Newington) as our roommate is sadly moving to another city. You will be sharing with four others in their early to late thirties.

As you can see from the photos, the room and the house are lovely (if a little scruffy in places), importantly, there’s lots of space and it’s good value! If you're interested, please get in contact and tell us a little bit about yourself and what you're looking for.

We're looking for a male housemate (to balance out the house) aged at least 30 years or older, working professional (so that means no students, really sorry! Also no-one who is looking for work and/or only temporarily living in London) and the room isn't for a couple unfortunately. As much as we like pets too, we are not able to take them.

The room is on the third floor at front of the house. It's a big sized double room with a wooden floor and high ceiling. It will come with a bed and a wardrobe.

The house has a large kitchen with separate sitting room, a newly renovated main bathroom, an additional toilet and (new) shower room and a nice south-facing walled garden with patio.

The location is great - about 30 seconds walk to the gorgeous Clissold Park (with deer and goats), 10 minutes walking distance to Arsenal and Finsbury Park tubes and 20 minutes to Canonbury Overground. Number 4, 19, 341, 141 and other buses leave from the ends of the road including night buses.

Current housemates have lived in the house for around 6 months to 9 years. We are all individual people but are very sociable on the occasions when we're all in the same place at the same time - BBQs in the summer, Sunday roasts in the winter, and movies/tv nights.

Varied jobs include: Sound engineer/producer, graphic designer, tech/finance and music supervisor. We like: photography, art, cycling, cooking, travel, music, films, festivals, theatre, London adventures and other stuff besides.

House has fast fibre optic wifi, big TV, washing machine, instant hot water, sash windows, wooden floors, high ceilings and faux fireplaces. Decor is a bit dated in places but that’s reflected in the price.

Laidback landlord leaves us alone for the most part and is quick to help solve any problems with the house.

The rent for the room is £590pcm, with a £590 deposit. All bills are split equally - around 100 each per month to include council tax, gas and electricity, water, fibre optic broadband, TV licence.

The room is available from the end of June the latest but could move in earlier if possible and we love for someone to stay long-term.

We are looking for someone like minded, so when you’re sending a message, could you please tell us a bit about yourself. We are holding viewings next week.
