Highgate Home > Super King & Double + Garden Deck

Available immediately; October 1st - December 20th (can be flexible with end date +1/2 days). I’m ideally looking for a pair, or trio, for the whole period, but am open to singles taking each room.
Viewings in person/via video on Tuesday 30th Sept & Wednesday 1st Oct this week, can also do later in the week if we don’t fill it asap.

It’s important to me that my home remains a cosy safe place, so even while I won’t be living there I am quite keen on keeping it as a relatively liberal household (i. e pro Palestine, LGBTQI+, anti-racist). As I might be subletting to two separate occupants I’m keen to know a little about you, your interests/work schedule etc. so I can find suitable pairings if necessary.

My cleaner will also come to do the house while I’m away, she’s a refugee from Syria and lives in the flat below me (she also has keys but I’ll pass on details for 1:1 communication). This cost is included in the rental.

Rent - Deposit - Bills:

Rent is inclusive of all bills (heating/water/internet/cleaner etc).
For the master bedroom = £325 for 1 person per week (£1300pcm), £400 for a couple per week (£1600pcm).
For the second double bedroom = £275 for 1 person per week (£1100pcm).
On acceptance I’ll be asking for first month’s rent and x0.5/months (as deposit) up front. Then rolling per month for the remainder (if applicable). Deposit will be returned 1 week after move out and I’d only subtract costs if anything is broken, or seriously damaged during your stay. I’ll also ask for a copy of your passport, ID card/drivers or provisional license, and a reference/emergency/accountability contact.

The house:

The living room is complete with a large TV and Xbox/PS2 gaming. It also has an elite air purifier and large solid oak table either for working or can pull it out to host larger dinner parties.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you’d need, electric oven and hobs, full fridge & freezer + additions like a rice cooker, bread maker, juicer, ice cream maker and a large Berkey water filter.

Large master bedroom with full space in cupboards and chest of draws. Desk and orthopedic kneeling chair (can also use a normal one). Grounding sheet on super king bed, black out curtains. Suitable for single or a couple.

The second double room has a double bed, plus a gorgeous vintage wooden dresser, railing, shelves, and black out blinds. Suitable for one person.

Bathroom complete with shower/bath, a washer/dryer machine and fair storage space for all toiletries and necessities. It opens up to the garden deck which is a gorgeous sun trap for a morning coffee!

The house has recently been renovated so all the rooms have a fresh coat of paint. We didn’t have time to sort the hallway which currently shows signs of age and a fair few cracks - bit more of a classic naughties London vibe! While there are x6 chairs in the house currently they’re all quite a mixed match, so I’ll be ordering x4 additional chairs for the kitchen/dinning set up once you move in!

Surrounding Area:

It’s a 10 minute walk to the nearest norther line stations, equidistant between Highgate and East Finchley. It’s situated on Archway Road, which is a well lit main road and makes travel back home in the late evening very safe and comfortable.

Other local highlights include…
12 min walk to Kenwood House/Hampstead Heath.
6mins Highgate Woods.
6 mins to Cherry Tree Woods.
20 min walk Highgate Village & Muswell Hill.
15 mins walk to the London’s Parkland Walk (a gorgeous trail down a disused train track that takes you all the way to Finsbury Park).
Plenty of lovely local pubs (The Bagaloo, The Woodman) and Jackson’s Lane Theatre.
