Bright Double Room in Spacious 2-Bed Homerton Flat

A bright double room is available in a spacious, light-filled two-bedroom flat in Homerton, ideal for someone tidy, friendly and respectful who is looking for a comfortable place that feels like home.

The room is in a generous two-bed flat on the second (+top) floor of a quiet building. There is no lift, but the flat itself is very spacious for two people, with lots of natural light, good storage, a shared bathroom, a separate second toilet and sink, a living room, and a kitchen.
The bedroom comfortably fits a double bed, wardrobe or hanging rail, desk, chair, chest of drawers and bedside table. Both bedrooms are the same size, so the room feels well-balanced rather than like a smaller spare room.

The flat is officially offered unfurnished, but many items are available to buy from the current tenant, including a bedframe, desk, desk chair, hanging rail, chest of drawers, bedside table, dining table and chairs, bookcases and other useful pieces. The sofa is jointly owned by the current tenants and would ideally be bought by the new tenant from either the outgoing or remaining tenant.
Rent is currently £1,075 per month, with bills separate at around £150 per month all in, covering council tax, electricity, gas, water and Wi-Fi. The deposit is £1,125. There are no agency or admin fees that the outgoing tenant is aware of, although the new tenant will need to pass agency reference checks.
The room is available from 11 September, with a little flexibility if needed. This would be a new contract with the remaining tenant. There is no fixed minimum tenancy length, but someone looking for a longer-term home would be preferred. Unfortunately, the room is not suitable for couples and the flat is non-smoking.
The remaining housemate is friendly, quiet, clean and considerate. He mainly works from home in his room, generally keeps a 9–5ish routine, and enjoys cooking, video games and music. The household is relaxed and independent, but still warm and friendly, with occasional dinners together and casual chats rather than a party-house feel.
The flat would suit a professional or mature student who is tidy, respectful, sociable when it feels natural, and happy to contribute to keeping the home clean and comfortable. Working from home is completely fine, and the current setup has worked well for two people working remotely. The household is LGBTQ+ friendly.
The flat has a washer dryer, good Wi-Fi already set up, gas heating, a shared bathroom, and a second toilet and sink that is currently also used for storage. There is no bike storage inside the building, but bike hangars are available on the street for around £60 per year. There is no private parking, but on-street parking is available with a permit.
The location is a real highlight: the flat is on a quiet street but very close to the energy of Chatsworth Road, with plenty of cafes, bars, places to eat and local shops nearby. Homerton High Street is around five minutes away, with bus routes, Co-op, Morrisons, corner shops and other everyday essentials close by. A larger Tesco is around a 20-minute walk away or easy by bus.
Homerton Overground is about a 7–9 minute walk away, with easy access towards Highbury & Islington and Stratford, connecting well to other tube and rail lines. There are also lots of buses from Homerton High Street, around five minutes from the flat. Hackney Marshes, Millfields Park, the canal and nearby outdoor spaces make the area great for walks, running, cycling or just getting some fresh air.
