Bright double in mews cottage 15 mins to King's X

Bright double room in a quiet, clean and charming 2-bed mews cottage 15 mins from King’s Cross, 25 mins from Old Street. Monday to Friday lets considered at a reduced rate.

The cottage is on a (very!) quiet square just off the Stroud Green road. I renovated it last year with a lot of love, and try to keep it clean and tidy. The ground floor is an open plan kitchen and living room, with new appliances, a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Upstairs has my room, a shared bathroom and this double room. It has a private garden and an ice bath if you are that way inclined! A parking permit is available for purchase from the council for around £15-20 a month depending on your car emissions.

The cottage is very close to the Parkland Walk 3-mile nature trail and within minutes of plenty of supermarkets and good independent restaurants, cafes, pubs, dryer cleaner, butcher, pharmacies, GP practices - everything you could want. It's also a 15 minute walk or 5 min bus to the gorgeous Crouch End which has more shops and restaurants, and three gyms.

Transport: A 15 minute walk or 5 minutes bus (the bus stop is a 1 min walk from the house) to Finsbury Park Zone 2 station for the excellent Victoria & Piccadilly underground lines (both with trains every 1-3 minutes during peak hours). Superb for fast access to Central London: 5 mins to Kings Cross; 10 Mins to Oxford Circus.

Finsbury Park also has a train station with trains to Moorgate and Old Street. Direct links to Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton.

About me (live-in landlord): I'm a kind, creative and busy professional in my mid 30s. I work for the NHS, a few days a week from home and the rest in the office. I work hard, so in the week I spend my evenings either working or seeing friends. At the weekends I enjoy the arts (theatre, music of all sorts, art shows), writing my novel, hosting dinners, going on trips outside of London. I'm Jewish (ish ish ish - non practicing!) and gay.

I'm looking for someone friendly and considerate who is looking for a place to call home. It would be lovely to find someone who would like to share some meals in the evenings, spend some time together at the weekends and with whom I have some things in common. I live with my two very friendly cats - Tolly and Melky, so cat lovers preferred!

It would be great if you could tell me a few basics about yourself - age, occupation, work pattern, expectations - in your reply. Thanks.

ID & references will be needed, and a rental agreement will be provided for clarity on both sides.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
