---

A double room is available on 5th April in this gorgeous converted Victorian warehouse, located just around the corner from Highbury & Islington station on a quiet private mews.

🏠 THE HOUSE:

The newly converted Victorian warehouse is set across two floors with high ceilings and light flooding in from all directions. It really is a unique space and is kitted out with all of the mod cons (induction hob, washing machine, dishwasher, oven, microwave). There is an upstairs bathroom with power shower and separate downstairs toilet.

The house is really comfortable and beautifully decorated with retro Danish furniture in the living room and clean and modern kitchen fittings. I'm actually redecorating the living room at the moment, so it will look slightly different from the photos (but it will be beautiful - the wall will be terracotta and there will be a new rug and cushions and a large mirror)

Your room has a double bed, triple wardrobe, shelving unit and dressing table / desk (or room for your own desk if you don't want to use this)

The house is great for storage too - each of the bedrooms has a large mezzanine area, which is great for storing boxes, suitcases and larger items such as skis.

You will have access to the locked bike storage room, shared terrace area and private parking outside the house.

📍 LOCATION:

The location is absolutely fantastic being moments away from Highbury & Islington station, which has amazing transport links: (8 minutes to Moorgate, 9 minutes to Oxford Circus, 8 minutes to Shoreditch High Street, 5 minutes to Camden Road, 12 minutes to Hampstead Heath, and 15 minutes to Stratford Westfield).

Within 5 minutes walk out of the house there are 5 separate green spaces, including Highbury Fields, and all of the great bars, pubs, cosy cafes, restaurants and boutique shops that Upper Street has to offer.

There is a Tesco and Waitrose within 3 mins walking distance and a large Aldi and large Sainsbury's within 10-15 mins.

Maybe I'm biased but I really do think Islington is the best neighbourhood - it's got everything you need on your doorstep: all of the above plus cinemas, music venues, theatres, gyms and a canal - AND you can walk into the centre of town!

🧏‍♀️ ABOUT ME:

My name is Maya and I work freelance in advertising and am an abstract artist. I also qualified as a emotional wellbeing coach, so if you ever need someone to chat to, I'm here :)

I have a creative soul and I love painting, singing (I'm in a choir) and dancing whenever I can. I'm also quite into personal development and developing a growth mindset (and enjoy the occasional meditation retreat), and as a result I would consider myself to be quite self aware, considerate and empathetic.

I have plenty of friends but am always open to making more and I'm looking for someone to share this beautiful space with who will hopefully become a friend.

I'd be keen to live with someone who wanted to go to the gym or workout in the park together, see an exhibition or share the occasional meal together. I am always up for a friendly chat but also have my own life and am very respectful of people's personal space.

👩 ABOUT YOU:

I'm looking for someone who enjoys a friendly, peaceful home. This isn't a party house (although it's nice to have people over for dinner or drinks occasionally of course). But generally speaking, the house is a peaceful, cosy sanctuary to escape from the bustle of busy London. So if that's what you're looking for, great!

It's also for you if you are a non-smoking professional female in your mid 30s. You are someone who is enjoyable to live with and wouldn't mind a glass of wine from time to time (as well as being clean, uncluttered, responsible, considerate and reliable of course!).

You are naturally warm, open, friendly and easy to talk to. You are also someone who is interested in self development and has done the inner work to become self aware, compassionate and easy to communicate with. You care about people and the planet, have a creative side and/or enjoy a deep and meaningful as well as a good belly laugh. Extra points if you also are up for some karaoke!

You work outside of the house / in the office at least 3 days a week.

Vegetarians / Pescatarians preferred but it's not a deal-breaker if you're awesome!

If you have a small dog, I'd be open to that (I would need to meet the dog first), but otherwise no pets please.

❌️ SOME NON-NEGOTIABLES (based on previous experience):

You are happy to clean every other week as I really love to come home to a clean and tidy house - so if this is an issue for you, please don't apply! On the other side of this, if you are obsessively clean and can't bear the occasional thing being left out then this also isn't the right space for you.

I am looking for someone who it is enjoyable to live with - meaning we might cook together on occasion, hang out and chat and have some sense of what's going on in each other's lives. If you're looking to just live in your room then also please don't apply!

Finally, you are a good communicator! I really think this is essential when it comes to a happy living environment. I am very open in my communication and think it's important to bring things up in a light way when they inevitably come up, rather than keep them to yourself for fear of confrontation and then let things fester. If you struggle to communicate openly and maturely, this probably isn't the right space for you.

It's also worth noting that I sometimes paint in the living room. I have another space I go to to paint, but I like to get my paints out here and there at home to keep up my practice, and you're welcome to join me! I always clean up after myself too, but might leave a painting out to dry, so if you have a problem with that then this probably isn't the space for you.

💛 THIS SOUNDS GREAT! SO NOW WHAT?:

If you're interested in seeing the house and meeting, please get in touch with a bit of info about yourself as per the below and we can arrange a viewing:

Viewing slots are limited so I will only invite people that I think would be a good fit, so the more you can bring yourself to life in your message the better!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Maya 💛
