En-suite double room with private access to balcon

Hello,

Unfortunately, our flatmate Divya is moving away and me and Martina are looking for a new flatmate to take the room.

About the room/flat

The room is an en-suite double room with access to the balcony. This is the biggest room in the flat and the bathroom has a bath. Price: £1,250

There is a shared living room and kitchen, along with a storage room.

The apartment complex is gated and a new build, with 24/7 concierge, a communal rooftop, bike storage and potentially parking space (the latter is rented separately).

The tendency starts from 31st October. It’s a 12-months contract with a 6 months break clause. We are looking for someone long term.

Bills are roughly £120-£150 depending on the months (winter times are usually a bit more expensive but we’ve always been mindful of having the heating on). Bills are paid monthly and as a total are usually:
· Water £15
· Council tax (band D) £172
· Electricity £25-£50 (depending on the month)
· Hot water/Heating £30-£60 (depending on the month. I’ve included the least and the most we’ve paid over the past year. The £60 was only over jan/feb)
· Internet £30

The tendency starts from 31st October. It’s a 12-months contract with a 6 months break clause but ideally we are looking for someone to stay for the full 12-months.

We rent directly from the landlady and the property manager. She is very responsive and has always fixed everything in the flat within a week max and always responds by the next day. She’s definitely one of the best landlady we’ve had so far.

Supermarket/gym
Supermarkets nearby are a big Lidl, Tesco express and a very big off licence.

There is a PureGym and a sport centre with a swimming pool nearby which is less than a 10 minutes walk. Virgin active gym is also a 15 mins away. We are a 2 minute walk to the canal as well.

In terms of transportation:
· Westferry DRL (7 mins walk)
· Limehouse DRL (10 mins walk)
· Canary Wharf Elizabeth Line and Jubilee line (15 mins walk)
· There are night busses as well which drop you 2 mins away from the flat

Near the area:
There are a couple of pubs nearby, takeaway places and some restaurants. You can also walk to Victoria park in 30 mins and loads of places in Canary Wharf.

Who will you be living with:
We are two girls in our mid-late twenties (I'm almost 27 and Martina is 28). We both met on SpareRoom last year and we're both Italian.

Vasundhra
I’ve been living in London for seven years and work in marketing and pr in the healthcare industry. I like to cook, travel, read and trying new restaurants or going to art galleries. I’ve been living in this flat for three years and I really love this flat! I like to socialise and do the usual things, but also like to have time on my own.

Martina
I've moved to London last year and prior to this I was in Edinburgh for 7 years. I work as a procurement manager and I'm also finishing my PhD. I like to cook, art, trying new coffee places and have also been loving living in the flat for the past year.

About you:
If this seems of interest, feel free to reach out and share some information about yourself (age, profession, interest, etc.).
For us it’s important that everyone is clean and that wants to make a flat a home, not just a room to come back to.

We’ve always had dinners with friends or friends coming over, but this is by no means a party flat.

We will only reply to ads which have a picture of you. The current flatmates were a man and a women and ideally it would be good to keep it the same. Unfortunately no couples and students, sorry!
