Double room in Victorian garden flat - Stratford

Double room available in Victorian ground-floor conversion flat, sharing with incredibly hip and cool* insurance lawyer**. Please read BORING BIT at the end of ad before making contact - thank you. Available from 9 December, possibly a few days earlier.

The room has stripped floorboards and comes with a built-in wardrobe and built-in chest of drawers, bedside table and king-size bed with Eve hybrid mattress. The room is double-glazed and warm; facing the back of the property, it is also quiet. The room could accommodate a small desk, if needed.

The flat has: a sitting room at the front of the property, with a small dining table; a small galley kitchen and bathroom at the rear. There is also a little garden to the rear of the property (green-fingered flatmate welcomed!).

The building is in a quiet terrace off the Portway, mainly families and young professionals, between Stratford Park (six tennis courts, floodlit) and West Ham Park (70+ acres with 12 tennis courts, football, cricket, running, dozens of PTs etc).

There are a few shops and takeaways a minute or so around the corner but the high street, approximately 10 minutes’ walk, has a much larger selection of shops and places to eat and drink; the Westfield Centre at Stratford City is another 5 minutes further along.

The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and London Stadium are approximately 30 minutes’ walk; in the other direction, Forest Gate is approximately 25-30 minutes’ walk, with Wanstead Flats another 5-10 minutes away from there.

Me: I'm fairly laid-back about most things in life and so I don't have a fixed idea of the 'ideal flatmate': someone solvent, fairly sociable and friendly, reasonably tidy with good hygiene, respectful, is about as prescriptive as I can manage here.
