Warehouse room with mezzanine

We have a double room (for single occupancy), with mezzanine bed and skylights coming available in our beautiful warehouse space in Fish Island (Hackney Wick) available from 10th of Nov.

Rent is £805 per month and covers all utilities bills, taxes, wifi, appliance maintenance and toilet paper. An additional amount of £35 per month is collected internally by the household to cover the cost of a weekly cleaner for the bathrooms, kitchen and common space, cleaning products, and a few other shared essentials.

The warehouse has a large shared common space, with enormous high ceilings and lots of light. All the mod cons, including good central heating, gas cooker, washing machine and tumble drier, a bathroom with full bathtub/shower and a second toilet room. We also have a guest-room for the use of all the house.

We are 9 lovely humans in total. We aim to for a calm, safe, and clean environment in the house, in which all are treated with respect and given the space to thrive. We are a safer spaces, queer/LGBTQIA+ friendly, and diversity driven household. We encourage applications from those over 30 years-of-age, people of colour, non-native British, northerners, DIY enthusiasts, and cooks.

Ours is not a party house, but the parties in the neighbourhood are not hard to find, and we often join in. At home we like to keep things a little more calm and collected, with ‘quiet hours’ from 11pm to 8am. We are a house that likes to cook, with a well equipped kitchen, which we keep clean and tidy.

We also have a projector, and enjoy watching films, sharing a drink or two, or a cup of tea, and providing mutual support, mutual aid, and many giggles. People cook for each other, and clean-up after each other, help each other, look out for each other, and try not to get in each others way (or to leave our mess behind us!).

We are looking for someone who wants to be an active member of the household, taking initiative to help keep the place running smoothly, able to take responsibility for themselves, willing to help their fellow housemates, eager to join in with group meals, and ready for a friendly chat over morning coffee or evening tea.

Please no couples, no under 25’s, and no pets - we have an adorable 6 month old kitten named Eleven, and she’s still settling in.

Drop me a line if you think you might be interested, tell me about yourself, and we will go from there!
