Ensuite room with terrace in Haggerston

Hello!

We’re looking for a new flatmate to move in from 1st February.

We get quite a lot of messages, so when you get in touch please include a bit about yourself:
• Your name, age and what you do for work (and whether you’re WFH / office / hybrid)
• What you like to do in your spare time
• What you’re looking for in a flat / home

Please note that the landlord’s referencing process requires tenants to be working professionals with a steady income.

💷 Rent & bills

The rent for the room is £1,309, plus £160 for bills — £1,469 per month total.
This covers electricity, heating, water, council tax (we are Council Tax Band E) and broadband, all organised by one of the existing flatmates. Bills may go up slightly in the winter months. (We also currently have a cleaner attend fortnightly which is not included in the bills)

The landlord has confirmed that there will be no rent reductions during upcoming building works (see below).

🏠 The flat

It’s a 3-bed, 3-bath, 3-floor apartment with a large private roof terrace overlooking the canal, with open city views.

The flat is bright and spacious, with a big open-plan living area, a well-equipped kitchen and good-sized bedrooms.

The communal areas are fully furnished by the current flatmates. As one person is moving out, there may be a few shared bits to replace over time. We’re looking for someone who’s happy to take a collaborative approach to looking after the flat.

All rooms are south-facing, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the canal.

🛏 The room

A good-sized double with:
• Ensuite bathroom
• Private balcony
• Unfurnished (and there is a curtain rail, but new curtains or blinds will be needed)

The current tenant is open to selling her bed.

⚠️ Upcoming building works

The building is scheduled for external roofing works, with scaffolding expected across the south-facing side of the building, including windows and balconies.

Scaffolding is currently expected to be in place for an extended period (potentially up to around 10 months). Disruption should be intermittent rather than constant, though exact timings are still being finalised by the managing agents.

We want to be upfront so anyone moving in can factor this in.

👋 About us

You’d be living with Madeline (31), who works in advertising, and Cat (39), who works in music tech. We both work hybrid (some days office, a couple days from home). Cat makes music, and is into films, yoga and exploring local music and cultural scenes. Madeline is also into music and loves trips to the cinema and museums.

We sometimes hang out together, but we have our own routines, and value the flat as a calm, relaxing place to live. Weekends are relaxed and friends are welcome, but it’s not a party house.

We’re looking for someone clean, easygoing and considerate, who enjoys a peaceful home. LGBTQIA+ friendly. No couples or pets, sorry!

We’ve organised viewings before and tend to get a lot of interest, so thanks in advance for your patience. If we think you’d be a good fit, we’ll be in touch to arrange a viewing.

We look forward to hearing from you!
Cat & Madeline
