Room in a peaceful canalside warehouse

We’re Genny and Charlotte, two friends who’ve just taken over a three-bedroom warehouse unit and are looking for someone to move in 💚
We’re offering a short to medium term stay initially, with the possibility of something longer term if we all get on well.

The space & location
We’re in Hackney borough, right on the canal, away from roads and lovely and peaceful, with beautiful views of the canal and wetlands.

There’s a communal garden, a covered bike shed and free gated parking, with coded access to the main gate and doors. Two entrances one of which goes out to the tow path on the canal. We share the garden with seven other units, each home to around 1–3 people, so there’s a lovely little community here already.
Nearby stations include Clapton, Stamford Hill and South Tottenham. Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters are around a 15–20 minute walk away for the Victoria line.

About us

Genny, 34: Works in music, events and cabaret. Loves music, dancing, dancing to music, festivals, dinners at home and walks along the canal and marshes.

Charlotte, 36: Works in health and social care. Loves all things nature, music and food. A social soul who enjoys dinners in and dinners out.

We’re a queer, neurodivergent household who care about open communication and building community and friendship with whoever moves in. No Zios, no transphobes.

We’d love someone who likes getting stuck in, enjoys the occasional social event at home and is equally happy curling up on the sofa with a puzzle. We have quite different schedules, so there’s a mix of time together and space to yourself. We’d prefer someone who doesn’t work from home every day, though a couple of days a week is absolutely fine.

Rent: £850 per month, plus gas and electricity, usually around £50 per person a month at most in winter.
Availability: The room is empty and available now.
Benefits/DSS: We have a tenancy and pay council tax. We’re open to someone receiving benefits joining the tenancy longer term. This isn’t possible during the initial sublet, but we’re happy to discuss your needs.
Accessibility: There are two steps into the hallway. After those, the downstairs area, including the available bedroom and bathroom, is step-free. The unit is not fully wheelchair accessible.
We’re arranging viewings from now and the room is available form now. Send us a message with a little about yourself, what you’re looking for and when you’d like to move in, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
