Double Bedroom in Friendly Flat Share (:

Hi!

We are two women in our late 20s working full time. Sadly our housemate is moving out in August/September to pursue new adventures and so we are looking to find someone to take her room.

We would love to find someone who is friendly, *tidy* and easy to get along with as this is a calm and creative flat. (: We both work full time, so we are looking for someone with a similar lifestyle. Our flat feels like home and we would love for you to feel the same way. That means we would also prefer someone who is not thinking of moving out in the short term.

Drop a message about yourself if this sounds like you!

About us

Robyn (27)

I’m from Yorkshire but have made London my home for the last 10 years. I work at a local climbing wall (and get free entry for friends), and as a freelance audio editor- I’m also currently progressing into freelance photography. I WFH on Thursdays and in my spare time climb, read and write, and I am currently learning to illustrate for children’s books.
I love hitting up the two cinemas we have down the road, going on bike rides in the sun, cooking, the odd pub trip, and finding treasure at our local charity shops in Crouch End and Muswell Hill. I occasionally go to a few clubs in London if dancing is your thing too.

Rebecca (29)

I've currently been in the flat for five years. I work in product development for a home accessories supplier and normally WFH on a Friday. I'm from Nottingham and thought I would stay in London for one month but over six years later and I'm still here! When I'm not at work, I play tennis (lots!!), run (not such a lot!), go out for drinks with friends and when I feel less energetic/sociable I stay at home and draw:)
Since I moved in, this has always been a super friendly and lovely flat so I would love to keep those good vibes going with my new flat mate.

About the room

The room is a really spacious double room, completely furnished with a wardrobe, chest of drawers, desk and sofa. There will be everything you need in the room with space to add extra furniture if you would like. There are two good sized windows and a beautiful view over the trees and across to Ally Pally in the distance:)

As for the rest of the flat, this is a lovely, bright top floor flat with all kitchen/cleaning appliances you would expect included. Please note there's no living room, however this has always been a sociable house and we're always more than happy to hang out together in the two bedrooms which have sofas or get creative with any other options that come to mind. An example of the latter would be the tiny rooftop space/sun trap we've been using throughout the summers to get a lovely tan and even grow a mini garden.

About the area

If you’re a North Londoner, you already know the location is one of the perks of this house.

Hornsey train station (zone 3) is literally less than 5 minutes away and trains run frequently until late night. You can easily get to central London in 20 min approximately, via Finsbury Park or Highbury & Islington just to name a few. Besides, Turnpike Lane (Piccadilly line) is a 12 min walk / 5 min bus ride if you´re feeling lazy and there are plenty of bus connections too.

Aside of transport links, Hornsey is a really lovely area to live in! Everything you need is walking distance from the house - cafes, restaurants, independent shops, supermarkets (huge Sainsbury's 5 min away!), cinemas, gyms... all is in the area!

Crouch End is also minutes away from us. In case you haven’t heard it, Timeout says Crouch End nearly has it all – and TimeOut always knows best! As well as Secret London voting Crouch End the best place to live in London! On top of this, we're right next to the lovely Alexandra Palace and Muswell Hill for the most gorgeous views of London, Wood Green for shopping and cheap cinema tickets, etc.

Boring bits

Rent is £575 and paid monthly. Bills are not included and might change based on consumption, but just so you have an idea they come roughly around £110.

Deposit is one month rent and we normally liaise with the landlord directly, but there is a referencing process with an agency (they only get involved at the contracting stage).

We’d like to find someone who is planning to rent long-term ideally.

Hopefully that sums it up pretty much! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions and do drop us a message with a bit about yourself if you like what you've read.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Robyn & Rebecca x
