Spacious skylight room in rare loft / warehouse

Hi everyone,

My name is Rhiannon and I’ve been renting this flat since 2010. I love it! There is now a room going – I was airbnbing it out, but I'm spending less and less time in the UK, so I'm looking for someone permanently. I have a green card and am mainly in the U. S. - so currently the setup of the apartment is:

One double room (rented out to Reva, who is there until January/February).
One en-suite room (rented to permanent flatmate, Mez, who works in tech, part office and part from her bedroom).

One very large double room is now available with double bed, storage, fold down sofabed, coffee table, etc. it’s pretty massive by London standards. The price includes all bills.

I’ll be keeping the lease as I’ve furnished the whole apartment, and even though I’m not there is the closest thing to home that I have ever had! So I’m sentimental about the place…

So - the flat itself... central heating, wooden floors, windows all the way around the living area, tv and multiple comfy sofas. Fully equipped spacious eat-in kitchen, washing machine, etc. no dishwasher. High speed broadband included, as are other bills (but obviously be mindful of switching stuff off!).

The decor in the flat is very mid century and it has lots of personality - it’s all my stuff which will be staying where it is.

The decking outside has just been redone and that’s a nice large communal space that’s a bit of a blank canvas at the moment…

The bathroom is shared with just one other bedroom (Reva's) - as mentioned, Mez has an en suite.

We would prefer someone who doesn’t work from home all the time, or if they do - to work from the bedroom so that the open plan nature of the flat allows the living space to remain a living space… that's really the main rule. Just to maintain some work-life balance.

It’s a pretty chilled house, not a party house. Though Mez does love a party but keeps it away from home!! we’re looking for a real adult who can clean up after themselves… and do a share of the cleaning - though we have decided to get a cleaner for a bigger clean every two weeks to keep on top of things. Rent includes £50 to go towards this.

The flat is beautiful though, and a rare gem in hackney. Near to everything and tucked just behind the main road but is quiet and secure behind a metal gate. Transport is easy, we aren’t overlooked so it feels very private… generally it’s a bit of a unicorn! If you need to park, you can get a residents parking permit from the council.

The rent will stay stable until April next year, and after that we may have to review if the landlord decides to raise it again (but it won’t be a big increase - it’ll be along the lines of potentially 40-60 a month if it does go up). The contract is only with me so you’d be subletting off of me as I'm the one on the lease so no need for too much inane paperwork!

The flat is available right away and i'd like someone who is able to move as soon as possible.

Mez and Reva can show you if and I’m happy to video call also.
