Spacious Room In Rare Loft / Warehouse

Hi everyone,

My name is Rhiannon and I’ve been renting this flat since 2010. I love it but due to having a green card, I am living in NYC most of the time so I am subletting out rooms in the flat, till I can return. There will now be what was my room available - fully furnished with mid-century furniture. Bed, wardrobes, desk, bookshelves, etc.

I'm now spending less and less time in the UK, so it’s hard to interview people continuously and so I’m looking for someone permanently for each room… right now we have two others there - Umberto (Italian) and Paula (German) and we have had a longer term Airbnb guest called Oliver who is now vacating the room.

so currently the setup of the apartment is:

One double room with windows and small juliette balcony (this is the room that will be available November 30th)

One smaller en-suite room (rented to Paula)

One very large double room with a skylight (no windows) rented to Umberto.

The price is the same for all rooms as each room has its own distinctive benefit: bathroom, windows and balcony, size. The rent includes bills - internet, tv license, water, electric, council tax, and gas.

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

So - the flat itself... it’s first floor with nothing above it. It sits above two other flats alongside a small decked communal courtyard. The flat has great gas central heating so it's cosy in winter, and tons of double-glazed warehouse style windows all the way around the living area so it's never hot in summer. It has wooden floors, tv and multiple comfy sofas. Fully equipped spacious eat-in kitchen, washing machine, etc. High speed broadband.

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, though I can make some more space!

The decking outside has just been redone and that’s a bit of a blank canvas at the moment… you are free to put outdoor furniture there, and have bbqs, smoke outside (only!), etc.

The bathroom is shared between just two rooms, so there's ever a queue. Decent water pressure and no trouble with hot water going off.

We would prefer someone who doesn’t take over the place as a home-office in the living room area to maintain some work-life balance, but other than that, it's pretty chill. Ideally someone that has a day job, and is respectful of other people in a shared space, doesn’t bring the party home, etc.

We’re looking for adults who can clean up after themselves… and do a share of the cleaning!

The flat is beautiful though, and a rare gem in hackney. Near to everything, excellent transport links (Hackney Central, Hackney Downs, all the buses you could ever need). It's behind a gate, so its secure too.

We aren’t overlooked so it feels very private… generally it’s a bit of a unicorn!

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! Deposit is returned after the end of the tenancy, after move out, and 30 days notice must be given on or before the day of your last rent payment.

I can arrange someone to show you in person and I’m happy to video call also. Any other questions just ask!
