Lovely double room in Muswell Hill

Hello there,

I’m seeking a new, hopefully long-term, flatmate to move in to a studio apartment style room. The room is deep and leads onto a balcony with lovely views.

It would suit someone who already has some of their own furniture, as it is available on an unfurnished or semi-furnished basis (with a double sofa-bed available if needed).

I have lived in the flat for four years now but my flatmate lived here for eight before that. It's a relaxed and quiet place that feels like home, within easy reach of central London.

ROOM FOR RENT
The room is well suited for use for both a bedroom and additional living space at 4.7 x 3.4 metres. The photos look busy but the storage shelves will all be leaving. The room is unfurnished but a sofa-bed used by the current tenant could be kept if required.

The double doors lead to a full length balcony overlooking a quiet residential street.

THE FLAT
The flat is located on the second (top) floor; is double glazed throughout; has plenty of natural light (including a large landing skylight which provides extra airflow in the summer). The kitchen and bathroom are shared and there is no separate living room space. Storage space will be available.

The location benefits from an extensive array of local shops and facilities at the end of the road. The village-like Muswell Hill Broadway is only a 10 minute walk or a 3 minute bus ride away. There you can find fantastic restaurants, shops, cafes, pubs, gyms, yoga studios etc. There are numerous recreation grounds and woods (closest 5 mins walk away) and Alexandra Palace is close by.

Parking is available in the street outside the flat. You can catch day and night buses to/from London Bridge (43) or Tottenham Court Road/Oxford Street (134), as well as Highgate and East Finchley undergrounds, right at the end of the road.

ME
I work in music royalties as a product manager. Also creative, I like film, art and writing fiction. I’m independent by nature, but easy-going and friendly and enjoy taking the time to say a proper hello and getting to know anyone I live with. I work hybrid these days, quietly and never in the shared areas, and also in Central London. I travel quite a bit.

FLATMATE I AM HOPING TO FIND
Ideally someone stable and busy with their own life. Going for the occasional music or Sunday roast would be fun. Shared interests good but someone honest, friendly, reliable, thoughtful, reasonably tidy and living a drama free life is important.
