Dbl room, Hoxton, from Jan 18, £860pm incl. bills

We have a double room available in a flat share in Hoxton, very near Old St, Shoreditch and Angel! The room is available from 18th January 2025 (exact date TBC - depending on references for the flatmate who's moving out being accepted at their new place).

IMPORTANT: We will be doing viewings virtually initially and then hopefully in person if things progress. In your message to us, please give us a rough idea of your availability over Christmas. We are starting the flatmate hunt now and hope to do virtual viewings during the week starting 16th December, and will complete it after a (much needed!) Christmas break. If we know when you're taking a break and vice versa, we can resume in the new year without anyone worrying about the other one not being online.

About the costs:
Rent - £750 per month
Bills - £110 per month
Deposit - £750

We are looking to find a flatmate who can complement our household! We are Adam and Chrissy, a couple who's been together for 5 years. We're moving in together for the first time in early January, and we're looking for a great person to complete the flat!

We're hoping to find someone to join a household, rather than just a space which people happen to share. We like to have a good balance between genuinely enjoying each other's company when we hang out and respecting each other's personal space at the same time.

So... some essential details about the place:

- The room is a medium sized room with a large window, desk, and plenty of storage space.
- Furniture in the room: double bed with mattress, desk and chair, a wardrobe and shelves for clothing, and storage drawers
- We're in Zone 1 and Old Street/Angel are the nearest tube stations.
- We have Wi-fi (phew!)
- We're on the 3rd floor of an estate, and there is no lift, so no wheelchair access unfortunately.
- Unlike a lot a flat shares we do have a living room with a nice sofa, coffee table, dining table and a projector!

The flat is a great location about 12 minutes walk from Old Street station and Shoreditch, 15 minutes from Angel station. There's a small park just out the front door, and a canal 3 mins walk away, and various Co-Ops and Sainsburys and others 15 mins walk away or less.

The flat has all the regular things you would expect from a flat which already has people living in it full time, like a washing machine, a cooker, and a potato masher.

A bit about the two current flatmates:

Adam - I'm a 33 year old guy who's in a transitional phase. After working in social housing for the past 7 years, I quit my job in March and went travelling for 5 months with Chrissy, to Mexico, Central America, and Jamaica! We got back in August, and I've been doing bar work and other casual jobs while I figure out my next steps career-wise. I enjoy seeing friends and family, politics and activism, fitness and yoga and I do a bit of DJing!

Chrissy - I'm 31. I used to work in TV, now taking the time to follow my own creative pursuits and hopefully make my own documentaries. If you ever want to chat about the latest show you're watching, i'm your gal! I love delicious food and I am vegan, although my cooking prowess mainly includes avocado on toast. I also love swimming and freediving, singing (I'm in a choir), pilates, and currently ADHD-ing my way through driving lessons (haven't hit anyone yet!)

We're open to living with someone of any gender or none, the most important thing is that we all gel together and get on with each other.

We share the cleaning. The general vibe we go for is clean and tidy but also lived in and homely. The flat itself is not super modern, but it's cosy and warm. It's really the people that make it ;)

In general, we enjoy chilling in the living room together and catching up, discussing politics and other more lighthearted things, and watching movies and TV. We don't really have any big house parties or anything like that (except maybe on a birthday), but we occasionally have a few friends around for pre-drinks before going on a night out.

In general, we are open to smokers but only outside the house (there's a landing right outside the front door).

So, if you like the sound of the house, we'd love to meet you over Zoom to have a viewing of the house and a chat.

Look forward to meeting you!

Adam and Chrissy
