Big & Bright Room in the Heart of Shoreditch

An amazing double room with an en-suite is becoming available in our top-floor flat in the intersection between Shoreditch High Street and Old Street and we are looking for a new flatmate to take it! One of our current flatmates is going to move out so we're looking for someone to move in.

We're looking for someone who we can get on with and live with. This is a home rather than just a room and would be great to find someone who is independent but is also happy to share dinner or a visit the local cafes every now and then.

The flatmates
We are one girl from Liverpool and a guy from London, both in our early thirties. We work full time and have active social lives and are out several days per week. On weekends, we do the usual things like going to markets, to the movies, eating in/out, going for drinks, travelling, cycle tours etc. So despite of the location, the flat is our "sanctuary", somewhere peaceful to come back to. Therefore, not looking for someone who still enjoys midweek partying..

The flat
We are in a beautiful old building next to St Leonard's Church, with apartments in the top floor and offices in the floors below, which makes it unusually quiet. The flat is split in two storeys and has the style of an old warehouse, with super high ceilings, a concrete floor and large windows. It also has relatively-new and well-sized kitchen and bathroom. The main/entrance floor, comprises the fully equipped open plan kitchen/living room, a great spiral staircase, two rooms, and a bathroom. The en-suite bedroom is one level up. The communal areas of the flat are always clean and tidy, and would be great to find someone with the same level of commitment.

The en-suite room bedroom
The double room is large and has plenty of space and access from a spiral staircase from the main room. It has one big window facing a school yard but the bathroom has another big window. It is tucked away enough from the High Street to make it quite quiet for the location. The bulk of the furniture (bed, desk, sofa) belongs to the outgoing flatmate. We are ideally looking for someone to who is willing to purchase these upon taking the room.
