Double room in Stoke Newington Bills Included

Hello! We’re looking for someone to rent a *furnished* room in our Stokey house. The house is 8 minutes from Stoke Newington overground, located close to shops, restaurants, pubs and bars on Church Street and Stoke Newington High Street. We’re also very close to Stoke Newington common and Abney Park so there’s plenty of green spaces and the buses are good too.

This is a long-term sublet. You would be renting the spare bedroom from the existing housemates. It doesn’t mean you’d have any kind of different status day-to-day. It’s everybody’s home and everybody has an equal input into house decisions. It’s just a quirk of this house that there’s always someone subletting the extra bedroom. I’ve been here for 5 years and the only reason I’m leaving is because I’m moving country.

The rent is £752 including bills and house cleaning products. Bills are managed by us, not the landlord, so we often have to pay a bit extra into the house kitty - usually around 10-15 pounds a month. We keep accounts on a shared spreadsheet so it's all transparent.

The house is split over three floors and has a lovely big garden. We have a living room/dining room, a compact but functional kitchen, a main bathroom, a shower room, and a separate downstairs toilet. The house is non-smoking, but you can smoke in the back garden, away from the windows. We have a big TV and dining table in our living room and all bills are included.

The room:
The room is a medium sized double with a window out onto the garden. It comes furnished with a bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, desk and chair. You can get rid of this stuff if you want but it comes with the room.

The move in date is 2 March. Unfortunately there's no flexibility on that.

The housemates:
You will be sharing with 5 housemates. We're from a range of countries, so all are welcome, and we’re LGBTQ+ friendly. We’re all young professionals working on different schedules, so sometimes you might go days without seeing anyone, and other times we’re all in the house together.

We’re a quiet house who really respect each other’s privacy and space, and the house has a laid-back vibe. It’s not a party house, and we are really looking for someone who treats this house like a home. That means cleaning up your dishes, pitching in with the cleaning rota, and respecting each others’ space and belongings.

You:
We’re looking for a housemate around 27-40 (we’re all in that age range ourselves). You should be tidy, respectful, willing to pitch in with jobs and cleaning, and easy-going. Living with 5 other people can be stressful for some, you should be flexible and willing to compromise. The room isn’t suitable for couples as there’s already enough people in the house.
