Bright and spacious room in a calm Stokey street

Our dear housemate is sadly leaving us to go live with two of her oldest friends. And, although we are very sad to see her go, this means that a beautiful, bright room is becoming available in our lovely house in Stoke Newington soon :)

The house fells very much like home, so we are looking for someone who would care for it and contribute to the warm atmosphere.
Please drop us a message telling us a bit about yourself (what do you do, what you are looking for in a new place, what do you do in you spare time, what are your interests etc), and we will be in touch to book a viewing 😊

*The Room:

It’s bright and luminous, with a big window across, and lovely views during mornings and evenings both.
The room faces a calm residential street, where cars rarely pass by.
It comes fully furnished, with a king size bed, a wardrobe, 2 chest of drawers, a desk and a decorative fireplace.

The room is available from 19th of June, but there is some flexibility on moving in dates for the right person.

*The House:

We live in a 3 stories house just off Church Street and Stoke Newington High Street, very near to all the shops and charming local businesses.

The house is spacious, with a living room and a garden facing south east, which gets sunny most of the morning/afternoon.
The kitchen is modern, fully equipped with toaster, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, large fridge-freezer, and a big dining table.
The bathroom has a bath/shower and it’s shared between 4 (one of the rooms is ensuite). Everyone makes an effort to keep the bathroom tidy and clean at all times, and we really value being considerate of each other that way.
There is a small toilet room on the ground floor too, which comes in handy when you don’t want to go up the stairs to the main bathroom! :D
The garden is quite big, and comes with patio furniture, a barbecue and some space for storing bikes.

We have a cleaner who comes fortnightly for a deep clean of the house, and she is amazing! However, it's really important that we all clean up after ourselves and make sure to leave the communal spaces clean, tidy and decluttered for everyone.

*About Us & House Atmosphere:

The 4 of us work in the arts, climate change and finance fields.
Everyone has a variety of interests which include going to museums and galleries, dancing, playing tennis, cooking/baking, reading, going on park walks, yoga, watching films & tv shows and travelling.

We like to come together every now and then for a lovely chat and some food/wine; but we all run pretty busy lives, and value quiet, restorative alone time too.

We really would like to keep the house atmosphere as it is - a warm, lovely, considerate place to live in. If this resonates with you, do send us a message!

Please note that this is not a party house; but, friends and the occasional dinner party/barbecue are welcome of course 🥂🍽️

*About You:

Our ideal housemate would be:

- Female (sorry, we want to keep it all ladies!)
- Non-smoker
- Clean, considerate, respectful, and happy to share the household responsibilities (gardening included)
- Friendly, but also values personal space and privacy
- ⁠Ok with the occasional dog visiting (some of us have friends with dogs)

Unfortunately, we can’t accept couples due to our contract.

*Bills*

Monthly costs average £130–£150 (this includes gas, electric, water, Wi-Fi, TV, council tax and cleaner).
We also do a house shop every few months for cleaning products and toilet paper 🧻 which comes at about £10–£15 each.

*Location:

We've totally lucked out with the location! A fantastic spot in Stoke Newington, close to the buzz of Dalston, and tucked away in a quiet area. Great transport links with buses and overground trains connecting to most places in London.

The house is just 10 minutes walk away from beautiful Clissold Park, and very close to great yoga studios, and Clissold Leisure Centre with a gym and pool. Charming Rio cinema is nearby, as well as lots of great restaurants and bars.

** We are aiming to have viewings on Sunday the 24th and Monday the 25th of May **

We look forward to hearing from you!

Mary, Lu, Caragh and Anna
