Beautiful Double Room in Lovely Mews, N19

WANTED: A NICE PERSON TO MOVE INTO OUR BEAUTIFUL HOME IN NORTH LONDON.

We're looking for a lovely person to move into our house in Upper Holloway. We've got one en-suite room available from 5 Oct 2026. Janina & Danny have been housemates here for the last eight years, and Charlotte joined us a year ago.

The Room
---------

A decent-sized top-floor double room with its own bathroom. Fully furnished with solid oak (bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside cabinet), and with nice views (for London).

The House
---------------

The house is in a lovely little gated Mews, which means it's quiet and very secure away from the road. There's a large enclosed front yard across the whole house that gets the sunshine in the mornings, and through most of the day in summer. It's a great place with a wall full of flowers and plants to sit and look at whilst having a coffee :). We've just sorted all the fairy lights out too 🧚‍♂️

The kitchen is big, modern, light and very nice to cook in. It's got a new dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and a big new fridge/freezer, plus loads of storage and a good modern cooker.

The living room is very spacious and has just been redecorated along with the rest of the house, the windows are giant and the ceiling is high, so it's very light and airy, which is lovely in the mornings. There's a piano and a few other instruments.

Finally, there's a door-buzzer by the gate to the mews, which is good security.

All the bedrooms have their own bathroom and toilet and there's a spare toilet downstairs too. We've got fast broadband and a TV with with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify etc in the living room. There's no smoking indoors but no problem with smoking outside.

Being in a private mews we've become very good friends with the other folks who live here and we regularly hang out together. We're also good friends with a whole gang of neighbours who live in the streets nearby. We often have spontaneous BBQs in the summer, which is brilliant.

The fact that we can knock on our neighbour's doors and borrow a tea bag is absolutely wonderful and quite unusual. So bear in mind you'd be joining a little community as well as a house-share.

The People
--------------
Because that's much more important than the house, really!!

You'd be living with Danny, Janina & Charlotte.

Danny's lived here for over 12 years and works in tech as a consultant and part-time COO. He's worked with various startups, built a company teaching people how to code and had a brief stint playing blues in the bars and streets of Brighton. He still enjoys a jam in the lounge every now and then with friends busy playing on one of his several guitars or the piano. His voice isn't too bad either.

Janina's lived here for eight years and works in a pottery cafe and is bringing home little creative surprises here and there. Next to the pottery job she's working as a freelance fashion stylist for different magazines, brands and personalities. She loves all sorts of DIY stuff likes to illustrate and is into lettering and happily takes care of personalised cards for the housemates upcoming birthdays. She’s from Germany and has a hard time pronouncing caramelised right so don’t make her say it EVER :)

Charlotte still needs to send Danny her blurb. She's awesome tho.

Danny & Janina working from home a lot but Janina also has a little creative studio in Tottenham. Charlotte works from home a few days a week.

We're all partial to cider-fuelled (Janina) or wine-fuelled (Danny & Charlotte) chats about art, philosophy, history funny stuff and all sorts.

We're all good-humoured and get on *really* well. We're love a natter in the evenings but enjoy dinner nights in and drinks at the great local pubs in equal measure. Top of our list are the brilliant weekly open mic nights at our local pub right around the corner – which is basically our second living room!

We're all very tidy and care about keeping our home neat - we have a cleaner who comes twice a month to help with this.
We're also are considerate with noise.

The Area
------------
We're within easy walking distance of Finsbury Park, Archway, and Crouch Hill as well as the Holloway Road, all of which host a bunch of eateries and pubs if you're into eating and drinking. If you're into running, the park and old railway line are lovely and green. There's a Tesco about 10 minutes walk away and numerous little supermarkets and shops within a couple of minutes. There's a new place called the Great Indian which is *incredible* and a decent gym next door.

Upper Holloway Station (overground) is about 5-10 minutes away and Archway Station (Northern line, handy for the City, South London and a lot of other places) is about 15 minutes walk. Finsbury Park (Piccadilly, Victoria and National Rail) is 15-20 mins walk in the other direction. There's a bus stop just round the corner (20 minutes to Kings Cross or Angel, 30 mins to Old St/Shoreditch).

Numbers
-------------

We share the bills equally. Council Tax, Electric, Internet and the cleaner come to £170 per month each which everyone pays along with their rent. The only bill that varies and is paid separately is water, which is about £75 each every six months.

What we're looking for
---------------------------
The house is most definitely a home rather than a place to sleep and stare at the telly, so we're looking for someone who's going to be part of that. We eat together now and again and have regular pub nights and would really like people who want to be part of that too.

We're after someone who won't always disappear upstairs if we're having a drink together or playing a board game or some music.

Most adverts seem to ask for 'an easy-going like-minded person', but since we won't know if you're easy-going until we've met you it probably makes sense for you to send us a message on here to arrange a viewing and a drink :)

If you're able to send us a little bit about you when you say hello we'd appreciate it (we're getting quite a lot of interest).

If you're interested, drop us a line. We'd love to show you our home in person and have a drink in the garden or pub around the corner.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Danny, Janina & Charlotte
