Ladies ONLY - single room in homey house

*DISCLAIMER, PLEASE READ*: this is an ad for a family-style home. Please do not contact us if you are only looking for a place to crash and avoid interactions. We would appreciate it if you read until the end!
Thanks :)

Hello,

We're looking for a new female housemate to share our lovely home in Upper Walthamstow with.
Ours is a terraced house very close to several stations: 11 minutes away from Walthamstow Central (Victoria line), 15 minutes from Walthamstow Queens Road (Overground), St. James St. Overground (15 mins).
Amenities near us: Walthamstow Village (1 min away), Town Hall (10 mins), the mall/cinema/restaurants of all sorts/markets (10 mins).
The house has a large garden where we like to spend the summer and a large living room that we use for making art, eating dinners and relaxing. We have a cosy bathroom and the kitchen has lots of light and direct access to the garden.

Us:
We are three people involved in different ways in humanities and art. We are a funny bunch!
Vittorio manages a comic store and is also a comic artist and true lover of comics. Sara works as a bookseller in an esoteric bookshop, she sews and paints a lot. Melissa is an occupational therapist, she is training as a yoga teacher and has a passion for art and nature. We are all, on different levels, spiritual people.
We like to invite people over from time to time (not a party house tho) and we spend time together often on days off and in the evening, be it for a chat in front of nice food or just sharing a cup of tea. We go out sometimes but ultimately our home is our land of peace, basically :)

Who we're looking for:
As you see from the disclaimer, this house is a family home, so we are looking for someone, a female, who wants to be with us and who wants to get to know us, just like we want to get to know you. We love to chit-chat so much, so ideally we are looking for a talkative fellow.
No smokers, no drinkers (we occasionally have wine or beer but that's it), no drugs. Just someone honest, mature, communicative, responsible, with good manners, respectful of their space and ours, and with a good sense of humour! You will be a very clean individual.
We want our new housemate to love our house as much as we do. You don't have to be obsessed with cleaning of course, but basic, weekly cleaning/clean-as-you-go is important to us.
We require references from your job and previous landlord as soon as we meet you, as they are important for the contract.
We're looking for someone who doesn't cook meat, so our preference would be a vegetarian.
It's very important that you like cats and don't mind them around as we have a cat, Midnight. She's the sweetest bean on this planet and our beloved baby.

Rent and other:
Your rent is 450 a month (this may change soon), plus bills. Our bills are council tax, electricity, gas, water and internet. For now the total comes to around £100 a month, but it has fluctuated a lot lately so it will probably change.
Rent is always paid on the 14th of the month.

Your room:
It's a small single room with a window. It will be unfurnished, so ideally, you will have your furniture. Because the room is small, it will accommodate a single bed rather than a double.
*The photo that you see in the advert is old and we are unable to give a recent photo of the room as it is now occupied by our current housemate.*

Please give us a description of yourself so that we can understand whether you're the right match for us.

Contact us if you'd like to come around for a chat and check out our lovely homey home.
Your move-in date will be around June 20th, 2024.

Get in contact if we sound like your cup of tea!

Thanks for reading x
Vik, Sara, Mel and Midnight
