3 bedroom house next to Victoria Park seeks 3rd

We are looking for a new female housemate aged between 28-42 to share with us! Available any time from now to March 20th.

A little about us :

I’m Suzanne, originally from London and only moved East last year after living in Islington for what seems like a very long time. So far, I love it and wonder why it’s taken me so long to migrate this way. Living next to the park is a real game changer, I would say it’s one of the nicest parks in the city. For work, I am a photographic retoucher (promise I don’t spend all my time making women look skinny!) and I also run a small business designing greeting cards and prints. I have a studio space in Stoke Newington and also work from home often. I do markets at the weekend sometimes and am pretty busy with work stuff, but when not working I like finding good brunch places, anything and everything creative, photography, etc.

Clara is originally from Germany and has been in London for 8 years now (still really missing good, affordable bread though!). She’s a filmmaker & curator (focusing on non-fiction and experimental cinema) and is often found at the cinema, exhibitions, gigs and everything in between. Secretly a homebody whenever life allows for it, she loves cooking, gardening and connecting with the neighbourhood cats. Always up for shared meals (bonus if you're vegan/plant-based) & coffee chats about life, art and how to counter the dire state of things with love and collectivity.

Shaheen has been living in London for over two years but is sadly leaving us to go back home, so we are looking for our new third to fit nicely into the household!

About the House :

It’s a three-bedroom house right next to Victoria Park (you can see the park from the front door, it’s that close). There is a main bathroom with a bath, a separate shower room and an en-suite downstairs. There is also a laundry room which is pretty unique in London! The kitchen has a dishwasher which makes life so much easier and is open plan with the living room. All pretty spacious.
There isn’t a tube station close by but It’s an easy walk to London Fields or Homerton, both can get you everywhere. And buses - they exist here too.

The room is rented unfurnished. If of interest, there is a possibility to take over Shaheen's furniture (not pictured!).

There's enough space for a desk and shelving, and has a built-in wardrobe.
It’s £671 a month and bills come to about £120 a month. The rent has just gone up so shouldn’t be going up again soon.

Who we are looking for :

We are looking for another girl to replace Shaheen, somewhere around our ages so 28-41, house-trained, people friendly and easy going. LGBTQI+ friendly.
Suzanne is terrified of spiders and has to run to Clara for help so if you are also a good spider catcher it would be great to have two! If you share an interest in gardening (Clara’s always planting some herbs and veggies) that would be wonderful too.
As 95% of other ads on here say - we aren’t a party house, this is a home and we like to keep things pretty chilled, clean and comfortable. We all have our own lives but also like to occasionally do brunch, park walks, picnics or watch something together.

We are easy going and respectful and so far the dynamic has worked well. Hoping to avoid anyone high maintenance and any passive aggressive note writers - happy notes are welcome and funny notes are encouraged. Shared living can be easy so if you easily get put out by things or can’t compromise, this may not be a good fit.
We can’t take pets sadly, only humans (Love a dog or a cat or a budgie so this is sad).

Please send us a little info about yourself - replies with no info tend to get lost as the response is always huge. Looking forward to hearing from you!
