Double Room in Newington

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a friendly, tidy, and respectful female working professional to move into a double room in a bright and cozy two-bedroom flat located in Newington (EH9), just a short walk or bus ride from Edinburgh City Centre.

The room will be available from December, ideally for a long-term let.

🛏 The Room:

• Rent: £660 per month (excluding bills)
• Furnished with a pine double bed
• Includes a desk and chair – perfect for working or studying
• Ample closet space and storage
• Shared bathroom

🏠 The Flat:

• Located on the second floor of a Victorian terraced house (no lift)
• Two double bedrooms, one bathroom, a living area, and a fully equipped kitchen
• Kitchen includes a washing machine, microwave, fridge, and freezer
• Bathroom fitted with a large bathtub
• Free on-street parking available
• Situated in a quiet, safe neighbourhood with excellent amenities nearby

📍 Location, Transport & Amenities:

• Nearest bus stop: 2-minute walk, with frequent buses to the city centre
• Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Aldi: 10-minute walk
• Cameron Toll Shopping Centre (includes The Gym Group): 10-minute walk
• Nicolson Street & Surgeons’ Hall: 10-minute bus ride
• Princes Street & Waverley Train Station: 20-minute bus ride
• The Meadows: 15-minute walk
• Arthur’s Seat & Holyrood Park: 20-minute walk

💷 Monthly Bills (Split equally between both tenants):
• Council Tax (Band D): £216
• Gas & Electricity: approx. £120-£150 (on winter)
• Wi-Fi: £27
• Household essentials and cleaning supplies (if shared)

👩‍💼 About Me:

I work on-site Monday to Friday from 9-5, so I’m usually not home much during the week.

I’ve been living in the flat for about six months, and my current flatmate — who’s moving out to start a new chapter — and I have really enjoyed living together.

We both value a quiet, peaceful, and hygienic living space, which is also what I’m looking for in a new flatmate. I’m tidy and respectful of shared spaces and would love to live with someone who’s equally clean, responsible, and considerate.

🔎 Ideal Flatmate / What I’m Looking For:
• Female working professional (for council tax purposes)
• Proactive about cleanliness – no dishes left out, bins emptied regularly, and shared spaces (especially the kitchen and bathroom) kept tidy after use
• Respectful and values a quiet, peaceful home
• Does not host large gatherings or frequent guests

⸻

🚫 Additional Notes:
• No smoking, pets, or house parties (as required by the landlord)
• The flat stays quiet during the week, ideal if you work from home or enjoy a calm environment

If this sounds like a good fit, feel free to drop me a message with a bit about yourself, your work situation, and your ideal move-in date.

I’d be happy to arrange a viewing and you can speak with me or us! 😊
