Fun flatshare in Belsize Park/ Swiss Cottage

Hello there,

We are 2 fun, young professional girls looking for a third flattie to share our lovely duplex with. The flat is a well proportioned, fully furnished 3 bedroom 2 bathroom duplex over the top 2 floors in a quiet residential street 4 mins walk away from Swiss Cottage tube (Jubilee line), 8 mins walk from Finchley Rd (Metropolitan line) and 10 mins walk from Belsize Park (Northern line). The neighbourhood is home to lots of families and professionals, and is very safe at night.

The room available is a light, v large double room on the lower floor with two windows backing onto leafy gardens. The room is spacious, has a double bed a John Lewis mattress, 2 large built-in wardrobes, a bookcase and a guest futon sofabed in one corner.

The bedroom also has its own large bathroom with bathtub, power-shower, a sink, toilet, mirror and a cupboard and looks onto the garden below.

The kitchen has fridge/ freezer, washing machine, oven, gas points, microwave, dishwasher, plenty of food storage space and has all the cutlery, plates, glasses, coffee set etc you might need.

Next to it there is a big living room with a dining table that extends to sit 12. There are 2 sofas 1 of which converts into a double bed for guests, which can be handy! There is a TV/ video and a fireplace.

Billswise it depends a bit on the flatshare and the season but tenants roughly pay on average an additional £120/month for shared bills, on top of monthly rent. The flat pays £10 per month for water, Electricity and Gas roughly £25 per month each (around £40/each per month in the cold winter months, but £15/each per month in Summer). The phone line and internet works out at around £15 a month (minus any on-peak additional calls you make) including line rental and free evening London calls. Camden Council Tax is Band F and costs around £80 per month each. There is also a very thorough cleaner who comes to the flat every fortnight to clean the common areas, and vacuum the bedrooms, for which the tenants pay £30/ month each.

The flat is walking distance from Primrose Hill, which has one of the best views of all of London, and the greenery of Regents Park and Hampstead Heath and has numerous cafes, pubs, restaurants around Belsize Park and Hampstead but also has all the benefits of Finchley Road ie M&S, Waitrose & Sainsbury's, post office, hardware stores, 24 hr stores, 2 cinemas, Waterstones etc.

There are currently 2 friendly, professional girls living in the top floor rooms of the duplex sharing the top floor bathroom called Anna Linda and Sara:
Anna Linda is Swedish and lives in one of the upper floor bedrooms of the duplex and Sara, who is Portuguese, lives in the room next door. Ana Linda enjoys cooking, literature and travel, and works in management consulting. Both girls have demanding work schedules, but enjoy catching up in the evenings over dinner and sometimes watching some TV together. The flatshare is looking for a professional, fun but respectful, flatmate to live in the large downstairs bedroom.
