Modern, Double Bedroom with Private Bathroom

Double Bedroom

Overview:

- Double, west facing bedroom located in a modern, second floor apartment, set in and amongst the Grade I and II listed buildings and landscaped gardens of the award winning Royal Arsenal Riverside Development.

- Spanning 76 acres, the development is a former munitions factory and storage facility with a history dating back to 1671, with the room itself having a direct view onto the Royal Laboratory building, the oldest surviving building on the Royal Arsenal site.

- Now tastefully transformed, the site's ongoing development continues to provide a blend of converted and new build residential properties, together with a central open space, bars, restaurants and shopping facilities, all for the future potential resident to enjoy!

Current Household:

- My name is Jacob and I am looking for a like minded, easy going individual to share my two bedroom apartment, as my current flatmate is now vacating to live closer to her workplace. Originally from Yorkshire, I currently work in the City of London area on the techology side of the finance industry.

- My requirements as a live in landlord are fairly basic, or at least I like to think so. Essentially, I'm looking for a working "professional" around the same age, who I can share a beer or two with, who will look after what is provided and is willing to help keep the shared and their own living space and bathroom tidy. I don't demand a rigorous cleaning schedule, but I do certainly like to keep things relatively neat.

- Unfortunately, I'm not looking for couples, smokers or anyone with pets. If you're a big time party animal, this is also probably not the place for you; I prefer to lead a bit of a quieter life at home and be able to freely enjoy my own living space. That isn't to say you can't have people round every now and again - I'm not that boring!

- The room is available from the weekend of the 1st of September, so would be looking for a move in as close to this date as possible.

- If you're happy with all of that so far, I'll move onto the finer details. If you have any questions or I've missed anything, please do let me know as I may very well have forgotten something important. Happy room hunting!

The Room:

- Good sized double room, equipped with a double divan bed with under bed storage space and extremely comfortable Silentnight memory foam topped mattress. Other storage space includes a double wardrobe, two bedside tables and glass multilevel table. A large, horizontal wall mirror is also provided.

- The picture I've included here is a bit outdated now, as the view has changed for the better since the renovations on the Laboratory building were finished about a year ago, so no more scaffolding to look out onto. The rest of the room is as it appears, though the TV has been moved out as it gets in the way a bit.

Shared Areas:

- Shared kitchen, balcony, living room area with the master bathroom serving as your own private bathroom, complete with shower, toilet, heated towel rail, bathroom cabinet and hand basin. The mains water to the household has recently been converted to a softened supply, which is not only better for your hair and skin, but makes everything easier to keep clean.

- The lounge are consists of a large, three seater sofa opposite a 47 inch wall mounted Smart TV with Freesat and Freeview available, with the ability to schedule and record programmes for later viewing, should you watch a lot of TV and not be able to keep up! There is also an iPod dock linked to speakers in the ceiling, so you can stream your music wirelessly from wherever you are in the flat.

- The kitchen area has granite work surfaces, mixer tab and basin, complete with the usual appliances of hob and oven, large fridge freezer (you will have a freezer drawer to yourself), dish washer, microwave, kettle and toaster. Plenty of cupboard space is available for all your food items.

- The balcony has a table and chairs so you can sit out when the weather at least starts to hint at summertime, looking out onto the pedestrianised street below and Laboratory building directly opposite. Being west facing, this catches the evening sun very well and well into the late evening in summer.

What's Provided / Included:

- All the usual household appliances are available - washing machine, iron, vacuum cleaner etc.

- All pots, pans and utensils are for the kitchen are provided too, with a kettle, toaster and a microwave. There's plenty of space to add to all this though, should you want to bring along your favourite pestle and mortar or something.

- Wireless broadband and all household bills are included to keep things simple for you.

The Guardhouse now also does a quiz, but I forget on which night (possibly a Friday).
