Small double room available in a shared house near the top of Coombe Road with 3 LGBTQ+ people. We're all in our mid-late 30s, would prefer someone 30+ but can be flexible.
The house generally has a friendly, quiet and homely vibe and we enjoy some communal activities, so if you're into cooking, crafting, gardening, watching films together or just a cuppa then that would be great.
We're not party types and like home to feel like a sanctuary so wouldn't really suit people who want to play loud music regularly or have full-on parties (obviously having people over is fine and is something we do often!). In the summer we do sometimes have BBQs or firepits in the garden with friends.
We're the kind of household who likes the have house meetings every few months to iron out bills, interpersonal stuff, cleaning etc so the house would suit someone who's willing to be responsible and proactive about taking on their share of bills, general admin and cleaning to the best of their ability.
About us:
Currently there are 3 of us here – Bean, Jak and Jasper. All 3 of us are non binary/trans and queer. We're all neurodivergent and chronically ill or disabled in some way. Between the 3 of us we are doing a combination of art, recovering from/living with chronic illness, working as a carer, videogames, cooking, crafting, nature walks etc. We generally have radical leftist politics and as part of that we try our best to be aware of various social issues.
When:
Approx. August 7th
How much:
Rent is £500pcm plus bills which have historically been around £180 per month (incl council tax), however this may change due to price increases. Rent reflects the room size (single/very small double). Housing benefit accepted and you'd be on the contract. Direct landlord no agency fees. The deposit is £721.15 (based on total rent for property). Our landlord is requesting a landlord reference in addition to a guarantor
Option to join in with household Tesco online shop and veg box if interested
The room: The room available is at the front of the house and gets lots of natural light. The room is furnished, but can be unfurnished if you have your own furniature. There is currently is a double bed, a small wardrobe, desk + chair and bedside table with drawers.
Accessibility:
The only bathroom/toilet is upstairs – 14 steps.
The house is less than 100m walk from a 37 bus stop
The house is up a steep hill
There is annual permit parking on street outside
As a house we are still covid concious, are up to date with vaccines, and practice testing + distancing in the house when necessary
Room itself (first 2 pictures) is on the first floor. One step from the street into the front garden but we have a wheelchair ramp if needed (one tenant is a very occasional wheelchair user).
We try to use eco and/or lower scent products in the house due to skin and sensory sensitivity
As mentioned before we're all neurodivergent and chronically ill/disabled in one way or another so we're happy to discuss ways to make living together as easy as possible and come to compromises together.
