Double bedroom available in a family home, including all bills

The room for rent is a light-filled double bedroom. It is centrally heated, and fully furnished with a double bed (bedding and towels provided), desk and chair, lots of storage space including full wall fitted wardrobes, and ultra-fast Wi-Fi. The room has views and direct access to our private large semi-tropical garden and allows a lot of privacy and is a wonderful, quiet retreat.

The facilities are shared. You would have use of a comfortable lounge room with TV (Netflix, Prime, Disney +, etc),

If you like cooking you will LOVE the large and fully equipped professional-standard kitchen! It has all the amenities including dishwasher, double oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, etc.

There is a shared family bathroom, with wc, separate shower and free standing bath, with lots of storage for your products and toiletries.
There is also a separate shared guest wc near the lounge.

Our house is an elegant family garden duplex, situated on a leafy residential street. The apartment is lovingly furnished and has featured in an interior design magazine. It is light and airy, with high ceilings and direct access to a large, private semi-tropical garden in Archway, N19. Conveniently located in Zone 2 with many public transport options including the tube station 5 minutes’ walk from the house, and an overground station 2 minutes away.

Archway is a buzzing neighborhood in Zone 2. It has an underground and overground station, bus links, gyms, public tennis courts, close to several public swimming pools, a great many shops, specialty Asian, Turkish and international grocers, supermarkets, bars, restaurants, etc. There is an Odeon cinema a short walk away and arthouse cinemas in nearby Crouch End. Islington, Kentish Town and Camden are all within easy access, and central London is a 20 minute bicycle ride away. The neighborhood is also close to a great many parks and outdoor spaces, including Hampstead Heath and Highgate Woods.

We are a welcoming, inclusive, liberally-minded and academic household. I am a working single-mother of two sons aged 16 and 18 years and our large, very friendly dog. So you have to be OK with young people and animals!

The room would ideally suit someone who is independent but friendly and happy to be involved in our warm family environment. We love all kinds of food and occasionally sharing meals with the lodgers is something we enjoy and find bonding. We have a cleaning lady for communal parts but you will be expected to clean up after yourself and it is important that you are happy to be a respectful and considerate member of the household.

The room is available from early October.
