Hey there!
First, let us tell you a bit about the flat:
- It's a 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms flat with a huge kitchen/living area, open plan and a decent storage cupboard
- It's in a large development of flats inside an old cotton mill, behind a private gate. There is a lovely shared outdoor space with both a bike shed and bike racks
- The flat is located on the first floor (there is a lift in the building) and it's ~West facing, so we get a ton of natural light and evening sunset
- There is parking that can be negotiated with the building managers for an extra fee
- It's a private rental scheme, so the landlord owns the whole building, and there's a maintenance company that quickly fixes any issues
- Shacklewell Lane is a short walk to Dalston Kingsland, lots of buses go down Kingsland Road. Dalston Kingsland overground is 2 stops from the Victoria Line, and there is also Hackney Downs overground station which goes straight to Liverpool Street
- Finally, there is an awesome park, Hackney Downs, 2 min walk from the flat
Now, about the room for rent:
- It's a large double room with two high windows that comes unfurnished (although the previous renter is willing to sell two wardrobes and a bed mattress)
- It has its separate bathroom just across the hallway
- Rent is £912 pcm and bills are around £145 each pcm (includes water, electricity & gas, wifi, council tax and a cleaner that comes twice a month, which we're keen to keep as we like our place to stay clean)
- There is a deposit to be paid
- The move-in date is July 1
Finally, a bit about us:
We're a couple who moved to London about two years ago after living for a while in New Zealand and the US. I'm a 25yr from Switzerland, I work remotely for a fintech startup in impact measurement as a Community Manager. I’m into climbing and most outdoor activities. Will is a 29yr Assistant Producer working for a local film company from New Zealand. He’s a big music and movie buff and photographer on the side. I work from home and Will 1-2 days per week currently.
We share a passion for the outdoors, travelling and cooking while trying to live a sustainable lifestyle as much as we can.
During the week, we work long hours, so we tend to do some type of exercise and cook at home, play music and enjoy movie nights (we have a small but mighty projector which you'd be free to use :). We're always out on weekends, seeing friends and exploring the city, if not travelling abroad.
We're looking for someone with whom we can be mates and feel comfortable hanging around the house. Someone who only works from home a couple of days per week max. We love to share meals now and then and have friends over once in a while. Our party days are coming to an end, so we keep it pretty chill :)
Pets are welcome but unfortunately not cats.
Reach out if you're interested and let us know a bit about yourself!
Cheers,
Vic and Will
