Double room in sunny Dalston

A spacious, bright room is available in a unique flat in a quiet road off Stoke Newington High Street. We are looking for a friendly and creative person who's preferably in full-time employment

The flat itself is splitlevel and both spacious and light, with a shared large kitchen-diner, bathroom and a small but delightful garden. Occupants include myself (owner occupier), a literary translator from Norwegian, and a tenant who works in catering but is also an artist and potter. We regularly enjoy a conversation over a meal or glass of wine, but equally respect each other’s need for space.

The flat has excellent transport links: Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction are respectively 5 and 8 minutes walk away; from the top of the road there are regular buses to Waterloo, Liverpool Street and London Bridge; and there are further buses from Newington Green going to Euston, Kings Cross, Oxford Street and Victoria.

The flat is just 5 minutes walk from the independent boutiques and restaurants in Church Street. 5 minutes walk in the other direction will take you into the heart of trendy Dalston. But if you can’t be bothered to go that far for your morning cappuccino and croissant, we have plenty of cafes at the top of the road. We also have a 24-hour shop 2 minutes away. Other local amenities include Clissold Leisure Centre, Clissold Park, Ridley Road Market, Rio Cinema, the Stoke Newington Farmer’s Market, a fine array of pubs to suit every taste and even a local car boot sale.

The large welcoming kitchen/diner is one of those kitchens which people love to spend time in. It has a large table which seats 6 very comfortably, but can seat 8 or 9 friendly guests! This is not a party house, but entertaining is fine. Visitors are welcome to stay with advance notice.

The garden is small but a harbour of peace. It comfortably seats four around the table for an evening meal or even a barbecue. It has sun from the early morning, so is lovely for breakfast.

Broadband access and all bills included.

Residential parking is available from Hackney Council.
