Friendly Double-Zone 2 Incl ALL Bill + swim lake

Welcome !

SHORT TERM ONLY initially - from 31 March until 25th April, then long term after 2 May 2026.

We are looking for a single person or a couple to take this room while we await for friends who will be staying 7 days from 25th April - 2 May. After 2nd May, the room is available again on a more long term basis.

The double room (located in a large Victorian house close to Manor House tube station) is very light and airy with two large Victorian sash windows and faces south. Sorry the photos were taken at night - it really is a lovely light bedroom !

The house is a large double fronted 3 storey Victorian house with a large wooded garden.
The house is split in two, with a separate lounge and kitchen upstairs for the lodgers. and downstairs there is a separate kitchen and lounge for the owners (3 adults - aged 28, 26 and 21) share the ground floor kitchen and lounge.

The shared spaces are the entrance, hallway and bathrooms - there are three bathrooms and also a separate toilet on the ground floor.

The house currently comprises, a mixture of American, South African, Kiwi and English lodgers.
Current occupants are all young professionals (civil engineer, mechanical engineer, lawyer, economics, business) with a range of interests – so sports (open water swimming, climbing and running), environment and the arts, plus the relaxation of watching movies from the shared lounges.

Whist we like to respect everyone's privacy, we also like to be sociable too - so the occasional group meal (in the weekend) and a movie night are great ways to unwind and share a glass of vino. Note: we are not a "party house" as we all have to work during the week.
So a friendly and respectful home that hopefully you will feel happy to join !!

Kitchen cleanliness is the recipe to happiness - so we looking for someone who is quick to clean up after themselves, and to share in the communal cleaning tasks - especially taking out the rubbish and most importantly -recycling of rubbish, which is mandatory in Hackney - the borough of the house.

If you like to cycle to work, your bike can be stored in the back garden (for added security).
