Hello!
We are Polly, Gervase, and babies Frank and Ruby, and we have a beautiful double en-suite available in our house in central Hackney.
About us
We have always had housemates, including since having kids, and we love the warmth of a communal home. Our vibe is friendly, relaxed and social.
We have friends over for dinner, drinks or movies a lot, and you'd be really welcome to do the same - we love to meet new people! We also like to share meals and cooking as housemates.
We are looking for:
Someone friendly and sociable. This is perfect for you if you are into communal living and likely to be around a fair bit, up for socialising and doing fun stuff locally together. It's not a "come and go" flatshare kind of thing, we are all good friends and value social time together.
Someone happy to live with two toddlers! They are very cute and like to be chased and tickled, you know the usual toddler stuff.
The house:
A 3-bed terraced house in Hackney Central, 2 minutes walk to the station.
There's a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, mezzanine living room and patio courtyard garden and everyone shares all spaces in the house except bedrooms.
It's got the usual utilities and comes furnished.
The room:
The room comes furnished, has a king size bed and en suite (shower, loo, sink), and is £1,100 per month excluding bills (usually 150) and available from 20 June.
A bit about our rhythm with the kids:
- sleep: they are 3 and 1 years old so sleep from 7pm-7am. They sleep on the top floor so we don't need to worry too much about evening noise; we have dinner parties and occasionally house parties and it doesn't seem to wake them
- weekdays: they are out of the house all day Tues-Thurs at nursery but will likely be around more on Mondays and Fridays when we look after them.
- weekends: we are usually out and about seeing friends in the daytime.
The rental period:
We've set it as 6 months initially because we will be looking for a place in Leytonstone this summer, and the whole process will take at least 6 months. That said, we will also be looking for a housemate when we move to Leytonstone, so who knows - if the house works well and you want to move with us, it may well end up much longer!
If you're interested, get in touch telling us a bit about yourself :-)
