£1775 bedroom & office in heart of HI

Living space

Double room + bonus small room in a bright 3-bed maisonette, Highbury (N5)

A double bedroom plus a second small room (office or dressing room) is available in a lovely upper maisonette on a quiet residential street. It’s two blocks from Highbury Fields and a 6-minute walk to Highbury & Islington station.

The flat
It feels like a house: you enter at ground level, and there’s a garden plus a utility/laundry room downstairs. Upstairs, the living room, kitchen and bathroom share one floor and the three bedrooms are on the top level.

Your space
- A double bedroom with a bed and wardrobe included, two big windows overlooking a quiet street, built-in bookshelves and a decorative fireplace
- A separate small room that’s yours to use. It was once a bedroom, but it's currently set up with built-in closets (that my current flatmate is looking to sell) and a desk. You can see both rooms on the floor plan in the pictures.
- The downstairs bathroom is shared but I have a bathroom in my room so don't use it

About me
I’m a Canadian in my late 30s working in communications for a tech company. I’ve lived in London for 10 years and in this flat since 2018, with a rotating cast of good friends/flatmates. I’m sociable and keep busy but also like a night in and work in the office usually 3-4 days a week. I love fitness, writing, reading, dancing and surfing, and I like hosting dinners at home now and then. I like the flat kept clean and I would say my standards are high on that front. I cook but tbh am often on the girl dinner train.

Who I’m looking for
Someone warm, kind and considerate, with a professional career and a full life: a mix of social plans and nights in. A flatmate who’s friendly and up for chat or dinner, but also happy to do their own thing. My current flatmate is moving out in early December, so the room is available from 7 Dec onwards. I will need someone to sign onto the lease and go through the usual checks with the agency the landlord uses.

If that sounds like you, message me with a bit about yourself. Only other thing I'd note is that this is a Victorian house so the heating is not modern, the pipes can be loud and the floorboards creak - but that's all part of the charm if you like an older house with personality!
