Double Room in Haggerston Warehouse E8

We have two rooms available in our 1930's converted factory/warehouse @ £890pcm (ex council tax & bills/approx £100pcm). One available on the 24th April & the other on the 7th May.

Both are fabulous, loft style rooms with high ceilings and a mezzanine bed (which gives you the benefit of all the available floor space beneath). One is an ‘L’ shaped room with a permanently fixed desk space & shelves under the mezzanine. There are some furnishings that could be available if needed, a chesterfield chair, wardrobe and a mattress.

This is one of the last truly spectacular old style warehouse shares left in Hackney, it’s part of a group of spaces inhabited by an eclectic mix of people; you won't find many others like this in zone 2.
There are five bedrooms surrounding a communal area that is a colossal 1200 sq ft, featuring some characterful antiques and vintage collectables. There’s a huge overhead skylight, which gives plenty of natural daylight, ideal for our giant house plants!
We even have a pulpit! (Great for sermons, political manifestos or just generally preaching to the converted) The main space is also host to photographic shoots & filming.

Our kitchen is wallpapered with a collage of pinups whilst the bathroom has an antique French roll-top bath.
There is gas central heating, and for particularly chilly evenings a wood-burning stove.

The warehouses are a community and it is essential that any prospective flatmate has an appreciation and respect for the space. This includes a sense of responsibility and proactive approach to keeping things running smoothly. Not averse to a spot of cleaning, changing lightbulbs, emptying bins etc.

Although obviously it's a great space for a knees-up, this is not a party house and we don't bring the entire pub back home. We like a peaceful, homely vibe.

You would be sharing with four others plus an adorable fluffy black cat. There are currently more girls than guys with an average age of 35. We work in/as, clothes designer/actor, freelance fashion creative/lecturer, freelance researcher/psychotherapist.
We don't have a tv in the living room; (although we do sometimes set up a projector for film nights) we much prefer the endangered pastime of conversation and can have a healthy debate on pretty much any topic - nothing is taboo.
We occasionally like to cook for each other, healthy (ish!) food is definitely encouraged.

Interests include drag racing (seriously, actual drag racing! Not RuPaul - but stilettos are also popular in the house), philosophy, tiki, vintage vehicles, art, the blues, sewing/making things, cooking, pickling, vintage outfits, fashion, music and cheese.


And sorry but no cats or dogs, small pets in cages are ok.

Council Tax is band E
