Double /single room in Newington Green

Hi,

We're looking for a new housemate to join our calm, clean and well-functioning home in Newington Green (N5).

You'll be living with Chef, an artist and Muk, our very gentle (and slightly demanding) 18-year-old Siberian cat.

This is a home built on easy communication, mutual respect, and a natural rhythm that works. We get on very well, share space comfortably, and also give each other room to breathe.

We are a progressive, open-minded household and value inclusivity, respect, and awareness of others.

The Room

The room can be offered either furnished or unfurnished, depending on the new tenant's needs and preferences. We're happy to discuss what would work best for you.

The House
Ground floor Victorian flat on a quiet residential street, yet very well connected

• A huge, well-maintained green garden
• Small kitchen + cosy living room
• Art-filled space with character
• Great relationship with our landlord
• Friendly, low-key neighbours

It’s a peaceful, warm space that we actively care for and invest in.

The Area – Newington Green
Newington Green is one of North London’s most desirable pockets, known for its village feel and creative community.

Nearby highlights:
• Clissold Park – large green space, ideal for walks and downtime
• Stoke Newington Church Street – independent shops, cafés, and restaurants
• A mix of local bakeries, wine bars, and small businesses

Transport connections:
• Canonbury Overground Station – quick links to East & Central London 5 minutes
• Dalston Kingsland Station nearby 15 minutes
• Multiple buses with easy access to the City and beyond

You get a rare balance of green space + strong connections + community feel

The Atmosphere
Mostly calm, clean, and quiet
Occasionally music, dinners, or friends over

Balanced, respectful, and easy to live in

Who This Works Best For
Someone who:
• Works full-time (ideally office-based or out most days)
• Is easygoing, independent, and socially aware
• Communicates directly and is comfortable with others who do the same
• Is naturally tidy and contributes to maintaining the home
• Love cats & dogs

Important Details
• Occasional WFH is fine, but not full-time
• Good ventilation habits are essential (we actively manage airflow and humidity)
• No couples

Not the Right Fit If You:
• Spend most of your time at home
• Are messy but think you’re tidy
• Avoid direct communication or are easily overwhelmed by it
• Want to reshape the home to your own way of living
• Burn incense, sage, or similar (allergy in the house)

Perks of Living Here
• Huge garden in London (rare at this price point)
• Calm, drama-free home with strong communication
• Creative, thoughtful environment
• Respectful flatmates who already have a good dynamic
• A home that feels like a place to recharge
