North London Queer/Flinta Home With Big Garden

Ground floor double room with private access to the garden, exceptional amount of shared space and facilities! 6 min walk from Turnpike Lane Station (Piccadilly Line)
Available from the 10th of April

We are looking for a queer housemate to welcome into our warm and kind home in North London. Current housemate’s aged 28-38 so we’re looking for someone of a similar age :)

We are a social house, we like to chat in our huge kitchen,
have dinners and occasionally head to the sauna, check out local live music or walk to the local brewery!
Of course, we also have plenty of calm down-time and respect each other’s needs and enjoyment of the house :)

Whilst we’re not a party house, we do occasionally collaborate to throw a summer garden party or birthday party together!
Otherwise, we have a pretty quiet and calm home during the week
Looking for someone kind, communicative, empathetic and clean ✨
