Cosy Room in Terraced House+Garden 🏳️‍🌈 FRIENDLY

The Garden this summer post landscaping project

Hey - We're looking for a nice new housemate to join our lovely E17 house share.

The room on offer is a cosy box room, with a good amount of storage space, double glazed window and smart thermostat. The photos show the room with a queen-size double bed, but it currently doesn't have a bed in it - landlords would provide a brand new bed and this could be another small double or a single bed, whatever the new housemate woukd prefer.

Our place is a beautiful old Edwardian red brick terrace house, with a good-sized garden, separate kitchen, living room and dining room downstairs, with a bathroom and 3 bedrooms upstairs.

Approx 10-12 min walk to Walthamstow Central - Victoria Line (night tube) and Weaver Line overground. Takes about 30-35mins from the house to Kings Cross Station.

***AVAILABILITY & VIEWINGS***
Room Available from 1st of October (but can do from 25th Sept earliest)
Viewing times available on request.

We will look at all messages and profiles of people who express interest, please give us as much info and insight into you as possible if you are keen.

Room/House details >>>

+ Bills which are set include Council Tax (Band D), Wifi and TV licence which come to £80/month (reviewed every April when council tax bill is issued). Due to fluctuations in Gas/Electric and water prices, and the fact that these utilities are based on usage, these is not set. Instead, an estimated amount to contribute per month for g/e + water will be agreed by all housemates and the actual bills costs will then be averaged out periodically when bills are received to calculate any credit or debit per housemate.

Us - The current housemates >>>

Patrick - they/them - 41 - working in local & regional government
Hattie - she/her - 33 - self-employed sign painter & freelance PR comms

The house belongs to Hattie's parents who live in Italy now, and the house has been rented out for 20+ years as she grew up in Scotland for the most part. Hattie moved back in 2019 and helps out by making sure all the bills are sorted, managing any problems that arise and generally looking after the house.

Patrick moved in July 2025 (joining the house from Spareroom too!). They like cooking, going out with friends, weekend raves and support Leyton Orient football team.

Hattie has a dog called Luna, who is 7 and was rescued from Croatia. No idea what kind of dog she is, a mystery mix, but she's about the size of a fox (7.5kg) and has a chill feline energy much of the time, but loves to play and being outdoors. Luna joins Hattie most places; long walks, drinks with friends, perusing markets and charity shops. Hattie likes all things creative, including cooking up random things (veggie) and escaping on adventures in her campervan.

FYI - Hattie will likely be off travelling with Luna for a few months soon, so will be subletting her room.

Walthamstow is wonderfully diverse, really up-and-coming and has changed loads since Hattie lived here when she was a kid. It has lots of new shops, bars, cafes, etc. but thankfully still has some great community spots like the nearby Rose & Crown pub, Walthamstow Trades Hall and markets on both Wood St & High St. It's a lovely part of London to explore, with a lot going for it - big parks, bars, great foodie spots, galleries, independent shops and loads more. A very creative area with a big supportive creative community - Hattie can intro.
