Upstairs flat in Heaton

Upstairs flat, east facing room, on Spencer Street in Heaton.

(Pics are up to date but I forgot about the video, which is a couple of years old, will sort a new one soon.)

Room is 10 feet by 7.5. Has a new double bed with Emma mattress, wall mirror, shelves and drawers. There’s also a wardrobe in the lounge for your use (can be moved into your bedroom if you prefer, but you have more space this way).

Flat is spacious and pleasant, east/west facing so gets loads of light, and has a private yard (proper sun trap too, especially in late afternoons).

There’s a shared lounge, well stocked kitchen, and shower room (no bath I’m afraid, just a walk in shower). Some storage space available in loft. There’s also a west facing outside balcony accessed from the kitchen, with stairs down to a private yard.

Yard can potentially be used for parking if needed (certainly over winter), and there’s free parking on Spencer Street and the back alley. The hall downstairs can be used to keep a bike inside if you need.

We’re two minutes walk from the high street Chillingham Road. Loads of nearby shops, cafes, restaurants etc. Easy access by car, bike, bus and metro to Newcastle, the universities, other areas of town, the coast and so on.

You’d be living with me. I’m a single gay guy, in case that’s a deal breaker, but queer and non queer welcome. (Long as you don’t mind that I have guys back from time to time.)

Cleaner comes every couple of weeks to do the social areas, though they’ll probably hoover your room on request, and window cleaner visits monthly.

I’m a sociable and active guy, work in schools IT (forcing me to be an early riser I’m afraid). Often out with mates (pub, walking, dinner dates, game nights, cinema) or with my family. Big fan of horror movies, cocktails, homoerotic cinema, and pretentious novels. I’ve just got an allotment, though I’m not very good at it.

Things like age range are negotiable if we get on.

You’re welcome to use the lounge and kitchen, have partners over (though not move them in, flat not big enough for three sorry), and mates (though my current working arrangements really don’t suit late parties, if you like to cane it at home till 4am I’m pretty jealous tbh, but it probably wouldn’t work to have you live here).

There’s probably stuff I’ve forgot to add. Feel free to ask.

Council tax is included in bills, if you get an exemption (e. g. you’re a full time student) a reduction can be arranged.

Deposit is just the first month’s rent paid in advance, you’ll then just make normal rent payments from month two on.
