WHAT IS THE HOUSE LIKE? :
It’s a contemporary architect modernised throughout by Studio Polpo across three floors and it’s interesting, with lots of light!
House is kept pleasantly tidy and clean - we have a cleaner who comes for four hours every fortnight for communal spaces included in the rental, & we muddle along nicely sharing in the interim.
Central heating of course, and like everyone we are working to make this an eco house.
Courtyard garden on the ground(!) there is also a small roof garden with seating for a quiet moment at dusk… ! Here we have a brabantia clothes line ( pulls out from wall) too
HOUSE COMMUNAL AREAS:
Large architectural porch as pre-entrance to the house for shoes-off as you enter
Alongside an extensive open plan living area of three linked spaces:

White gloss kitchen, big pull out drawers, with 5 ring hob, glass extractor fan, big Fisher & Paykel fridge, double fan oven & grill, microwave, washing machine, slim dishwasher etc
Slate floor, glass shelving, stunning flat roof light overhead, Walnut sink Island with K-Chef & food processor, InstantPot, Air fryer ; it’s a very well equipped kitchen & you are welcome to use it all.
Double french doors from the kitchen lead out to a large courtyard garden which turns a corner and leads through planting...
Dining Area: with 4 French doors open onto the courtyard garden. It has a big long table with a random mix of contemporary designer seating for 8 people, with Ghost (see through!) stools on the kitchen island, and a step down into living/relax spaces… dimmable down-lighters throughout.
Next up is the open plan contemporary living room, with reclaimed maple floor throughout the whole space, with a huge linen habitat sofa, large new habitat wool rug , A table etc. opposite a fireplace and various long, small, hand-made cupboards on the wall holding arty objects ! It’s homely, clean, and not precious.
There’s a 4th zone with a 2.5m library of books behind glass doors … you are of course welcome to enjoy them…Adjacent are the walnut wood stairs leading up to the walnut first floor landing. This house has four sets of quirky stairs- its very unusual contemporary architecture and an easy house to live in!

Both present house mates have their own groups of good friends, a sense of fun, are generous, kind, easy going and independent.

WHO ARE YOU? :
Easy going person working or studying in London, you will be warmly welcomed to share a great space together, and the odd meal and glass of wine/coffee/tea unwind.
It’s not a party house, and so looking for considerate, respectful & friendly person to join the house, share a great home, & someone who also does their own thing.
Not looking for those who work full time from home, but 1 day per week WFH is very fine indeed.
A non smoking house (essential), and mostly vegetarian ( but not always!) so looking to share with similar, but what you eat isn’t a breaker.
