Hello! We’re looking for someone to rent a furnished room in our Stokey house. The house is 10 minutes from Rectory Road overground, located close to shops, restaurants, pubs and bars on Church Street and Stoke Newington High Street. We’re also very close to Stoke Newington common and Abney Park so there’s plenty of green spaces and the buses are good too.

This is a long-term sublet. You would be renting the spare bedroom from the existing housemates. It doesn’t mean you’d have any kind of different status day-to-day. It’s everybody’s home and everybody has an equal input into house decisions - it’s just a quirk of this house that there’s always someone subletting the extra bedroom. I’ve been in this room for 5 years and the only reason I’m leaving is because I’m moving country.

The rent is £752 including bills and house cleaning products. Bills are managed by us, not the landlord, so we often have to pay a bit extra into the house kitty, usually around £10-£15 a month. We keep accounts on a shared spreadsheet so it's all transparent.

The house is split over three floors and has a lovely big garden. We have a large living room/dining room with a big TV, a compact but functional kitchen, a main bathroom, a shower room, and a separate downstairs toilet. We also have an attic for storage and space to store a bike in the hall/living room if you need it. The house is non-smoking, but you can smoke in the back garden.

The room:

The room is a medium-sized double with a window out onto the garden. It comes furnished with a bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, desk and chair. You’d be welcome to get rid of this furniture, but it comes with the room.

The move in date is 2nd March. You could move in later if you wanted, but you’d have to pay the rent from 2nd March.

The housemates:

Soshana, 33 French (and hopefully soon-to-be British). Works in higher education. Partner to Alex, likes gardening, park walks, gallery visits and recently started sewing. Favourites include watching ducks at the pond and the colour blue.

Ilya, 31, Russian/British. Enjoys documentaries, chess, yoga, reading depressing Russian literature and travelling the far reaches of the former Soviet Union in search of the tastiest dumplings.

Freya, 27, Irish. Works in shipping for Fred Perry while desperately trying to become a solicitor. Loves Sims 4, winning pub quizzes (occasional champion at the Army and Navy), plane watching, and reading gay books.

Alex, 35, Scottish. Architect who enjoys exploring London with partner Soshana, on foot and by bike—exhibitions, talks, gigs, markets, pubs and parks. Loves his morning coffee in the garden with the neighbour’s big fluffy cat :)

We’re a chill house who all work different schedules and respect each other’s space. We don’t hang out outside of the house very often but we get on well, enjoy each other’s company & care for one another. We’re all quite different people, but the main thing that unites us is wanting to make our house a comfortable and inclusive environment that feels like a home for everyone living here.

You:

We’re looking for a housemate around 26-40. Someone tidy, easy-going & willing to pitch in with house jobs and cleaning. We all try to contribute in making our house a nice place to live, and would like to find someone who'd join in with that. We’re an LGBT-friendly home. We can’t accept pets unfortunately, sorry.
