I’m looking for a friendly and considerate professional to share my tenancy for a beautiful, bright and clean first-floor maisonette in Bowes Park. This is a rare opportinity for someone to rent two rooms essentially in the price of one.
The flat is on a peaceful, tree-lined street with excellent transport links:
2-min walk from Green Lanes
5-minute bus ride or 25-minute walk to Wood Green station
15-minute walk to Bounds Green station
15-minute walk to Bowes Park station, with direct trains to Highbury & Islington and Moorgate stations
The area has a lovely neighbourhood feel, with independent grocers, cafés, bakeries, restaurants, green spaces and local amenities nearby. Myddleton Road is also close by, with cafés, bars, restaurants, a monthly Sunday market and occasional local events. Tesco Express, a GP surgery, pharmacy and gym are all within easy reach.
Rooms available
Bedroom 2 PLUS Study room. The two rooms are available together.
The bedroom is a good-sized south-facing double room with plenty of light. It has nice views to the back gardens of the house. It includes a double bed frame, large chest of drawers, wardrobe chest and bookcase. A mattress, duvet, curtains and desk can be provided if needed, or the room can be rented unfurnished.
The study room (bedroom 3 in the schematic plan) is a beautiful room. The door has stained glass reflecting the light from the south part of the flat and it has lovely street views. It currently includes a bookcase and a clothes hanger and we can buy a desk if needed. It also has the router of the wi-fi. which would work well as a study/home office.
The rent for BOTH Bedroom AND the study room for one person is: £1197/month including some bills (£1100 for rent + £85.70 for council tax + £11 for Sky Full fibre 150 wi-fi). Gas/electricity and water bills are not included and are estimated to be ~ £60-£75(during the winter months). If you want the room unfurnished it will be £1050 rent + all bills.
If rented separately to different people:
- Bedroom 2: £1050 including bills and - -Single room (available MONDAY TO FRIDAY ONLY): £320 including bills.
(The MASTER bedroom is also on offer either furnished with the furniture shown here, or unfurnished. See Advert Ref: 18331952
The flat
The flat has a lovely shared living room, where a sofa bed and desk will be added. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a table and a brand-new fridge/freezer. There is one very clean bathroom with a large dink and a bathtub. There is also a special closed area for the washing machine with extra storage for cleaning products, bowls, e. t. c.
There is also a beautiful private south-facing garden, accessed via stairs — perfect for enjoying in the warmer months and where you could put your own pots and plant and do some planting in the ground.
Bills are estimated at around £160–£170 per person per month if we are two people only, plus any cleaner’s fees if we decide to have a cleaner. (The Council tax for the flat is band C. We are in Haringey council).
About me
You’ll be sharing the flat, with just me, and I’ll also be moving into the flat shortly from East London. I’ve lived in the UK for 17 years and currently work as an editor for a biology journal, having previously worked as a University researcher. I go into the office around twice a week, on flexible days, and I’m often away every couple of months for work or to visit family — so you’ll regularly have the flat to yourself.
Outside work, I enjoy music, photography, the arts and follow international affairs. At weekends I’m usually out seeing friends, going for coffee, visiting markets, exhibitions, events or gigs.
I’m friendly and sociable, and happy to chat over cooking or share the occasional glass of wine, if the general mood is such, while also respecting privacy and personal space.
I like to keep the home clean and uncluttered — especially the kitchen and bathroom — so I’m looking for someone similarly considerate who will help keep shared spaces tidy and pleasant.
I am the lead tenant, and the letting agency/landlady will require proof of employment, as well as financial checks. A one-month rent deposit will also be required.
