Hi there,

£1,050pcm + Bills ~£150pcm | Save hundreds on groceries (read on)! | Bedroom + Shared Spare Room + Lounge | Home in E14 | Available 15 June | Great for WFH

We're a couple looking for a new flatmate to join us in our 3-bedroom apartment in E14, just off Burdett Road. The flat is within easy walking distance of Mile End (18 mins walk) and Westferry (12 mins walk), with a big Lidl, Tesco Express, the canal and Mile End Park all close by (1-3 mintutes).

The Room

The available room is approximately 2.9m x 3m and comes with a very comfortable Nectar double mattress (the departing flatmate described it as the most comfortable bed he's slept on, and we've just bought a new cover and top so it's effectively as-new, it's only a year old). Drawers are included. The room currently doesn't have a wardrobe, but you're welcome to use the wardrobe that's in the spare room.

The Flat

The southwest-facing side of the apartment contains the lounge, spare room and our bedroom, which means they get plenty of afternoon and evening sun. You would be welcome use the spare room for hobbies, exercise, storage, laundry or guests/someone crashing.
There's a decent-sized lounge and a sunny southwest-facing balcony with herbs, starberries, blueberrries, tomatoes and other plants, plus space to sit outside and enjoy the afternoon sun.

The northeast side contains the kitchen, bathroom, separate toilet and second bedroom.

About Us

Alex (39) is originally from New Zealand and works as Head of IT for a creative company. He works from home around half the time. Alex has ADHD and comes with the usual mix of enthusiasm, random interests, occasional chaos and half-finished projects (and a bloody amazing balcony garden).

Meg (34) is English and works evenings in front-of-house catering. She often brings home surplus food from work which we're happy to share, and it can help keep food costs down. Meg is curious, fun, creative, sometimes introverted and sometimes extroverted.

The food brought home from a canteen for blue chip company, so it's all high quality and mostly healthy! We only buy food from supermarkets on some weekends. The volume of high quality food they would throw out is insane! It literally saves us thousands a year.

We both enjoy getting outdoors, travelling, festivals, live music and exploring London. Musical tastes range from hard techno, jungle and electronic music through to folk, indie and metal.

We enjoy the occasional big night out and festival, but this isn't an after-party flat. Friends and family visit, but home is generally somewhere to relax, recharge and feel comfortable. With the occasional drink up, of course.

More than anything, we're looking for someone who wants to be part of a friendly home rather than simply rent a room.

We're reasonably clean and tidy but more maximalist and rough around the edges than perfectionist. If you're comfortable in a home that's lived-in, friendly and looked after, we'd love to hear from you.

The Area

1 minute from the canal

Important

The room is available with a couple of days notice as we'll get it professionally cleaned before anyone moves in (its not in a bad state at all but we want it to be welcoming). We'll probably get a cleaner in for the flat weekly or every two weeks from here on out too, but that's up for discussion. Alex is happy to pay for it.

Rent 1050 + bills. You won't be added to the tenancy agreement, which we're happy to explain in person. However, you'll be able to register at the address for council tax, banking, GP registration and other local services.

If this sounds like it could be a good fit, send us a message telling us a bit about yourself.
