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 -cleaner who comes for four hours every fortnight for shared spaces included in the rental, & we muddle along nicely sharing in the interim.

Central heating of course.

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 SHARED 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:

KITCHEN:
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 also open onto the courtyard garden. It has a 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.

With reclaimed maple floor throughout the whole space, & a huge linen habitat sofa, large new habitat wool rug , side table etc. opposite a fireplace and various long, small, hand-made wall cupboards holding arty objects ! It’s homely, clean, and not precious.

2.5m library of books behind glass doors … & you are of course welcome to enjoy them…Adjacent is a walnut staircase leading up to the first floor. This house has four sets of quirky stairs- its unusual contemporary architecture and an easy house to live in!

ABOUT CURRENT HOUSEMATES :
Two people live here welcoming a third… One is an evolutionary biologist, personable and kind, loves food, board games, plants, ceramics, climbing & icy sports!
The other a professional artist/ gardener, works out on site & 2 days WFH; She leads a small arts charity and co-leads a community garden.

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


Two short haired tabby cats live here too - sweet & friendly brother & sister who do their own thing/spend time in the garden, sleep a lot…

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, & 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.

There’s a lockable cycle hub close to the house costs £36 per year to rent from the council.
