Rooms to rent
Please pass this on to anyone you know looking for a room!
Looks like the whole buying a house thing is moving along nicely and, if all goes to plan, I'll probably be moving in early August.
Simon's decided to stay at our current place (can't blame him - it's bloody lovely. If it didn't make so much financial sense to buy a house, I would never leave!), so we're both looking for new flat mates.
First off, my new place. It's a two bed ground floor garden flat with large, front-facing bedrooms and a rear-facing modern kitchen and lounge and one bathroom. The garden's well-sized and I'm planning on doing a fair bit of work on it, including putting up a conservatory and putting in a barbecue pit, a couple of hammocks and a veg garden.
I'm ideally looking for someone who's going to be more than just someone who hides away in their room - someone who enjoys a glass of wine, loves their food, enjoys shouting at the TV and deep conversation, likes to party, likes company and likes the weirder side of life. If you're them, you should come live with me. I'm easy going, generally reasonably clean and tidy (though not quite perfect!). I like cooking, reading, films, partying, festivals, board games, cards, going to strange events in London, taking interesting things, dreaming, travelling, eating out, theatre... well, you name it.
Rent's going to be £500 a month, plus bills. There'll be a broadband line & a projector in the living room for watching films & downloads but no TV. The flat will come with everything including crockery, kitchen equipment and furniture, unless you want to bring your own bed/wardrobe/etc. It's less than five minutes from the station on a quiet road, near to the shops of Turnpike Lane.
Given the still up-in-the-air state of the purchase, I can't guarantee a date (might know next week), but suspect either the first or third week of August.
Secondly, my old place. Everyone who comes over says how lovely it is. It's very modern, having been completely renovated six months ago in a clean, minimalist style. Wooden floors throughout, a great kitchen, huge lounge and a lovely bathroom. Simon's a good housemate - very clean & tidy, thoughtful and active on the goth scene. He'll be wanting someone who is going to keep the place clean and tidy and not overly cluttered. Rent is £638 pppm plus bills.
There's a 10Mb broadband line with wireless access & no phone line. It's fully furnished. My room won't have a mattress but the landlord would probably be happy to provide that if asked. He's a great landlord - one of the best I've ever found. We deal with him direct and any problems are fixed quickly and effectively. It's a two minute walk to Finsbury Park which has served as my back garden over the summer. There's a great pub (The Faltering Fullback) directly opposite which has one of the best beer gardens in London and does pretty good Thai food. Your room will be at the back, so you won't hear a peep out of it! We're five minutes walk from the station and really close to a big range of shops and supermarkets. Get a room here and be the envy of all your friends!
