Double bedroom for rent in an amazing 2 bedrooms flat in Angel
£820
Description
My current flatmate has just moved out with her boyfriend, so I need a new flatmate to sign the next year contract for this amazing flat.
I have been living in the area for one year now and I am loving it, it's a fantastic location and the flat is really a bargain.
The flat:
The flat is in a mansion style block. It has two double bedrooms, a bathroom, a really big and modern kitchen with everything you can need. There is a storage cupboard/little room very handy for suitcases. And a massive living/dining room with sofas, dinning table, chairs, storage unit, TV...
In the flat I have BT broadband and TV with international calls included.
The flat is very bright and quiet, with a lot of windows facing south/west, and the neighbours are quiet too.
The room:
It is the biggest room of the flat. It has a king size bed, a massive double mirror wardrobe and a chest of drawers. Bedside tables available to add, currently on the storage room.
The area:
Just behind Islington Town Hall, with Upper Street around the corner, with all their amenities: shops, cinemas, theatres, bars, restaurants... Essex Road on the other side with their pubs, clubs, independent shops and restaurants.
Transport:
2 minutes from Essex Road Station (rail) and 10 minutes walk from both, Angel Station (Northern line) and Highbury and Islington station (several overground lines, national rail and Victoria line). Plenty of buses form Essex Road and Upper Street, to go everywhere night and day.
Me:
I am a 35 years old catalan girl. I have been living in London for almost 5 years. I am a professional artist and a teacher, so, whenever I am not teaching in my school in central London I am painting in my studio in Stratford. I love art, archaeology and theatre. I like meeting friends, going out from time to time, explore the city and doing arty stuff, like going to the theatre or exhibitions.
You:
I am looking for a sociable person, CLEAN and TIDY. A professional reliable and responsible to pay the rent and bills on time. Someone who I can have a chat over a glass of wine after work or go for a brunch sometime. Basically I am looking for someone who is after a home, not a room to sleep over, and will treat the place as its own.
It is not a party flat, so, if you are the party type this is not for you. However I have nothing against holding occasional dinners with friends, and having family or friends sleeping over from time to time.
I prefer a girl but boys are welcome to apply as I will consider everyone.
Bills:
Bills come around £100 per month per person. I am responsible of paying most of them from my account, but you must be willing to get in charge of the council tax and TV licence bills.
Tenancy:
It is through an agency so the new tenant must be able to pass the usual agency checks (salary, previous landlord, bank account). The rent of the big room is £820 per month and the deposit £875. It is a bargain for the area, really.
There is an agency fee of around £250. We'll sign for a minimum of a year contract and the landlord is happy to renew it each year. He lives around and is very helpful with any problem that might arise. He just changed the boiler and was thinking about refurbishing the bathroom.
