Big & Bright Room in the Heart of Shoreditch

Main room

An amazing double room is becoming available in our top-floor flat in the intersection between Shoreditch High Street and Old Street and we are looking for a new flatmate to take it!

After 4 years our current flatmate had to move out so we're looking for someone to move in at the end of May. We're looking for someone who we can get on with and live with. This is a home rather than just a room and would be great to find someone who is independent but is also happy to share dinner or a visit the local café or restaurant every now and then.

The flatmates
We are one girl from Cambridge and a guy from London, both in our early thirties. We work full time and have active social lives and are out several days per week. On weekends, we do the usual things like going to markets, to the movies, eating in/out, going for drinks, travelling, cycle tours etc. So despite of the location, the flat is our "sanctuary", somewhere peaceful to come back to. Therefore, not looking for someone who still enjoys midweek partying..

The flat
We are in a beautiful old building next to St Leonard's Church, with apartments in the top floor and offices in the floors below, which makes it unusually quiet. The flat is split in two storeys and has the style of an old warehouse, with super high ceilings, a concrete floor and large windows. It also has relatively-new and well-sized kitchen and bathroom. The main/entrance floor, comprises the fully equipped open plan kitchen/living room, a great spiral staircase, two rooms, and a full bathroom (shower, no bath). The room coming available is one of the ones on this main floor, above there is a large en-suite room up the spiral staircase. The communal areas of the flat are always clean and tidy, and would be great to find someone with the same level of commitment.

The bedroom
The double room is loft style, large and has plenty of space. It has one big window facing a school yard. It comes with a chest of drawers. There is an option to buy the double bed. It is enough tucked away from the High Street to make it quite quiet for the location.
