Room description
Hi I'm Claire, a friendly and positive professional looking to rent out a spare room in a lovely flat in Woodberry Down.
ABOUT THE FLAT
The flat is on a high floor with incredible panoramic views across London, a lovely shared living space and kitchen, balcony, and decent-sized bedrooms. I've been living here for 7 years now (both with housemates and with a partner). It's an amazing find, with beautiful fittings, great facilities and really well connected.
The building has a large residents' gym, pool and spa (sauna, steam room, hot tub, loungers, changing rooms) in the basement, which includes free fitness classes and is included in the rent. So there is a great saving versus a spa membership! There is also a concierge who takes deliveries, and a parking space available to rent with this room in underground secure parking if you are interested. We have a lovely residents' lounge you can work from with wifi.
ABOUT THE ROOM
The room available is a lovely extra large double with built-in double wardrobes. It can be used as a large bed or folded into a single day bed/sofa during the day if you wish to keep it as a single and create extra space in the room (we used to do this to make space for home workouts).
If you already have a bed we can arrange for the agent to take the one here away. The room shares a sizeable bathroom with a lovely bath with one other bedroom (the third room has an ensuite so will not be using your bathroom space, and Allie who you will share a b bathroom with is very clean and out from early in the morning.
The views from the bedroom are over to North London and Alexandra Palace (amazing views from there of the sunset and of the fireworks on bonfire night and New Year's Eve!)
ABOUT THE AREA
Downstairs, the area has a great brunch place with amazing coffee, supermarkets, pubs, a pizza restaurant and cafe, and we're 6 mins walk from Manor House station on the Piccadilly Line, or a 5-min bus ride / 15-min walk from Finsbury Park station. We're also less than 10 mins from Seven Sisters in the other direction, and super close to Clissold Park and Stoke Newington Church Street for a wander and the independent shops.
Right in front of the flat we also have Woodberry Wetlands, the West Reservoir where you can sail and swim (I often do!), and The Castle Climbing Centre and Clissold Park a short walk away. The whole area is very green and has gorgeous walking opportunities.
ABOUT ME
Lead tenant (Claire): I am a 34-year-old Managing Director of a consulting firm, freelance consultant and I have my own mental health startup. I was previously a Director at the UN in gender equality, and I co-founded a yoga and fitness studio in the area. In my free time I like exercising, going out for a meal or live music, seeing friends, travelling, and making the most of the cultural things London has to offer, but while I'm a sociable person I don't have parties at the flat or anything disruptive, and I usually work at my office during the daytimes.
Our other housemate, Allie, is a lovely warm 30-year-old creative and professional. We both like an early night and are quiet, clean and considerate to live with. We like to get together for a picnic or film occasionally, and sometimes even go on holiday together. We have plenty of houseplants, and our flat is super clean but really feels like a home.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for a friendly housemates to join us in this amazing flat. We live a busy life and respect the need to get good sleep, but also enjoy a pizza night and a chat from time to time.
BILLS
Bills work out at around £140 a month per person including utilities, Council Tax (Band D) and internet.
TIMING & VIEWINGS
We're looking for someone to move in by 12th May latest, so we'll be holding viewings in early May.
Get in touch with any questions, and to schedule a time to see it - looking forward to hearing from you :)
