We're looking for a new housemate to join our very special, large home in Brixton.
Our housemate is moving after 4 lovely years in the house. The room is a bright and decent-sized double, upstairs and facing the garden. It is partially furnished with a bed, mattress and an in built wardrobe.
Rent is £550 and bills are around £135 a month. The room is available from the start of Sept, contract length is flexible but we're looking for someone who wants to join longer term and share in calling this house a home 🙂
The house is a big 5 bedroom Victorian terrace, a 15 min walk to Brixton tube, Brixton market and 5 mins to Brockwell park. We have a big kitchen, a good sized garden with BBQ and firepit, big open plan living room with a big table for games / hosting, piano and an open fire! There's one shower room and one bathroom. (two toilets in the house all together)
It's an absolute gem, and really amazing value for the area. We have such good rent because we have a good relationship with the landlords; taking care of the house and doing simple maintenance / DIY as required. There’s no agency involved.
ABOUT US:
You’d be moving in with Josie (she/her) 32 charity worker and filmmaker/photographer who loves Samba music, activism and exhibitions, Manish (he/him) 37, an actor and NHS worker, Sophie (she/her) 34, a Product Manager for festivals, who loves events, trapeze and board games. Jules (she/her) 39 is a solo mum who does design, organises festivals and plays in a band. She and her 2 yr old son Arlie live with us part-time, staying at the house 2-3 nights a week.
We are all fairly busy but like to make time to socialise - cook together, play games, have record nights, chill with films etc. We enjoy meeting each other's friends and welcoming new people into the space, but we also respect each other's privacy and space when you need it.
THE HOUSE:
There are a few quirks with the property and some things are a bit old, but it’s big and beautiful at its core! It’s essential that someone joining the house is up for pitching in with household chores and wants to help us keep improving the space. We’re allowed to hang things on the walls, paint etc if we want so we’d love you to bring some ideas :-)
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
We know London life is crazy but we would like someone who uses the house for more than just a room. We are looking for someone who is chilled out, considerate and wants to share in the energy of making this house a home.
2 of the house are queer and we’re very much a queer-friendly house. We’re all in our 30s, so likely looking for someone 28+
Please message us with a bit about yourself; what you do, your age, interests etc, and what you really like in a house 🙂. If we feel you would be a good fit we will get back to you to arrange a viewing.
Access info: The house has 1 small step to enter and the bedroom is upstairs on the second floor. There are many stairs throughout the house.
