❗️It's a great home, but there are some negatives, the water pressure isn't always so good and the soundproofing isn't all it could be, think about that for a moment….although the area is a quiet area.

‼️Ours is a quiet relaxed home, with very few house rules, but cleanliness is extremely important. We are not a frat party house, our ages range from 20 to 65 and we're a mixed straight/gay house, no couples. We are three different nationalities and ethnicities, we embrace diversity.

🔱 And here's the most important thing: We're looking for someone who'll fit right in with us. We're a tight-knit group, and we want someone who's both smart and friendly. We're not just looking for someone to live with, we're looking for someone to join our support network. Our home is like a big family, and we expect everyone to contribute. Many of our former housemates remain great friends and we hope you'll meet them.

One last thing:

💰The average London room rent including standard bills is £982 a month. In our home that equates to £867 a month plus bills.
💰We provide at least £258 a month of extras per room, including utilities, cleaning, entertainment and household products 🟰 £1125
💰The garden, sitting room and fully equipped kitchen are worth a quarter of £867 (in lost revenue) = £216
💰Total £1341
💰Renting this above average room for £1300 a month is to rent a superb room in a great home at a discount to the average market rate.

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to read this! We know our home will only appeal to a very small discerning group of people.

If you've got any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. If you're interested, we'll consider all offers, this is not not just about the money. It's about our mutual chemistry and what you can bring to make this our happy home.

Good luck!
