Double bedroom with en-suite in canal-side flat!

Main Lounge

This double bedroom with en-suite bathroom is available in a beautiful and clean 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom flat in Limehouse / Mile End / Stepney Green (we're equi-distant between all three!), available 18 August 2024. Bootmakers Court is a highly desirable building, with stunning views up the canal.

The bedroom is a large double with a built-in mirrored wardrobe. Coming off the bedroom is an en-suite with a freestanding / rainfall shower, toilet and sink. There are two bedside cabinets, two chests of drawers and plenty of storage space within the wardrobe and under the bed.

The flat itself has a common kitchen and living room with large floor-to-ceiling windows wrapping around the unit, allowing for sunlight throughout the day as well as a large balcony which looks directly on to Regents Canal. It is on the 3rd floor and a beautiful suntrap during nice weather.

The flat contains all the items needed for comfort - washing machine, large fridge & freezer, oven, 4-ring hob and microwave. Unfortunately the flat is not pet-friendly or suitable for a couple, but comes fully furnished. The flat, the room and the en-suite bathroom will be getting a makeover, with fresh paint prior to moving in.

The building is owned and maintained by L&Q, and the flat is supplied by water, electricity, heating and broadband by the same companies as the other flats in the building.

The building is equipped with a key fob entrance for security (two separate doors to enter), and two elevators as well as a staircase.

The flat is located within walking distance to multiple Underground stations (Central, Hammersmith and City & District Lines), the DLR and the Overground (maximum walk 10 mins).

It's close to several grocery stores such as Asda, Lidl, Tesco Express and Co-Op, and lots of restaurants / bars / pubs / fast food places. It is within walking distance of Whitechapel market, Brick Lane, Aldgate and Victoria Park, Mile End Climbing Wall and a PureGym.

It is perfectly located to get into the city in no time at all, and has great links to Canary Wharf, Greenwich (and a large IKEA!) or further afield.

Rent is £1,200/month, deposit is 4-5 weeks’ rent, minimum contract is 12 months.

Bills not included, but on average they work out as around £150/month per person (every 3 months this will increase to £250/month per person as we pay heating / gas quarterly).

I live in the flat, and am seeking a replacement as my housemate will be moving out at the end of our current lease (17 August 2024). I want to stay in the flat as it is a great place to live, but need to fill the other room.

I am 32, male, professional working in pharmaceutical sales. I enjoy my own space, but like to watch TV or hang out in the lounge socially with my housemate. Enjoy a trip to the pub (we have several great pubs nearby!), a night out or a night in with board games, music and charcuterie. I use the local PureGym as well as play sport in Mile End Park, making use of the football and hockey pitches, tennis courts, and basketball nets.

I work from home 3 days a week. and split my time in and out of the flat. I keep things clean and tidy, so the flat is usually always in great condition.

The ideal housemate would be a working professional who will pay rent / bills on time, chip in with cleaning and keeping the flat in good condition, and someone who is respectful of other people, especially when working from home. Above all, someone who will take the time to hang out socially and not hide away in the room all the time as want this to be a comfortable place to live for both of us - after a busy day at work, I like to unwind in the lounge or the park / gym nearby, or take a trip to the pub, and would love a housemate who wants to do the same! Of course, personal space is important, so understanding boundaries and respecting each other is of paramount importance.

The building is full of like-minded young professionals, we respect each other's space and the building as a whole. There is a WhatsApp group with most tenants to discuss any issues or ask advice - everyone is super friendly!

The flat is available for viewing immediately.
