Offered: Room in a bike friendly house (Upper Holloway/N19)

So JB and Dom have decided to up and leave me wipes tear from eye(not because of anything bad I hasten to point out, they’re just moving on), and I don’t want to lose our nice house so I need someone to move in from October 14th
The house (technically a maisonette) is in Upper Holloway (N19), just off Hornsey road, which has proved itself to be a mighty fine area to live. Close enough to town to be a quick ride (you can be at Kings Cross or Stoke Newington in 20 mins) but far enough away for it to be quiet. Right by Finsbury park/Crouch End so plenty of nice pubs/restaurants etc and all the best hills in London (Swains, Highgate, Muswell etc) for those who want to get some climbing done.

**The other room has now been filled, by my friend Stu, lovely chap, looks like TM but doesnt cycle so that means theres even more room for bikes!
**
I’ll get some photos up ASAP, so please bear with the descriptions for the moment

Its not the biggest room in the world but there still room to move and a nice big window. You do get the use to the giant upstairs cupboard to store any extra stuff you might need in.

-Single bed, desk, draws and a wardrobe.

£535 plus bills

THE HOUSE

• The Hall, has a huge cupboard (currently has spare parts in), downstairs toilet and Importantly room for 5 bikes under the stairs!
  
  

-Big kitchen bright kitchen dinner with a fuck ton of cupboards, big shelving unit, washing machine, 4 ring hob (electric), extractor fan, fridge/freezer (only 4 months old), dinning room table with 4 chairs.

• The front room has a giant window on one side, two two person sofas, a 37” 1080p TV with media player and surround sound, my workstand and tools, and 2 wall hangers for bikes. We’ve stored another 4 bikes in her before too.
  
  

This is one end of it:

• Nice big garden with washing line and BBQ, plus table and chairs. Theres also a washing line and importantly an over hang from upstairs so you can still get clothes dry on a rack even in the rain. We’ve had loads of great times out there this summer.
  
  

We've also got full double glazing and we've just had a brand new Grade A combi boiler installed.

As for myself and the rest of the house I’ll let JB, Dom and Tommmmmmm (a former housemate) speak for themselves.

Yep, this place is awesome. I'll be sad to leave!

The master room is the biggest room I've ever had; I keep all my bikes (and more) in there along with the double bed, wardrobe, desk, plants and there's plenty of space left over. I'll throw up some pics later.

Jack's a great housemate too, super tidy, good fun and a flipping rad cook. Plus he owns loads of bike tools and a massive TV ;)

I'm going to be really sad to leave the place that I've called home for the last year.
Jack will be a much missed house mate. He's super tidy, a damn fine cook and an all around really nice guy. Dare I say it, but if I could, I'd probably live with him indefinitely. But I can't. But someone else should!

The house itself is great, too. With lots of room to work on bikes (which Jack is always more than willing to help with) and a garden which is rare and something that can definitely be taken advantage of. As Dom said, the big TV is great too and the area itself will feel like home very quickly. As others have said White Hill Stores is the best local shop ever.

All in all 10/10, would live there again.

This is an ace flat in a really nice area. spatr is very good to live with, and introduced me to Adventure Time and Archer, on the big TV, both of which improved my life hugely. I miss spatr, I miss watching The Wire, and I miss that corner shop as well. The house is also brilliant for fixie lovers. I totally took for granted how great it was to live in a place with limitless bike storage, a full complement of tools and a work stand.

And I didn't make as much use of the yard, which can be used for BBQs as well as dirty smoking.

I had to move out for work, as fuck Upper Holloway to Chingford every day, but I still look longingly across from my hill in Walthamstow at the lovely hills around North London.

tl;dr

Move in, you won't regret it!

I’ll put more details and photos up later

Just been informed that the rent has changed slightly so I've updated the prices.

So new cunts required for the twattery?

Indeedy! Plenty of forum members have been to the house so feel free to ask around e.g. Sumo, Scoot, Fade, Dimi3, 1000 archangels, shinkuu kiss to name a few!

So does that make you king cunt?

We're all equal in this house.

How many times? A cunt is a beautiful thing...

then perhaps jack has been subjected to genital mutilation

For God's sake James...

skinu kisses

?????????

soz bibz i'll correct that now

Have to say, aside from the child sized sofas this is the perfect bike-house... As well as the massive kitchen and bike facilities, there's an awesome Greek kebabbery and a midi-market with a huge selection of beers and snacks within a few minutes walk.

We've spent many a tender moment on these 'large chairs'

Good bike house and decent area, would revisit

midi market also has no card limit #alergictopaper
