About this listing

Double Room available in a House-Share with a friendly, easygoing, down-to-earth, and sociable half-Italian/Asian female in a fully furnished house in Laindon/Basildon. Originally from Florida, USA, and have a good sense of humor, or so I have been told by many.🤭 DOUBLE ROOM: Please note that the Double Room has now recently been refurbished to a light cream color (not blue anymore), plus will be having Sharps bedroom furniture fitted in and a brand new metal double bed frame with pocket sprung & memory foam mattress from Dreams, which will be encased with a waterproof mattress protector. (The Sharps fitted bedroom comprises of 5-door tall wardrobes all hanging rails and top shelves, x 2 bedside tables, x 2 chests of drawers, a large desk/dressing table with 6 drawers, and a matching laundry unit - (plenty of storage to store all your clothing and personal accessories). Also provided are brand new 4 pillows and a new duvet still packaged plus x 2 Double Bed Sets (Pillowcases, Duvet covers, and mattress covers) if you require using, but better if you have your own. You'll also have your very own Smart TV with Virgin Media, along with a complimentary Nvidia Shield and access to NETFLIX channels. There is also a new Wall Mounted Glass Flat Panel Electric Radiator controlled via Smartphone (Handy on those cold winter nights you can switch on from your phone at least 15 mins before coming home). I have also recently added the ASUS ZenWifi Device to the Double Room, which delivers extremely fast and stable wireless networking performance. Recently just purchased a brand new larger capacity Washing Machine with Dryer (which can even fit a King Size Duvet). The property is shared with x 2 Toilets, a Washroom/Cloakroom, a main Bathroom (recently refurbished and modernized with new shower unit and taps, new toilet, new vanity unit cabinet with large sink basin etc), Living Room/Diner, Back Garden & Shed where you can store your bicycles if required). The last 2 photos are of the Kitchen/Diner area, where I hosted a farewell dinner party for one of my housemates from India, who sadly had to return. All those other people in the photos were guests and do not actually live in the household Free car parking space is also available. I am a huge movie fanatic, as you can see in one of the pictures of my DVD collection and you are welcome to watch. I have movies from horror, comedy, action, sci-fi, anime, and manga and some are Korean, Japanese, French, Spanish, Italian, and Bollywood movies plus of of course Hollywood movies.😁 The property is 5-7 minutes walk to Laindon Train Station (Mainline C2C train service), which takes 35 minutes to commute into London Fenchurch Street/Tower Hill and 45 minutes to London Liverpool Street. The C2C service is a 10-minute journey to Upminster in Zone 6 with access to the District Line. There is also a mainline train service connection to Romford from Upminster, which takes 8 minutes. The C2C from Laindon is 20 20-minute journey to Barking in Zone 4 with access to London Overground to Gospel Oak and a 35-minute journey to Zone 1 Central London. From Laindon Train Stn also there is 32 minutes commute to London Canary Wharf. Also for those driving it takes 15-20 minutes from my place to Brentwood, Billericay. Travel from Laindon to Stratford in around 30 minutes. I work in Central London in the Chancery Lane/Holborn area and can provide fast traveling routes from my place to commuting into London after some years of experimenting with travel into London 😀 The property is situated very close distance to Lidl & Tesco Supermarket in Laindon, Basildon Town Shopping Centre, Basildon Hospital, Southfields Ind Estate, Pipps Hill, Gloucester Park, Ford Dunton Technical Centre, Bosch, AVL Powertrain, IFDS, Yazaki, CPT, VRCC, DB Schenker, CNH (New Holland), Continental Automotive Trading Ltd. Excellent transport facilities including Trains, Buses, and Ubers/Taxis. Also easy access to A127 /M25. 20 minutes drive to Grays & Lakeside Shopping Centre. Less than 10 minutes drive to a Leisure & Entertainment Complex, includes, Cineworld Cinema, Hollywood Bowls, Indoor Golf, Health/Fitness Gyms, and various Restaurants & Bars including a Sports Bar and Night Clubs. You also have 20-25 mins walk to 3 local gyms from the property. The rent includes All Bills (Gas, Electric, Council Tax, Water, Virgin Media (equivalent to Sky), TV Licence, Virgin & Asus high-speed Wireless Broadband throughout the property, and occasional homemade meals. Please be warned I do end up cooking a lot of different cultural experimental cuisines and end up using my housemates as guinea pigs - so far not poisoned anyone as yet😋. (Able to cook, American, British, French, German, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Moroccan, Mexican, and Japanese cuisines and make up my own specialties with ingredients left in the fridge to use). I also make work lunches (sandwiches or homemade food) and am happy to offer you also free of charge of course if enough food to go around (Mon-Fri). It definitely helps to save those extra expenses during the week that the supermarkets/cafes etc cost. 😁 I am also open to cooking together and experimenting with different cuisines and laughing off our failed attempts, although hopefully there will not be many failures of our experimental cooking. 😁 Would suit a working professional who has a good sense of humor, easy to get on within a houseshare, and clean, tidy, respectful person is essential. Someone who wants to feel at home and be part of the household not just be stuck in their room 24/7, although privacy/space is respected. We also engage in going out for social events when we can, for example, cinema nights to Basildon Cineworld Cinema, Hollywood Bowling, Horse-Riding, Restaurants, Theatre, beach/seaside activities outside of Essex (Bournemouth, Devon, Cornwall, Oxford, Cambridge etc) woodland, nature reserve, festivals/exhibitions/sports events/tv shows/concerts in London, etc, so if you like to be part of that more than welcome 😀 I strongly believe in creating a harmonious living environment, where my housemates feel at home and comfortable without unnecessary drama. 😁😊😉 If you have successfully survived reading this advert then please feel free to get in touch 🤭
