I would be snatching their arm off taking it at that price, where I live that's about half what you would expect to pay for a two bedroom place.
After rent it is going to leave you 920 a month to cover bills and living which should be plenty unless you lead a really expensive lifestyle and if it is tight you could always rent the second room out for �50 a week including bills and get a large chunk of your rent paid by somebody else that way

i'm 55 yrs old and whan i was young in my 20s people used to say allow 25% of your earnings to pay for your accomodation ..at the time i thought that was too much but if you can get away with paying that nowadays it is as cheap as chips.. you would pay that in a council house if you could actually get one.."dont look a gift horse in the mouth" take it whilst you still can..
i have about the same income and a mortgage of �650 a month! You will manage definetly with money to spare you will probably need to open a saving account! Excluding my mortgage my bills come to about �350/400 max thats including council tax and food aswell. Go for it people survive on much much less good luck.
