Description
Hi there,
I'm looking to share my home with a tidy, pleasant professional. Thanks for reading.
As stated, I have this lovely, large, sunny, double room to let, coming available from Oct 2025.
Preferably looking for a longer term let, i. e. at least 6 to 12 months at a time...
The whole interior of the house is kept refurbished & clean. Recently had new carpets, new beds, new furniture & desks etc.
Your room is bright and spacious (warm in the winter) with lots of light & a large, double glazed window overlooking the rear garden. You have a double bed (fresh duvet and bedding supplied), two wardrobes, & a desk with drawers.
The recently decorated WC/bath/shower is shared, along with a nice, clean, bright kitchen/breakfast room and a large welcoming lounge/living room.
It's a large(ish) 4 bed semi-detached house with a comfy reception room and a south-facing garden - which is a constant suntrap and great for barbecues in the summer.
There's also a 3-car driveway, with space for off-road parking (in an otherwise parking-challenged area, being just off the High Street).
Living here, are only 2 other flatmates (occasionally 3 when I'm in town): Currently S (female, late 30s) - an admin professional who works from home, & M (male, late 40s) - radio programmer/technician who works in C. London & all over the country.
I'm a professional musician (51), but atm, I'm literally out of town or abroad on contract all the time.
We're just off Orpington High Street and literally around the corner from virtually every shop or convenience you could possibly want, including Sainsbury's (opposite), 24 hr Tesco extra (moments walk away), and a wide selection of new, trendy restaurants and bars up & down the High Street.
Oh, and a very good gym is just over the street as well, along with Orpington College, the Odeon cinema, local health center and swimming pool.
We're only 12 minutes walk away from Orpington train station, a main stop on the Southeastern line with regular express trains directly to Victoria, London Bridge (15 -18 mins) and Charing Cross - Or south to Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, Hastings and Dover. If you get caught in London after the trains have stopped at night there's a night bus from Trafalgar sq. straight to the High Street, which is almost right past our front door.
As a contract musician (& lately other business around the country), I drop in from time to time on flying visits every few weeks/months to pick up mail & fix or refurbish things.
This vacancy is offered to a single, non-smoking professional. Ideally, you are relaxed and sociable, with a proverbial day job.
Working from home is now more of a thing. So we upgraded the all the desks. Making a nice, homey, spacious environment for both work and relaxation.
I accept a month's rent in advance and one month's rent as deposit. All bills and c. tax are covered, including 24hr, unlimited, 100mbps, fibre, wireless broadband and a bi-weekly cleaner.
You may appreciate that this is not a wild party house but rather a home... Very friendly and casual but where tranquility is a good thing.
Finally, please take note that this is zone-6 (outer London)... Please check the map so there's no confusion about that.
If you've read this and think it works well for you please message me... Maybe write a little about yourself. Thank you.
David
