£400 RENT — PREMIUM DOUBLE ROOM IN OSTERLEY / ISLEWORTH

Penthouse living • Only one other lodger • Cinema • Bar • Spa bathroom • Excellent transport

Available from September | Professionals & full-time students | Short or long stays considered

Tired of overcrowded flatshares, shabby communal areas and paying premium London prices for very little?

This is a very different proposition.

You are renting a double room in a large three-bedroom penthouse near Osterley Park, sharing the property with only one other lodger.

The actual rent contribution for the room is just £400 per month.

To put that into context, the overall accommodation cost of the flat is approximately £1,600 per month. With only two people living in the property, a straight 50/50 split would be £800 each before bills.

Instead, this room is being offered at only £400 rent, giving you access to a much higher standard of property than you would normally expect at that price.

Shared household costs are then divided transparently, so the overall monthly outlay is around £800, depending on actual energy usage and Council Tax status.

YOUR MONTHLY COST

The current anticipated breakdown is approximately:

* Rent: £400
* Council Tax contribution: approx. £95
(qualifying full-time students may be treated differently for Council Tax purposes)
* Water: approx. £65
* Unlimited internet: approx. £25
* Gas & electricity: approx. £75
* Insurance contribution: approx. £45
* Building service charge contribution: approx. £65

This means the total monthly cost is expected to be in the region of £770–£800, depending primarily on actual utility costs.

The key point is that you are not paying £800 rent.

You are paying £400 rent, with the remainder representing your contribution towards the genuine cost of running and maintaining a substantial West London penthouse.

There are no inflated utility mark-ups. Shared costs are intended to reflect the real household expenditure.

THE ROOM

Your room is fully furnished and includes:

* Double bed
* Dressing table / desk
* Chair
* Extensive built-in storage
* Floor-to-ceiling cupboards
* Blackout curtains
* Smart-home features
* Alexa
* Automatic lighting
* Triple-glazed, sound-reducing windows
* Direct access to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom

The property is warm, exceptionally quiet and comfortable, with a modern heating and boiler system.

NOT A TYPICAL FLATSHARE

This is where the property really separates itself from most rooms advertised in West London.

You have access to a huge communal lounge and extensive entertainment and leisure facilities, including:

* Home cinema
* Large 60-inch televisions
* Sound systems
* Smart speakers
* Netflix
* Prime Video
* Thousands of Blu-rays
* Large book library
* Decorated home bar
* Spa-style bathroom
* Hot tub
* Separate shower
* Fully equipped kitchen
* Ninja cooking appliances
* Coffee machines
* Waffle maker
* Extensive kitchen equipment

There are also communal lawns, ample parking and secure building access.

The building has a brand-new lift, with further communal refurbishment planned.

THE VIEW

The penthouse occupies the top floor and has broad open views across Isleworth, Twickenham and Osterley.

You get attractive sunsets and distant views towards Richmond and Kew.

The flat benefits from triple glazing, blackout curtains and excellent sound insulation, making it unusually peaceful for London.

Neighbours are predominantly long-term residents and the property sits on a pleasant tree-lined residential road.

OSTERLEY LOCATION

The property is close to Osterley Park, one of West London’s most attractive green spaces.

You are also well positioned for Richmond, Kew, Syon Park, the Thames and Twickenham.

Transport includes:

* Approx. 10–15 minute walk to Osterley Underground Station
* Piccadilly Line
* Approx. 8 minute walk to fast rail services towards Waterloo
* Zone 4
* Excellent Heathrow access
* Straightforward access into Central London
* Easy access to Richmond and Richmond Riverside

Nearby destinations include:

Osterley Park • Syon Park • Kew Gardens • Richmond Riverside • Twickenham Riverside

The Osterley area has also been used extensively as a filming location, including major period productions.

EXCELLENT FOR WEST LONDON PROFESSIONALS

The location is particularly useful for people working around Osterley, Brentford, Chiswick, Heathrow and West London.

Major employers in the wider area include:

Sky / Comcast • GSK • Disney • Vodafone • Diageo • SEGA Europe • L’Oréal • BSI

It is particularly well suited to professionals, international workers, airline and airport staff, postgraduate students and people relocating to London who want somewhere comfortable without committing immediately to a conventional long-term tenancy.

WHO YOU WILL LIVE WITH

There is only one other lodger.

The existing occupant is extremely neat and tidy and is looking for someone who is similarly considerate.

You do not need to be obsessive, but communal areas need to remain clean, organised and pleasant.

We are looking for someone who is:

Friendly • Reliable • Respectful • Relatable • Consistently tidy

If you are fed up with chaotic house shares where nobody cleans up after themselves, this may suit you very well.

WHO CAN APPLY?

Applicants should normally be either:

* In employment with a current employment contract; or
* A full-time student

A reference will be required.

Depending on circumstances, this may be from a previous landlord, employer, university or parent/guarantor.

No couples.
No pets.

Short-term and long-term applicants are both welcome.

Minimum stay: one month.

VIEWINGS

Weekday viewing appointments are available between:

7:00 PM and 9:00 PM

Viewing slots are approximately 15 minutes.

The property is at 1 Osterley Road.

Please telephone before travelling to arrange your appointment.

Messages may not always receive a response, so calling is the preferred way to arrange a viewing.

WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT

This advert is deliberately transparent.

You are not being asked to pay £800 rent for an ordinary bedroom.

The actual room rent is £400 per month.

The balance is your contribution towards the genuine shared costs of living in a substantial, highly equipped penthouse in one of the more desirable parts of West London.

If your priority is simply finding the absolute cheapest room available, this probably isn’t the property for you.

If you want significantly more space, only one flatmate, premium communal facilities, excellent transport, quiet surroundings and a genuinely comfortable place to live, it is worth viewing.
