You can alternatively take a 15-20 minutes walk through the woods to Abbey Wood station which is really lovely and something I do often when not in a rush/if its dry. Belvedere mainline station is roughly a 7 minute walk from the house which connects to Abbey wood as well

Non-smoker is essential

SHORT TERM
I’m fairly flexible with stay time so just let me know your dates, a bit about yourself and what you’ll be up to in London. I can tell you if that works for me/if the room will be available


LONG TERM
The house is my home so I’m looking for someone whos a really good fit with me. I’d prefer someone who’s creative or has interests in the artsy things and because of my location next to the woods i’d also like to live with someone who would appreciate nature as much as I do. I’d also be looking for someone who doesn’t mind feeding my toads/changing their water (and also watering the garden/houseplants) if I go away for a few days.
I have a photo studio/lighting set up here that you’d be welcome to use and both living rooms are south facing so have really beautiful lighting during the day
I have a large garden so i’m also happy to let you have you own bit to grow stuff if you’re into gardening.

PETS
I love cats but i’m fairly allergic to them and my toads have an open top enclose. I’m open to dogs but this would be on an individual basis. Other pets that have enclosures are fine


THE HOUSE
3 story victorian terrace with a super lush garden. 2 living rooms, 2 bathrooms and It’s just me here so it feels fairly spacious. It backs onto allotments so we can try to befriend the allotment people for surplus produce and bake cute cakes. I will be doing re-decorating and jazzing the place up over time


THE ROOM
Currently furnished with a single bed, side draws, clothes rail + chair, side table & lamp. I will be looking to add more storage to the room/make it fancier and there is room for a larger bed. The room overlooks the garden


LOCATION
My house is about a 4-5 minute bus ride to Abbey Wood station or a 15-20 minute walk through the woods (super idyllic). Belvedere mainline station is roughly a 7 minute walk away. The Elizabeth line is an absolute godsend so getting into central is really easy and fast. (Check: Abbey wood station to another central station on maps/journey planner)

The area: The woods are amazing + you can get tea for £1 at the little cafe!, living here is the perfect balance between nature and the city. I can easily cycle from the house along the river as well. The area is really quite and I feel safe walking back home late at night

There is a big Sainsbury’s next to abbey wood station and an Asda next to Belvedere station.

ME
I collect vintage things and old curiosities and own a vintage shop which means the house has a fair amount of antique furniture. Most of the time I will be either pottering in the garden or at the woods (cliche introvert hobbies)
I enjoy fashion, photography, artsy stuff, baking tasty treats and learning about my pet toads weird little ways
I attend various creative/performance events throughout the year and do attend kink events from time to time

ABOUT YOU
I’m looking for someone who is tidy and respects the space, easy going, and friendly. I’m not keen on full time WFH but I will treat each job individually - for my i’d say, if the job involves a lot of work zoom meetings during the day, everyday, then this probably won’t work for me. I currently don’t have Wifi as it’s not essential to my work so i’ve been hot spotting instead just to save myself on some extra bills.

Please send messages with a little more about yourself and what sort of stay time you’re looking for
