Single room available, High Brooms.

I'm looking for a professional lodger as mine is moving away. The room is available from Monday 23rd November.

It's a 4-bed home with only one resident (me), on-street parking, 5 mins walk from High Brooms Station which is 40 minutes into London Bridge (or on to Charing Cross). There are shops within a two minute walk including a nice cafe, various takeaways, a co-operative convenience store and two local shops that sell a great variety of fresh meat and veg. The industrial estate with Aldi/ASDA/M&S is 2 miles away. Tunbridge Wells hospital is 3 miles away.

The property does not have a driveway but parking is free on street.

There is a small garden, a garage with a work bench and plenty of storage room (but not for a car).

The room available is a single room, ideal for a commuter. It contains a bed, wardrobe, a small shelving unit and a side table. There is also a hallway outside of the room with a clothing rail for the lodger's use.

There is a living room that I only use about 5 days a month, and not at all during the working day. It has a lot of space and is used exclusively by my current lodger outside of those few days, an arrangement I am happy to continue. It could accommodate an office setup, making it ideal for an office for a hybrid worker.

The ground floor (living room, dining room, kitchen, garden, garage etc) plus the bathroom on the first floor are communal rooms. A cleaner attends once a fortnight to keep those communal spaces clean, the cost of which is included in the rent.

The bathroom is shared, and contains a large bath with a shower over it. Water pressure is reasonably good.

The kitchen is well-equipped and I expect to share my cutlery and crockery with the new lodger as I do with my current lodger.

Note that the desk pictured in the dining room will be moved out of the room before you move in, into a non-communal space.

I have a second spare room which fits a double bed and not much else, which is kept for guests. My current lodger is able to use this room for occasional visiting guests (family, friends etc) and I am happy to continue that arrangement.

I'm 42 and a normal, professional, sensible guy. I am looking primarily for someone easy to live with. I like a quiet, tidy house.


Applicants must provide proof of Right to Rent in the UK, as well as proof of current employment, in addition to a reference from either a previous landlord or their employer. A written agreement will be put in place covering terms, and a deposit of a month's rent will be needed.

A video call prior to viewing is required. My current lodger moves out/away on 15th November so if you register your interest before then, I can arrange a brief chat with him too if you would like.
