Lovely Single Room in Balham

Hi,

We're taking viewings for an easy-going and friendly person to move into a lovely, larger than average single room available in a homely, comfortable, spacious and friendly flatshare.

The flatshare is with 2 other easy going and friendly people. One is an Italian Florist, the other a network engineer.

The flat's owner generally lives on his boat in central London but does stay at the flat from time to time when in South London,

The Room and Area
--------------
The room has stripped floorboards, and the flat has lots of storage space, a large eat-in kitchen and a large lounge.

Balham Underground (Zone 3) and Overground Station is a 7 minute walk from the flat. Clapham South (Zone 2) underground is a 10 minute walk.

Suitability
--------------

The room would suit an easy-going and friendly person in their mid 20s - late 30s who is sociable, but respects others' space.

You should also be the kind of person who likes to live in a clean environment and happy to clean up after yourself in the kitchen / bathroom etc.

Sorry, but the landlord's insurance does not cover full-time homeworkers. So you will either need to have a full-time job working outside of the home 3 or more days a week to be considered for the room. Or, be a post-graduate or full-time student.

The Rent
--------------
The rent is £780 pcm plus £20 per week for bills.

Included in the bills is council tax, internet access and all household cleaning products such as washing powder etc.

The Area
--------------
If you don't know Balham, it is has been voted by The Sunday Times as the one of the best place to live in London! This is probably because it is a very safe and nice area and a very desirable area of London. Balham has a village feeling and has a warm and friendly vibe is just 20 minutes from Central London.

If you do know Balham, you will also will totally appreciate that the rent is extremely well priced (especially with just a relatively small deposit required). This is because the landlord values getting the right person over getting the highest rent!


The Flat and Facilities
-----------------------
The flat is spacious, light and comfortable. There is is a very large lounge, eat-in kitchen, lots of storage space plus all the usual eg. washing machine, shower, broadband internet access etc.

Transport and The Location
--------------------------
The flat is exceptionally well located and it is about a 10 minute walk to Clapham South Tube station (Zone 2) and about a 5 minute walk to Balham underground (Northern Line - Zone 3) / British Rail overland (15 mins to Victoria).

It comprises the upper two floors of a Victorian house and is on one of Balham's most desirable streets on the Zone 2/3 border.

It is also less than a 5 minute walk from the N155 night bus route from central London.

The flat is secure and is just a two minute walk from Balham High Road, so is good for someone who wants to feel safe walking home late at night from work/pub etc.

Contact for Viewing
------------------------------ ----

If you want to view please send a message via Spareroom saying a little bit about yourself.

I would advise that you arrange to view ASAP because good rooms in this part of London tend to go very quickly.

Strictly non-smokers only.

Thanks!
