Lovely Double Room in Bohemian Balham Flatshare

Hi,

We're taking viewings for an easy-going and friendly person to move into a lovely double room in a homely, comfortable, very spacious and friendly flatshare overlooking a garden area.

The room is available from Saturday 10th January 2026 for currently for 6 months. However, there may be the possibility of an extension. We will also consider shorter lets than this.

The flatshare will be with two other easy going and friendly people.

The Space
--------------

This flat is a lived-in, characterful home rather than a freshly styled show-flat. Many of the original details have been deliberately kept to project a sense of warmth that comes from a space that’s been genuinely used and cared for over time.

If you’re someone who appreciates authenticity, texture, and a home that feels human rather than curated, I think you’ll see the appeal straight away.

The flat rewards a creative eye — it’s calm, comfortable, and has a quietly welcoming atmosphere that photos don’t always fully capture.

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

Availability
--------------

Saturday 10th January 2026 for 2 to 6 months and potentially longer.

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.

The Rent
--------------
The rent is £900 per calendar month, including all bills.

Included in the rent 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 one of the best places 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.

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 do wish to view the room, it is important that you reply with a little bit of information about yourself, or have a full Spareroom profile of your own.

Sorry, non-smokers only.

Thanks!
