Big House in Balham with cute dog!

We're looking for a new housemate for a spacious, south-facing double room in our 4 bed Victorian-style house between Balham and Clapham South station.

The house is situated just 7 mins walk from Balham station, where there is both the underground and overground train. We also have a bus stop at the end of our street, with very regular busses. The house is just off Balham High Street, full of shops, bars, restaurants, a large Sainburys, Aldi and Waitrose. Not to mention lots of great brunch spots, including Milk and Brickwood, which are just a five minute walk away.

The room for rent is situated in on the first floor at the back, so nice and quiet as it’s away from the road. The house is fully furnished, but the room is unfurnished.

The house is set across 3 floors and also has a basement, so space is not an issue (almost too much space!). Downstairs has a lounge room, huge kitchen-diner, toilet, office and back laundry area leading into a big garden. The kitchen is the hub of the house - it has a large island in the middle, dining table, two fridge-freezers and plenty of storage space.

The first floor has three bedrooms (where this room is situated), a large storage cupboard, and a bathroom with a freestanding roll top bath and powerful, stand alone shower. The second floor consists of a bedroom en-suite in which Alex and Clare live.

We are looking a young professional (aged 29-35) who enjoys being sociable, exercising, and wants to spend time together as a house - we all look after each other, are respectful of how we each want to live and keep a lovely clean house!

As the garden is big we all spend time together keeping it nice and usable. Joining you are my amazing housemates Alice (30 - social media manager), Alex and Clare (couple - both 32) and David (33 - coding). We all have a hybrid WFH / in office set up, and there is space for you to WFH should you want to.

We also have a small dog called Rhubarb (Cavapoochon breed) who we love to bits. She’s very cute and enjoys long walks and cuddles on the sofa. Please note, she is not allowed upstairs. She is based at home 24/7 (unless when out on walks or in the office with Alice), so we’re looking for someone who absolutely loves dogs!

It’s a very sociable house, everyone gets along so well and enjoys a good laugh and a drink (whether that be a cup of tea or pint in the pub). The environment at home is a huge part of our house so we really want to ensure our new housemate fits in.
