🌿 Bright Light & Village Life — Wandsworth Common

I moved here from Amsterdam 2 years ago and joined Emily, who'd already been living in this gem for 6 years. Then she went and bought her own place in the neighborhood 🏡✨ (I'm only slightly jealous)

Now looking for someone friendly to share this lovely maisonette with.

YOUR ROOM
--------------
- Big double bedroom • Fully unfurnished • Tons of natural light 🌞
- Bring your bed, furniture & make it yours ✨
- Warning: Sunday mornings by the Common are dangerously pleasant ☕

THE SPACE
--------------
- Huge living room 🛋️
- Proper kitchen for real cooking 🍳
- 1Gbps Wi-Fi + standing desk 💻 (actually tested, not "up to" speeds)
- Sainsbury's literally downstairs (10pm emergencies sorted)
- Wandsworth Common right across the street 🌿
- Windows everywhere — super wide & large, flooding the place with light

All essentials included: washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, fridge, oven, microwave, coffee machine, kettle, hoover, iron, cutlery.

Living room has the essentials (sofa, desk) — just needs your touch: photos, plants, decorations, shoe rack, mirror 🌱

LOCATION
--------------
Bellevue Road — the village high street with Chez Bruce (Michelin star!), Flotsam & Jetsam, Brinkley's Kitchen, and loads of independent shops & cafés ☕

- Wandsworth Common station: 5 min walk → Victoria in 10 min 🚇
- Clapham Junction nearby
- Gatwick 30 min ✈️

Gorgeous, safe area. The most dramatic thing I've witnessed? Two dogs having a disagreement in the park — they apologized to each other after 🐕😄

The Common is perfect for morning runs, yoga classes, tennis, Sunday walks, or just sitting with a coffee and a book 📰

Bills: £178.80
