Quiet double room, good connections to Old St

You will be renting a quiet, freshly decorated double bedroom on the first floor of our Victorian maisonette, overlooking the back garden. The family bathroom is almost all yours: we’re only in London a couple of days a month. You’ll be sharing with 1 other person, who have their own ensuite bathroom on the upper floor (see separate advert Ref 2395206). Please note: no couples.

Some bills included: council tax, water and WiFi. Gas/electricity shared equally between 2 rooms (currently about £80-120 per person).

We (Simon and Julie) now live in Europe and occasionally need to spend a few days in London for work. There’s one other bedroom (ensuite) which is also available for rent from April 1st upstairs (see separate advert).

You have full use of our comfy lounge, roomy kitchen with dishwasher and washer/dryer, and private garden with barbecue.

About us

We are a 47-yo couple with our own publishing business. We have moved to Europe and will only be using our bedroom a few days a month, or might let family stay once a year in our bedroom and lounge. We are all into running / outdoors sports. While the house is not a party house anymore, we enjoy having people around from time to time and you are welcome to invite your friends, too (there’s a small sofa bed in the lounge).

Strictly non-smokers please.

Please get in touch if you'd like to come and view the room and meet us, and let us know if you have any question. Looking forward to meeting you!
