Calm space + en suite in sunny house

On the Clapham/Brixton border with the best of both! In zone 2 (tubes Clapham Nth, Clapham Common, Brixton) - 15 mins to Oxford circus and within 10-15 minute walking distance of 3 tube stations & the overground line. Bright modern double space with warm cream flooring & wall art from China & the S of France that really is a relaxing sanctuary from the city.

Redesigned, redecorated & refurbished, this 1st floor double room has an en suite private wetroom. Smart tv & ethernet connection, usb ports in sockets, & folding wall desk.

A wooden clothes rail has been preferred (as seen folded in the images) but happy to move in a wardrobe. Ideally looking for a female housemate as they tend to be more light footed on the wooden flooring!


Our jobs are marketing, finance, education & video games. Prefer non WFH as I like to do maintenance on the house when I’m around, but not a deal breaker.
I live on the ground floor (away a lot these days) & use a separate internal entrance & my own kitchen. We have a cleaner for shared areas ie kitchen, 1st floor toilet, corridors. She is more than happy to clean other rooms.

BILLS
Hot water and heating is controlled via Google Nest. Having a Smart Home feature can help to keep our bills lower. Room rent includes all bills except gas & electric which will be shared between 2 others (or 3 when i am there). Bills are currently under £30 pm each. Everyone contributes to a joint shop around once every 2 months for household stuff like t rolls, washing capsules, dishwasher tablets, washing sponges, cleaning products etc - around £8 -£15 every 2 months.

The space is for one person only. This is not really a party house unfortunately (!) & we are looking for someone respectful clean & tidy. I like to foster an environment that’s calm and relaxing for people with busy &/or differing schedules, though we r of course welcoming & friendly!

Wetroom
The self-contained wetroom adjoins the bedroom & has large white tiles & a newly installed tray, accented by an aqua blue Lustrolite full-length feature splashback with a white sink & mirror. A large overhead shower & heated white towel rail with heated flooring complete the space.

Kitchen
Situated on the 1st floor, a bright Sunny Kitchen/Living space
With full range of utensils, washer/dryer, dishwasher, ironing facilities, fridge, microwave, oven, glass table & chairs, toaster & kettle.

Technology
Fast & reliable fibre optic WiFi.
Hard wired Ethernet connection for laptops.
Room sockets with USB charger ports.

IMPORTANT
NOTE 1: I have a long-haired friendly, well-behaved black cat named Poppi though she tends to stay on the ground floor :)
NOTE 2: Strictly no smokers
NOTE 3: Working professionals only please

The neighbourhood
There are a huge number of great restaurants, takeaways or places to just relax. Clapham Common & Brockwell Park in walking distance.

LOCATION
Location-wise, you are right on the Clapham/Brixton border with a 10-12 minute walk to Clapham North (plus Clapham Common & Clapham South) tube on the Northern Line and similar walking distances to the Victoria (Brixton 15 mins) and the Overground lines (Clapham High Street 13 mins).

Clapham and Brixton are vibrant areas offering a thriving scene for clubbing and live music as well as a vast array of pubs, cinemas, gyms, swimming pools, supermarkets, and shops. Both are well-known for nightlife along with many other interesting local bars, pubs, clubs and Pop Brixton & Brixton Village restaurants to explore.

Clapham is renowned for its village-like atmosphere, and the restaurants on Abbeville Road are a short 12-minute walk away. Clapham Common is great for walking, cycling and hosts first class music concerts, theatre, and film shows.

You are only a 5-minute walk from the local bars and restaurants 👍
Local Shops (5 to 15 mins walk) - Sainsbury’s & Waitrose in Clapham & Tesco & Lidl on Acre Lane.
