Bright & spacious garden bedroom in friendly house

I have a lovely double room with lots of natural light let in through the French doors that open into the long back garden. The floors are restored pine, mostly original.

All bills except energy are included. We share that monthly according the cost of what's been used that month.

I often have graduate students here, as it's fairly easy to reach both Greenwich and Goldsmiths university, and not bad for King's at Denmark Hill either.

It's a nice old house that was built in 1904. The rooms are very nicely proportioned, with high ceilings and lots of daylight in all of them. It's on a tree-lined residential street in an area with lots of families.

The rent for a couple the rent would be £150 a month more.

Transport links to central London (below) are good, especially if you don't mind a bit of walking.

There's a lounge for us all to share, with a wood burning stove, and a long back garden surrounded hedges and trees with a seating area that's great for BBQs.

It would be ok to have a very well behaved dog in the garden bedroom, (as it is on the ground floor with doors to the garden), but not cats, as I'm allergic to them.

There are lots of really nice parks nearby, including Beckenham Place Park with wild swimming, cafes and bars (one of which sells my honey when I have enough to sell).

Shared space and home

We often share a meal and the purchase of common food items, the laundry detergents and loo rolls etc., but that's as you wish.

I like to keep the air in the house fresh and free of smells such as vapes, incense, and scented products such as perfumes, detergents, aftershave etc.

We share the chores, and keep a lived-in clean house. The loo needs to be kept spotless.

Amenities

The house has a washing machine, super fast 350MB fibre-to-the-house broadband, a central vacuum cleaner system, and a long outdoor clothes line in the back garden.
There is a wood burning stove in the lounge.

Transport links

The area is very well served by frequent overground trains into central London and beyond, and the nearest bus stop is only 4 mins walk away (on a parallel street, so no bus noise in the house).

Trains

Bellingham is about a 15 minute walk, and Catford and Hither Green both take about 25 mins.

Fast train times from:

Hither Green to:
London Bridge 10 minutes,
Waterloo East 16, and
Charing Cross 23.

Catford Bridge to:
London Bridge 11 minutes, and
Charing Cross 19.

Bellingham Thameslink: to
St Pancras & King's Cross takes 35 minutes.

Buses

The nearest stop is for the 124 to Catford and is about a four minute walk.
There are stops with a lot more buses about eight mins further on.

Cycling

Cycling makes getting around town really easy, especially if you take the train too. There are lots of low traffic routes available now.

A gentle cycle to Westminster takes about an hour. You can do it on main roads in about 40 mins if you want to, but for me the quieter route feels quicker as it's also relaxing.
