1-month let AUGUST -- big room on Clapham Common

The Room

Hiya, my name is Felicity and I am looking to let my lovely room in Clapham for a month from July 31st to September 2nd.

I will be be leaving all my furniture, as well as some belongings. However, there will be plenty of room for all your things. I can also provide bedding, towels and dressing gown for your stay.

The room is light and airy with a big window, has black out curtains, a comfy armchair, a VERY comfy mattress, and looks out to the garden. It's a nice quiet room at the back of the house, great for a good night's sleep!

The House

The house is located on a quiet, residential street. A Victorian terraced property, it's very spacious and never feels crowded even with 6 of us living here. You'll share a bathroom with two other people, with a bath/shower combo. And there is a second bathroom with shower upstairs if needed too.

Downstairs you will find a large living/dining room, and then a big kitchen/diner that leads into the garden. The garden is a real bonus in London and we have a little bbq and seating out there which is great in the summer.

The house has all the amenities: a shared fridge, a washing machine, a dryer, a dishwasher, TV, etc. We are lucky that it stays fairly cool in summer too, being a terraced property.

All bills are included in the month's rent, as well as our weekly cleaner, Carly.

Total rent: £1200
Upfront deposit: £850
Security deposit: £300

Deposit to secure the room is £850 up front, then the rest of the rent is due on August 14th plus the £300 security deposit. The £300 will be returned to you on September 3rd providing no damages (which I'm sure won't be needed!).

The Area

3 min walk from lots of bus routes including: 87, 37, 35, 77, 156, 345, 137 taking you to central London and nearby areas.
10-15 min walk from Clapham Junction Station (direct trains to Gatwick, Victoria, Waterloo).
15-20 min walk from Clapham Common Station (Northern Line -- the black one).
8 min walk to huge Asda, 10 min to Lidl, M&S food or Waitrose supermarkets.
4 min walk to local Co-op convenience store.

The Common (a big park) itself is right at the end of our road, amazing for sunbathing in summer, and it's a 5k round the Common so great for running. We are also a 25-min walk from Battersea Park -- one of London's best parks!

If you don't know Clapham, it's full of lots of independent bars and restaurants to try -- the housemates will be able to give recommendations for sure! You can also check out what's on at the Battersea Arts Centre round the corner, and there are lots of shops on the Northcote Road.

The Housemates

I'll be leaving you in the capable hands of my fab housemates for the month:

James & Taylah (24/25): These two Kiwis will be on summer holidays and away travelling most of the time you are here. But they are super sweet & always up for a wine or bbq when around.
Matt (27): Works for TNT sports & is a big sports and movie fan. He’s also my cousin! Amazing cook too 👌.
Ashleigh (25): Super sweet gal who loves a chat and a wine. She might be gone by the time you’re here, but she’s also Taylah’s best mate from NZ so I’m sure you’ll see her around either way!
Will (27): just got back from 9 months travelling. Incredible cook & always looking for a tennis partner.

We are a friendly house who enjoy watching the odd series together, hanging out in the kitchen, and sometimes taking a trip to the pub. It's a homely house and we look forward to welcoming you :).

Finally ... You!

If you are a clean & tidy professional, who considers themselves trustworthy & reliable(!), I'd love to hear from you about the room. Happy to set up viewings either in person or on zoom. Deposit payable in advance to secure the room. Rest of rent + security payable on July 31st. Security paid back upon my return (providing no damages).
