10-15 min walk from Clapham Junction and common

Bright furnished room in a calm two-bedroom maisonette close to Clapham Common.

This location comes with all the amenities you could need. Clapham Common is across the road, the nearest shop is a few doors down and you can walk to Clapham Common tube station (Northern Line) and Clapham Junction (National Rail and London Overground) within 10-15 minutes.

The room is on the ground floor and comes furnished with a single bed that pulls out into a double, high ceilings, clothing rail, TV unit and under-bed storage. It would suit someone who wants a comfortable London base rather than a big flat-share. It comes with a private shower and sink which is included in your rent.

The house is shared with Alex and Jake, a married couple in their late 30s. We use the home as both a living space and a flexible workspace, mostly around the kitchen-dining area. Our work can include design, writing, research, technical projects and learning new systems, so the downstairs setup may shift from time to time. We keep the home clean and practical, and we are happy to agree sensible boundaries so the space works well for everyone.

The ideal housemate would be a focused, independent professional with a steady weekday routine and their own life outside the house. The room is available seven days a week, but the home would especially suit someone who works from the office several days a week, keeps active, and wants a calm London base rather than a live/work setup. Occasional working from home is fine but this room is not suited to someone who works from home full-time.

The main thing is being clean, grounded, respectful of shared space, and comfortable living in an owner-occupied home with an established couple.

This is not a party house, but it is friendly, warm and conversational when people are around. It would suit someone independent, considerate and easy to live with.

The home has a shared kitchen-dining area with dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a regular cleaner.

Water, internet and council tax are included. There is a fixed monthly household contribution of £150 covering electricity/gas and the cleaner, who cleans the whole property.

Viewings will be arranged with people who seem like a good fit for the home.
