Double room in sociable Clapham flatshare

Hi all, we're hoping to find a new flatmate in our 3-bed Clapham flat to replace our old flatmate who is moving in with his Significant Other in mid July.

A bit about us first – I’m James, I'm 30, originally from North Wales but have been in London for over 8 years now and have lived in the flat for 3 years. I work as the Head of Canada Research for a legal rankings directory, and tend to split my time working from home/the office about 50/50. My main interests are football (playing and watching), rugby (watching and playing (the touch version)), squash, chilling out at home in front of the TV or going for drinks around London.

I live with Ben, a 27 year old software developer who works for the NHS and moved to London 3 years ago from Liverpool. Outside of work he play's football, goes running and cycles - anything outdoors really. He's also a big football fan and loves to watch it on TV / down the pub.

Ben moved in 2 years ago with Henry and now that Henry is leaving, we're just hoping to find someone who can keep the same dynamic in the flat -  while we all have our own interests and social lives, we'll regularly hang out in evenings to watch Netflix/sport, have a drink if it’s towards the weekend and generally just chill. We all do our best to keep the place reasonably clean and tidy too of course!

The room is pretty spacious - double bed, easily enough room for a desk (the one in the room at present won't be staying) and plenty of storage in two large built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is shared with Ben (my room has an ensuite) and then as well as the open plan kitchen/living room area, there are a few other storage areas dotted around the flat.

The flat is really well situated, a 5 minute walk to Clapham North station and in the other direction, a 10 minute walk to Brixton, which makes travel a doddle! Should go without saying but as a result, it has good local amenities for things such as major supermarkets, gyms, parks etc. 

The bills vary across the year but are around £100 pp pm on average. The flat is owned by Diane, a lovely landlady who is always more than accommodating should anything break. She uses a letting agent for the property, so there would likely be some fees required for things like credit check, deposit etc. It should be a 2 year contract term, with a break clause somewhere in the middle.

Both male and female applicants in our rough age bracket are more than welcome, although no couples I’m afraid, and no short-term lets. We’ll look to arrange viewings on the evenings of weekdays after 19th June and possibly the weekend if required. Though the contract won't start until July 19th, the move in might be slightly flexible depending on when our old flatmate leaves.

Apologies in advance if it takes some time to respond to messages due to the high number that come through - it'd be great if you could include some details about yourself in any messages.

Look forward to hearing from you!
