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 to Northern Ireland with his Significant Other in late October.

A bit about us first – I’m James, I'm 32, originally from North Wales but have been in London for over 9 years now and have lived in the flat for 4 years. I work as the Director of 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 Matt, who is 27 years old, from Coventry and works as an underwriter in the city. Outside of work he likes watching and playing football, playing tennis, running, reading and enjoying a Guinness down the pub.

Matt moved in back in November to join Sam and I, and now that Sam is moving out, 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 or weekends to watch Netflix/sport, or just otherwise chill. We’ve all ended up playing for the same 5-a-side team (not a requirement for the new flatmate!) and 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 and plenty of storage with two large built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is shared with Matt (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 minimal fees required for things like credit check, deposit etc. It will likely be a 2 year contract term, with a break clause after something like 6 months.

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 at some point over the next few weeks/weekends, depending on our availability. The contract would likely begin 19th October, although specifics can be hashed out with Sam and the Landlady once we've found Sam's replacement.

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!
