Big double, ensuite, desk,friendly happy flatmates

Newly refurbished, gorgeous double room with far reaching views out over the skyline of London, with a desk and en-suite bathroom in a huge flat with big sitting room and separate, eat-in kitchen.

This is us 👋
- Martine, Italian, works for a company that provides language courses. She adores London (who doesn't?!) and enjoys cooking.
- Niki, an irrepressibly cheerful Hungarian who is super busy as a buyer for a supercar maker - we love seeing her when she has a second at home!
- Lee and me......

Lee & I are English and have spent most of the last few years living, and travelling around Europe on our old boat, but otherwise we have always flat shared. This means we're very aware of what sharing is all about, and have positively chosen to remodel this flat (which we've had since 2010) for comfortable, friendly co-living - a way of life that we utterly believe in.

We are all outgoing, sociable people who like company and doing lots of things in this amazing city. Both Martine and I cook a lot, and love having food and laughs around the dinner table.

Who are we looking for? 🔎
We're looking for a sociable, happy, high-energy, tidy grown-up who wants to live in a home rather than an hotel. If you can cook, then you get extra points, if you think that London is an incredible city that's worth exploring, then double points. However, if you prefer to close your door to the world and live life online then this isn't the place for you. If you want a party house then this also isn't the place for you. This is absolutely a flat for non-smokers or vapers.

This is our home🏠
Your room is a great size (4m x 3m) with lots of storage in great big, well fitted out wardrobes which have 2m of hanging space and lots of drawers. Your ensuite has a big shower, along with a toilet, basin and more storage. There's a comfy double bed, a desk for you WFH-ers which has wired gigabit ethernet access as well as wifi. We're at the top of Lavender Hill, so there's a view out of your window of the skyline of London which gives a lovely feeling of airiness and space and light.

We've also got a brilliant roof terrace. It's a perfect space to sit and read, see the sun over the city, bird watch, and for you gardeners, I've got tubs!

The big kitchen and the sitting room will be shared by 3 flatmates (you included), and then my partner Lee and I live somewhat separately at the top of the house with our own space. We are not "separate" just a little "separated" if you see what I mean!

The flat has a really homely feel with colour on the walls and lots of space. To help make your home life complete there's a big eat-in kitchen with good quality appliances (incl. dishwasher, microwave, Neff oven and Miele gas hob, washing machine and tumble dryer), as well as a large dining table. The sitting room is huge (8m x 5m), with what I think you’ll find to be the most comfortable, alluring sofas for movie nights. There's Virgin TV and the best diamante studded moose head in Clapham! The rest of the flat consists of three double, ensuite bedrooms, a guest toilet and a spare room which has another double bed and extra WFH space.

Where we are📍
Lavender Hill enjoys the benefits of good bus routes, Santander bikes opposite the flat and a safe, well-lit walk home. The flat itself is quiet (especially your room which is at the back of the house), and the buildings round about are residential. The flat is a 10 minute walk from Clapham Junction station, a transport hub for lots of day and night bus routes, trains and London Overground services to the City and north London. The tube is 15 minutes’ walk, or by bus from the stop a minute from the flat. The walk to the train station will take you past a huge 2-storey ASDA, Wholefoods, and lots of cafes (Il Molino, which is opposite, is the current house favourite), restaurants and shops. The famous Northcote Road is also a few minutes’ walk away with loads more bars and restaurants. There are several gyms nearby (including the brand new, super posh Third Space), and Clapham Common is a four minute jog away for those of you who are enthusiastic runners,

Thanks for reading to the bottom! Your first contact will be with me, and then I'll pass you over to Martine and Marjan (whose room you are seeing) to organise a meet up at the flat (Niki is in the USA until early October). I hope to hear from you soon, now that you know all about the flat. Do get in touch with any queries or to say hello.
