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 out in January for somewhere less central.

A bit about us first – I’m James, I'm 32, originally from North Wales but have been in London for almost 10 years now and have lived in the flat for 4. 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)), chilling out at home in front of the TV or going for drinks around London.

I live with Conner, who's 28 and works as a consultant in Holborn. Conner is from Kent / London originally (there is a debate about this). In his spare time, he likes to go to the gym, play football, play video games, watch TV or go for drinks.

We're 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 a good size, the double bed has underneath storage, decently-sized wardrobe, space for a desk, and a nice view looking out the back of the property onto a quiet local green space. The bathroom is shared with Conner (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. Our contract currently runs until October 2026, and the incoming flatmate will take over on that same contract – ideally the incoming person will be keen to stay a while but if anything happens, its usually straightforward to get replaced on the lease, as is the case here.

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 know December can be a tricky time of year for flat viewings, so just message with as much information about yourselves as you can, and when you might be free for a viewing, and we’ll try and get some booked in. With this in mind the start date is negotiable.

Look forward to hearing from you!
