Convenient and calm weekday room in SE8

Pleasant room available, three minutes walk from Zone 2 rail station. Newly redecorated. £850 per month, bills (gas, electricity, water, council tax, broadband, TV licence) and cleaning of communal areas included. Cleaning of rental room extra.

The room is a little over 10 square metres, with a queen-sized double bed (120cm wide), desk with storage drawers, bookshelves, mirror and a built-in cupboard with hanging space. There is a large radiator with a thermostatic valve.

The large south-facing sash window has a light-blocking roller blind, and looks out over our quiet street at the local primary school rebuilt in 2010.

The room is on the first floor of a Victorian end-of-terrace house, in the St John’s Conservation Area, Deptford, SE8, and is currently home to an active semi-retired couple and two cats.

The renter will have shared use of the bathroom / toilet and a separate toilet on the lower ground floor, the kitchen (with cupboard and fridge space) and the garden.

The transport links are very good. St John’s rail station (Zone 2) is 200 metres away, with trains to London Bridge (about 8 minutes) and London Cannon Street (about 13 minutes). Also nearby are the Elverson Road and Deptford Bridge DLR stations (10 minutes walk) and the rail stations at Deptford, New Cross, Brockley and Lewisham, which are each about 15 to 20 minutes walk away, providing access to mainline trains including the Thameslink service, as well as the Windrush overground line. Nearby bus routes include the 436, 21, 484, 53 and others.

We are looking for a mature, tidy, professional individual who will appreciate a conveniently located room in a lovely house.
