Room in cozy garden flat

I’m renting a cozy garden flat on a Victorian terraced road and looking for a flatmate to come join me.

About the flat:

The flat is a warm, inviting garden flat on a quiet residential road just off Peckham Rye. Its highlight is a massive private garden, giving you a peaceful haven all year round. The kitchen/living room and bathroom will be shared, along with a utility room that includes a tumble dryer (especially convenient in winter!).

The bedroom that’s for rent has high ceilings, is set at the back of the house so it’s quiet, and comes with a built-in closet. I have some furniture available for the room, but if you’re bringing your own, that can definitely be accommodated.

Some of the shared-space furniture belongs to my current flatmate, so someone with a few pieces of their own (or who’s happy to furnish together) is a plus — but not essential.

Location:

Located in a quiet residential neighbourhood near the lovely green spaces of Peckham Rye, Dulwich Park, and Dulwich Woods. You’re just down the road from both Peckham and East Dulwich, giving you easy access to Peckham nightlife or Lordship Lane’s village-y vibes — the best of both worlds.

Transport links:

Peckham Rye is the nearest station (Overground, Thameslink, and National Rail). Forest Hill, Honor Oak, and East Dulwich stations are also reachable with a quick bus ride. There are plenty of bus routes nearby to get you into central London with ease.

Bills:

The listed rent excludes bills. Bills come to £150–£190 per month and include council tax, utilities, and broadband — we’ll split actuals 50/50.

About me

I’m a 37-year-old professional female, American but have been living in London for 13 years. I’ve been in this flat for the last year and a half after many years living north of the river. I’m joined by my dog Dudley, a goofy, affectionate labradoodle who will be eager to make you his new best friend.

I’m active and social but also love dinners and cozy nights at home. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and am in the office the rest of the week.

About you:

Looking for a professional aged 30–47. Must be tidy, respectful, easy-going, and absolutely must be a dog lover (Dudley won’t give you a choice). I’d love someone who’s happy to have a chat or share a meal now and then, but also content on their own.

I’m open to either a shorter or longer stay depending on what works for you — the flat is on a rolling contract, so there’s flexibility on both sides. We can chat more about our personal plans and what we’re each looking for at the viewing to make sure it’s a good fit on both sides.

If you work from home and are happy to hang with Dudley that would be a real plus (but obviously not essential).

⸻

Please message on here with some information about yourself and what you’re looking for. If it seems like it could be a good fit, we can arrange a viewing over the next week.

Looking for someone to move in the 3rd week of January.

If you’d like, I can also help you create a shorter version for the main SpareRoom listing and keep this one for messaging serious applicants.
