2 Bright Dbl Rooms - Mature Houseshare BILLS INCL

1 x large & 1 x small, bright, furnished double rooms in a characterful Victorian property with shared living room (many plants, original art), a beautiful sunny roof terrace garden, large kitchen/diner, nice bathroom (Bath & Walk in Shower) & separate loo.

We would like to rent the rooms to 1 woman and 1 man (sorry, not a couple!) aged 33 or older who will enjoy the following (it's a bit lengthy!)... :

[ Please note: This is a private rental - no agent involved. Agents please do not reply ]

The property is a 'purpose built' Victorian maisonette (not a 'conversion') on a nice terrace (not a block of flats) so is large, has its own entrance and stairs and is very secure and bright. It really feels like a home and is well looked after but not remotely 'sterile'. It's colourful here and there and the common/shared areas throughout are clean, bright, spacious and comfortable so you needn't feel 'boxed up' in your room as is the case in some shared houses... though your own space is of course assured. The roof terrace is great - shade canopy, table, outdoor lighting, lounging chairs and lots (and lots!) of plants - a second sunny outdoor living space during summer. Check out the photos! Great for meals or relaxing & cooling off in the evenings.

The available bedrooms both have stripped, varnished wooden flooring, wooden base bed, chest of drawers, chair, shelving, clothes rail and some high and low storage space. The rooms are both bright, the smaller at the front catching morning sun & the larger at the rear is brighter in the afternoon.


I'm Ray, a friendly live-in landlord/owner but will only be around for part of the year. I can explain more when we're in touch. I take my landlord responsibilities seriously and will see to any problems / repairs promptly.
Aiming for a quiet, friendly, independent, tidy and considerate household, all of us enjoying this place as a home with respect for one-another, the property and our neighbours. This REALLY isn't a party venue so please don't apply if you drink, smoke or club a lot as you simply won't fit in. The balance here is definitely tipped more towards the arts and a peaceful life than clubbing, the premier league and the pub! Tate membership used often; art, music, meditation & wellbeing could be keywords Strictly 2 days maximum working from home each week please.

Seems to work best in a shared home with housemates who have independent lives but are happy to share the occasional meal/social outing together & good conversation when we cross paths, without feeling we need to hang out together more than we wish.

The property and immediate area 'feel' safe and you really don't need to walk far in any direction before you're somewhere green. Some nice little wilder areas of woodland are also within striking distance... when you know where to look ;)
I hope that gives a feel for what to expect.


The practical:
ALL bills are inclusive in the rent, including council tax, energy costs, water charges and Broadband. In the living room there's a TV (not cable/satellite) with recorder & DVD player. Lots of art and plants throughout. It's an interesting, relaxing and homely place which we keep in good shape. Our Agreements will set out sensible do's & don'ts in order to keep things running smoothly. We divide the cleaning.... and actually do it!
On a 100% Green Energy tariff... but we are only 'being' green if we use energy wisely. The rent is set with this in mind.

Conveniently close we have some shops (including a local Co-op), several nice cafe's, restaurants, gastro-pubs and a gorgeous Park (Peckham Rye - a real gem). Central East Dulwich has a busy village atmosphere with many interesting shops, deli's, cafe's & bars etc and vibrant Peckham is just down the road.

The property sits about midway between Peckham Rye and Honor Oak Park railway stations. The 63, 363 (Elephant, Blackfriars/Kings Cross), 12, 312 (West End) and 197 bus routes all handy. It's a short bus ride to Peckham Rye station for trains fast to London Bridge & City (also Blackfriars & Victoria) & the Overground runs from both Peckham Rye and Honor Oak Park (a 15 min walk away). But perhaps what matters most: there is sufficient space in the hall for your b i k e !

I expect the rooms to be snapped up quickly so if you are interested then please reply with lots of info about yourself (age, work, interests, plans etc) or there's a delay whilst I ask again.

Unfortunately no couples or pets please and we would prefer people who hope to stick around for a year or two.

THANKS FOR LOOKING!
