Room to let short term- get whole flat to yourself

My beautiful double room is available to rent from January 2026 until mid May 2026. I only stay at the flat 1 or 2 nights a month (sometimes I don't make it down for weeks on end) so you'll have the place to yourself most of the time.

I’m looking for a flatmate who would enjoy the freedom of having a flat to themselves and who would take good care of it while I’m not there. It's a perfect opportunity for those who want to spend a little more in order to live on their own for the most part and to have a spare room to have friends and family visit (happy for people to stay in my room when I'm not there).

The room is available from now until May, though it might be available for longer depending on my plans (I can confirm by April 2026). If you need a short-term rental just for a couple of months do get in touch as I may be able to accommodate that (a flat fee of £1990 a month applies for 1-3 months rentals).

Bit more info on me and the flat:

The whole flat is lovely and bright (triple aspect) - there is a modern kitchen, large living/dining room and bathroom, all of which have natural light. There's also a balcony so a bit of outdoor space.

Your room is a spacious and bright double, which is fully furnished with plenty of storage. The flat is one of only 9 in the building - all of which are privately owned.

BILLS: Bills average around £450 per month, depending on your energy usage. This includes Virgin TV and broadband (fibre, 108mb average download speed), gas, electric, water, council tax (band C) and service fee. Bills will be divided between us based on the number of nights I’m at the flat (as I only stay 1 or 2 nights, this usually averages around £420-450 a month for you, depending on your energy usage).

The flat is an equal distance (12 minutes walk) to both Forest Hill and Sydenham, where you'll find a great selection of pubs, restaurants and shops.

Forest Hill has great transport links with both the overground and national rail nearby. You can be in Canary Wharf and London Bridge in less than 20 minutes and trains are frequent. It's also one of the very few areas in London which has free street parking right outside the flat.

I’d prefer a professional female who is tidy and will look after it as though it’s their own. Smoking is strictly prohibited in the flat, on the balcony or in the outdoor spaces

A bit about me - I'm very friendly, have lived in several shared houses over the years and always had a great relationship with my flatmates. I love a chat when I’m home, though I'm often out and about when I'm in London, so I'm rarely in the actual flat when I do stay.
