🏡 Double room in a houseshare in Kennington SE17

🏡 Double room in a friendly, professional houseshare in Kennington SE17

A lovely Australian couple have decided to move back home, and the room, so we're looking for a friendly, easy-going professional (or couple) to take a lovely double room in our calm home right in the heart of Kennington.

📅 Available from 23rd September (can't be earlier), we'll aim to schedule viewings between 10th to 14th August.

🛏 The Room
Bright double with lovely natural light
Comfortable, private space, perfect if you occasionally work from home
Room is furnished: comes with the bed, wardrobe, and the desk.
Move-in ready from 23rd September (can't be earlier)

🏠 The House
Great shared kitchen for cooking and hanging out
Comfy shared living room to relax and unwind
Lovely shared garden, ideal for morning coffee or summer evenings
One bathroom + a separate toilet
We keep things tidy and respectful, this is a home, not a party house

👥 Your Housemates
Klaus: works in change management, into board games, running and cycling. Mostly office-based, and when working from home keeps to their own room.

We each have our own lives and give each other space, but we're warm, considerate, and happy to share a meal or a chat. We'd love someone with a similar vibe.
