Very Friendly House-share: Blackheath Standard

A good size room with patio door (Room 2 on the plan). This is a really comfortable clean and friendly home. The current excellent tenants are hard-working young professionals who enjoy a well-run, tidy, non-smoking environment - they are very welcoming. The age range of the house is mid- 20s and a tenant of approximately similar age is probably the best fit. We simply look for sensible, tidy, personable housemates who will be considerate in a house share - consideration is probably the most important thing in an HMO!

The house is Edwardian, and therefore spacious. It is fully modernised and well-maintained in order fully to meet licensing standards - and so it’s high on safety. There is good shared living space - with a separate lounge/dining room and a decent garden. There is a weekly cleaning lady for communal areas and the house has very fast broadband. The room is £750 PCM; it has a nice character mantelpiece and a convenient wash hand basin.

The rent includes cleaning - with £120 from the £750 set aside each month for the variable bills which include: Council tax (Band D -£1920 pa, or £32 a month each), water, utilities, BT broadband and TV licence.

The location is highly convenient for a number of bus routes, enabling easy access to North Greenwich underground and DLR.; Westcombe Park National Rail Station is a short 5/6 minute walk away - 15 minutes to London Bridge; 20 mins Cannon Street.

The locality has a huge variety of shops - from local ones at Blackheath Standard to a large retail park on the Woolwich Road. It’s also close to Greenwich Park and all the amenities of Blackheath and Greenwich. If you like swimming, there is a fantastic all year round heated outdoor pool with excellent gym about a mile away.

If you are interested, please respond with some information about yourself - why you are moving, what you do, how old you are etc - and what you are looking for in a home. Also, for safety reasons, it is so much better for all concerned that a response has a photograph accompanying it.

For house balance another lady is probably preferred.

PS For clarification, I now help to manage the house on behalf of, and with, the owners; I previously owned the property for 30 years. (Viewings and interviews are anyway carried out by arrangement with the ongoing tenants who thereby choose who they'd like to live with and vice versa for you!)
