SE London flat with a gorgeous dog!

Why hello there!

I am looking for a new flatmate! Aside from myself, there is one other tenant who works as a physio, so we both work regular working hours away from home Mon-Fri. He is very nice, tidy and keeps himself to himself generally but we are good friends and catch up daily. We are both around 30 so someone of a similar age would be nice but is not essential.

I cover the bills/service charges/council tax etc and so am not asking for additional bills unless there is noticeable overuse.

I have a gorgeous miniature poodle who is now just over a year and a half. Like many puppies, he is fun, bubbly and sweet but is on occasional neighbourhood watch from the lounge window. He does not need to go into the rented rooms unless wanted (and safe!) I have a dog walker who assists me when I’m at work, but we would be lucky to find someone who loves dogs so this would be a big plus - he’d love someone new to play with on occasion! For regular help I’d discount the rent slightly if the arrangement was workable, subject to testing it out a couple of times, but there is no expectation.

The bedroom isn’t large but has a double bed, which has some storage space underneath, as well as a desk with drawers, some more drawers, and a clothes rail. I’m happy for you to move furniture around and decorate in there so you’re happy with it! More updated photos pending in due course as the current ones are dated.

You’d be able to enjoy the communal areas too, which include a lovely large kitchen with everything you could need (air fryer, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier) and a lounge with a dining table and I’m replacing the TV in there after the summer. There is also a small balcony too - I ask no cigarettes are smoked inside the flat.

We are on a high street with a Lidl 2 minutes walk away as well as lots of little shops and food places, with a micropub, post office and bus stop just across the road with the 161, 126 and 124 stopping every few minutes. A petrol station under a minute away and parking easy to get here. What I love about living here is it’s easy to get into Central London, with a 12 min easy flat walk to Mottingham Station, but also a short drive into the pretty countryside in Kent!

A bit more about me! I rented as a tenant since moving to London to uni at 18 so I am used to living with strangers, with great friends and also strangers that have become great friends too! I have owned this flat for a few years and live in the other bedroom. I work out of the flat Monday to Friday with only one day a week working from home, and go out to see friends usually once or twice a weekend (the dog comes with me when possible!)

I am not your standard live in landlady as I am fun loving and quite relaxed as long as everyone is happy and comfortable and the flat is secure and in a clean enough state. Interests of mine include music, comedy, human rights and social justice issues, festivals, cooking and travelling. I grew up in Spain but am from the UK. I don’t need my housemate to spend time with me, but would be open to it and would be very open to flat meals and movie nights. I am a sociable, friendly and tolerant individual. This is an LGBT+ friendly and anti-racist flat.

Please get in touch to arrange a viewing if this could suit you! Any questions please just ask.

I am away from the end of August to the 20th September so the room is only available sometime after that. I’d struggle with viewings during my travels but could do before 29 Aug or on/after 21st Sept - virtual viewings also. Ideally I’d like it filled by October. If you could be a great fit don’t hesitate to get in touch to arrange a viewing as we can discuss should you be a good fit!
