Bright Double Room with own Ensuite Bathroom

Bright Double Room with own Ensuite Bathroom – 8mins to 10mins from Streatham Common

📅 Available from 27th November 2026.

A spacious double room with its own en-suite bathroom & toilet is available in a calm 2-bed flat, just an 8–10 minute walk from Streatham Common station (direct trains to Victoria, London Bridge, Clapham Junction).

The flat will be shared with just me. I’ve lived here since 31st October 2025. I’m ideally looking for a non-smoking professional who enjoys a calm, friendly home rather than a party flat. There can be fun moments like playing music while cleaning or cooking from time to time but I value quieter evenings, particularly on weekdays. Weekends have a little more flexibility, while still being mindful of noise late at night. The room is for single occupancy only, and no pets. There’s also a small office room that can be used a couple of days a week. Please note you’d need to bring your own work desk and chair for the office room.

💴 Rent & Bills

* £875 per month currently for rent — subject to a rent review/increase when the new tenancy starts, with the exact new amount TBC. Rent is paid directly to the landlord, so you would need to set up your own standing order. The landlord can confirm the final rent amount and payment date.
* Deposit: TBC. The deposit amount and arrangements will be confirmed by the landlord once the new tenancy terms are agreed.
* Please note that the new tenancy/room arrangement will be subject to the landlord’s approval and confirmation of the tenancy terms.

* Gas and Electricity (London Power, Powered by Octopus Energy) approximately £60–£70 each per month in winter and £20–£30 each in summer, although this varies depending on usage.

👩🏽About Me

* I enjoy staying active through hiking, dancing, swimming. I also enjoy meeting family, friends and taking care of my wellbeing by doing meditation, practicing mindfulness & being in the outdoors. When my budget allows, I love travelling, and at home you’ll usually find me cooking, watching films/TV, relaxing or doing some life admin — I know, adulting! 😅 I’m a non-smoker and enjoy the occasional drink when I’m out or a glass of wine at home.

* Work/schedule: QAE Administrator, hybrid, 9am–5pm. In the office roughly 5–6 days a month on average, though some weeks that’s zero and I’m working from home 5 days. It can vary week by week as there’s flexibility with my company.

Who I’m Looking For

Who I’d like to live with: I’d love to share the space with someone who is friendly, warm, responsible, trustworthy, respectful, independent and who values a healthy balance between connection & personal space. I’d like us to be more than polite strangers, somewhere in between feels right — whether that’s the occasional catch-up, cooking/eating together when our timing lines up, watching a film/TV together or giving each other greetings in passing. I think it’s nice to have some warmth and friendliness at home while still respecting each other’s downtime and privacy.

A few things that matter to me:

* Communication — open communication about household matters, a heads-up about guests staying overnight or longer, and general consideration for each other’s routines, work schedules and alone time
* Flat issues - If something goes wrong in the flat, I’d love for us to give each other the heads-up and both feel comfortable using initiative to contact the landlord directly. Even though I’m the lead tenant, I don’t expect everything to fall on me so keeping each other posted works well.
* Shared spaces — I like to tidy as I go and keep communal areas reasonably less cluttered, so I’d love a flatmate with a similarly collaborative and considerate approach
* Household chores — happy to split or take turns on the bigger tasks (bins, hoovering, cleaning shared areas) so it doesn’t fall on one person. It’ll also be appreciated to take responsibility for our own personal chores like washing the dishes for example.
* Shared household items — happy to take turns picking up communal essentials such as washing-up liquid, cleaning products and bin bags when they run out. We can keep track of what we each spend and settle up periodically so it stays fair and simple.
* Guests: For me, it’s less about occasional visits and more about avoiding frequent guests to keep the flat feeling calm and comfortable day to day. A quick visit (e. g. someone popping by for half an hour) doesn’t need a heads-up. For overnight guests or longer visits, I’d appreciate a heads-up, as it’s a two-person household and having someone else staying over naturally changes the feel of the space. If you have a partner, I’m happy for them to stay occasionally, including over weekends. I think it works well when couples split their time between both homes, so everyone can enjoy their own space too. I’ll offer you the same courtesy with my guests or a future partner. It’s also important to me that guests are considerate of the shared space and that we each take responsibility for our own guests.
* Borrowing things — always good to check first rather than help yourself, even for small stuff like kitchen items, especially with our own personal things- though this may vary depending on how much each of us brings and what ends up being shared. If we do borrow something, it’d be great to clean it up after and to replace it if it gets broken.

If you feel like we’d be a good match, or you’re interested in viewing the flat & room, please feel free to message me. I’d be happy to have a chat and arrange a viewing 😊
