Double room in Sydenham

Hello,

I am looking for a housemate to move into the bungalow I rent in Sydenham, just off Kirkdale.

The rent is £850 per month and council tax is £85 (Lewisham Band D) plus other bills.

The room is a double with a west-facing window so lots of afternoon sun. There’s a double bed and lots of inbuilt storage. Currently a fridge in there too but obviously that will be moved!

My room is upstairs and the house is big enough that we’ll both have our own space. There’s a nice living room and another small room where people can stay over/we can dry laundry/there’s a desk. Kitchen and bathroom are fine if a bit scruffy - like lots of rentals it needs a bit of work doing. But generally I love the house and think it has lots of character. It can be chilly in winter.

I’ve lived here about two and half years, I rent directly from the landlord who I’ve never had any issues with. Sydenham station with overground/trains to London Bridge is a ten min walk away and it’s about a 15 min walk to Forest Hill.

House itself is on a cul de sac with allotments over the road and there’s a big private garden which is amazing in summer.

You’d be sharing with me - I am a 37 year old English teacher - and also my cat Bruce so no other pets unfortunately. Sorry! Cat lovers are a bonus.

I’m looking for someone kind who has their own life but also wouldn’t say no to some dinners/TV hangs. Partners/friends can of course stay over but no couples please. I get up pretty early for work so need the house to be relatively quiet late on week day evenings. I would prefer someone mid thirties onwards.

The rental contract with the landlord is initially til the end of June and then we can review.

Send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself and when you are looking to move. I’m looking for someone to move in asap and ideally before 21st Jan.

Thanks! Let me know if you have questions.

Rosie
