Beautiful double room in lovely home with garden!

Available beginning of August - NO AGENTS!!

ABOUT THE FLAT!

The rent for the double room is £900 plus bills, which are around £100 per month at the moment (gas, electric, council tax & broadband). Bills obviously vary with season but they've not gone much above £100/month between 4 people. Council tax is cheapest in the UK!

The flat is about 2 mins walk to Tooting station and about 10 mins walk to Tooting Broadway tube. The buses stop outside pretty much right outside the house which is useful. Lots of shops and supermarkets close so weekly shopping is easy.

YOUR ROOM!

Is a beautiful big, light (south facing) double bedroom with two enormous built-in Hammonds wardrobes with cupboards above, which are less than a year old. There's so much storage!! The dimensions of the room are roughly 2.2m x 3.2m (13'9 x 10'7) with two big south facing windows. Videos available - just shout!!

There is a very large shared bathroom downstairs with a bath too- this would only be shared with Matthew. The kitchen/diner has a 2-seater sofa, lovely pale grey table and 4 chairs, TV and chic kitchen (with small dishwasher!). We have a small snug (second reception area) upstairs which is lovely for a cosy winter evening and watching movies. We also have a lovely patio garden with furniture and flowers in the flowerbed! The loft conversion was done in 2017 when we re-carpeted, redecorated and replaced the kitchen and we replaced the boiler in 2023. New UPVC sash windows make it pretty energy efficient, retains heat well in the winter!

LITTLE BIT ABOUT US!

The flat is owned by three friends of ours, who are siblings. Two (Ella & Nils) live locally and the third (Albert) splits his time between this house and Sardinia. It's still very much still Albert's home too, so it's important that the right lodger fits with this. The three of them have all lived here and been very happy in the area over the last 14 years.

Matthew is a 32 year old opera singer working as an Office Manager for a Hedge Fund in the City (he works from the office, not home.. unless there's a lockdown!). Matthew has been here 7 years. He's chilled, lovely, fun, friendly, laid back!

Will and Kars in a double en-suite room in the loft. They are a couple and used to be dancers, but Will now works as a movement director/assistant director in opera. Kars is a freelance massage therapist. They're moving in towards the end of August and are all round excellent people. Lovely, chilled and very easy to get on with.

Albert is a 34 year old actor, trained mountaineer, climber and general outdoorsman! He splits his time between Sardinia and this house, returning to his home during school holidays to enjoy London life. He's very laidback and enjoys a mix of a slower Italian life, and the London fix when he needs it! Ella & Anthony are moving out of their room (the room for rent), so they're managing the renting out while Albert is in Sardinia.

We are chilled, very clean, tidy and house proud; enjoy cooking and creating suppers/ordering a cheeky Saturday takeaway, relaxing together as a flat, watching embarrassingly poor TV (as well as the compulsively good stuff!), sharing coffee, brunch trips, long walks, classical and popular music, theatre and films. Having a cosy, relaxing 'home' is very important to us, so we hope you'll agree isn't a *flat share*, but rather a little home-sanctuary!

Our ideal flatmate doesn’t have to be in the arts AT ALL, but an appreciation/understanding/enjoyment of the arts would be lovely so we could explore theatre, film, music etc together. Looking for someone likeminded and wants a real home :)
