A double room in our lovely queer home, SE17

A double room is available in our lovely queer home in Walworth, SE17. £960/month plus bills.

You will be living with three other friendly housemates and two cats. Our housemate is moving back to the US until further notice, and we’re looking for someone to fill her room starting end of November 2025!

The Room/ House:
The room is fully furnished, with a double bed, 2 built-in wardrobes, and a chest of drawers. She’s also willing to sell a desk and chair if there is interest!

The house has a shower room, 2 bathrooms (1 with a washer and dryer), living room, kitchen and garden.

Accessibility:
The room is on the first floor of the house.
The house is a two-storey terraced house. There is one step up into the front garden, then another step into the house. The ground floor has a change in level - one step down into the living room from the hallway, then another step down into the kitchen.
The bathroom and shower room are both on the second floor.
Entry is through the front door with a key (one step up).
There is a doorbell and no intercom.

Nearby:
Elephant and Castle Tube Station (Northern/Bakerloo): 15/20 minute walk

High Streets: Walworth Road and Old Kent Road with libraries,
Burgess Park: 10-minute walk

About us:
We are three queer people in our late twenties/ early thirties (and two cats!)
Things like trade union organising, going to Palestine march together, and karaoke is important to us.
We love having a peaceful home where we are all friends and like to hang out together, but also deeply value our private alone time.
We’d love someone who is super chill and easy to get along with, and who helps keep our shared spaces clean and tidy. We have a lot of plants and ferments.
We all work long hours (community/ housing/ midwife) so we appreciate a calm, quiet house most of the time, but are happy with the occasional guest.
Ideally, looking for someone who is considerate of others and up for living communally. We share our grocery shopping, and cook for each other most nights.
We have mixed work-from-home and in-office schedules, so we would ideally love someone who works mostly out of the house, but not a deal breaker.
We have two cats - this means that we can’t accept anyone with more pets.
We don’t smoke indoors; one of us smokes occasionally in the garden. We prefer not to smoke weed.

Practical Things:
The room is available from the end of November, anytime after the 26th.
Deposit is 1 month’s rent (£960).
The rent will be £960 per month + bills. We estimate that bills are around £75 per month. We're looking to do a rolling monthly contract but open to discussing this with people who are interested.

Next steps:
Please get in touch by message, telling us a bit about yourself.
We’ll be inviting a few people for a chat to get to know each other/ view the room, before confirming in the next weeks.
