Sunny room in welcoming flat

PLEASE NOTE viewings will be possible from Thurs 1 October, not before.

Light and welcoming room in a calm, friendly household, right next to West Dulwich station, with easy access to the West End and the City. The room is a good size, with a built-in single bed. The bed is comfortable, but probably not suitable if you're very tall/large. All bills and wifi included.

If you're interested in the room you'll find a lot of info in this ad - so do read all of it. When you message, the more you can tell me about yourself and your life/work routine the better.

I'm looking to rent to a woman, probably someone with regular daytime working hours mainly out of the house. The odd day WFH is fine, but would need to be agreed when we meet. Please note minimum age (28) - I'm 56.

The room could suit someone needing a temporary base for work or academic purposes, and is also available as a Mon-Fri let (at approx £610/month). If you want it full time but for less than 6 months I'd charge a little more, exact amount dependent on how short the stay is.

I have art materials stored in the plan chest drawers in the room and occasionally access them. Because of this, the single built-in bed and modest storage space it will best suit someone whose main longterm home is elsewhere.

I'm often away, so there will very often be just two of you in the flat. With my current lodger (who's staying) I have a good balance between sociability and independence - regular chats, but giving each other space. In general we're low key at home and tend to be earlyish to bed, so only get in touch if this fits with your own preferences/routine.

The room is furnished with a single bed with under-bed drawer, bedside cabinet, armchair, long mirror, table and chair, a high shelf, a cupboard space above the plan chest, and wall rails for hanging clothes. There's plenty of room to put down a yoga mat if that's a part of your routine.

The flat is on the ground floor, surrounded by communal green areas in a block set away from main road/traffic, with a balcony area to the rear. Local shops three minutes walk away. Lots of parks on the doorstep; free tennis courts 2 mins walk away at Belair Park, Dulwich Park and Gallery less than 10 mins walk.

We're one minute's walk from West Dulwich station, so as well as very quick travel time to Brixton and Victoria (5 and 12 mins respectively on the train), there is an easy connection at Herne Hill to the line up through Blackfriars, Farringdon and St Pancras, and on to Luton or Bedford. We're also on the route of buses 3, P13 and 201 that connect us to central London, Brixton, Streatham, East Dulwich and New Cross.
