Lge Dbl E/S Bedrm + Your Own Lounge/Dining Room

Hi,

I'm looking for a single housemate, but would consider a mature (30+) couple for £1350 pcm.

I'm a young at heart, healthy and fit 79 year old divorced man and I'm clean and tidy and would hope for the same from you (in the kitchen anyway)!

A few years ago I bought, extended and completely renovated a 4 double bedded house in Sanderstead/South Croydon (Tax Band F). It's situated in a nice residential area with convenient transport links.

I'm out most days playing golf over the road, have a GSOH and am looking for a lodger to help pay the bills and provide a bit of occasional company.

As I live downstairs, you would normally have the top floor to yourself apart from my occasional overnight guest. You would have a large (6m x 2.7m o/all) bedroom with double bed, loads of storage and a nice en-suite shower room with toilet and vanity unit. This forms part of a new extension built 13 years ago and has non-overlooked views over garden.

You would also have for your exclusive use a good sized lounge/diner/office (3.8m x 3.4m) with extensive views from a large picture window. It has two cream leather settees, small dining table, bureau, computer desk, large flat screen tv, freeview recorder box, stereo system, etc.

I'm happy for you to have occasional use of the large bathroom next door and, subject to availability, my spare double bedroom for the occasional overnight guest, all of which are on the first floor.

Downstairs the two of us would share a luxury kitchen with American fridge/freezer and dishwasher, all the usual gadgets, and the use of a washing machine and separate tumble drier. You would also have the shared use of a nice secluded garden and there are no parking issues.

I am looking for someone who is tidy, quiet, friendly and considerate. My preference would be for a professional non-smoking lady, as they tend to be tidier and quieter. Sorry lads!.

The location is excellent being in a good quality residential area (the house next door is worth c. £1.5m), but with close links to transport. Sanderstead and Purley Oaks stations are under 10 minutes walk with a 20 minute journey to Victoria or London Bridge. Gatwick is about the same, and buses to Purley, Croydon, Caterham, Coulsdon and Redhill are very close by. There is a nice park and gardens only 4 mins walk away.

I am asking for £1200 pcm for a single housemate, or £1350 for a couple including all bills and Wifi but not phone. I will need a £1000 deposit and the usual references., and can provide my own. I can offer a flexible contract with a minimum term of 6 months but preferably long term.

I have had three previous housemates, the first a 23 year old girl was with me for over 3 years, and moved to Yorkshire. followed by another young lady who was with me for nearly seven years, and has returned to her home country – South Korea - so I must have been quite a nice landlord ;) For the last 3 years I have been hosting a lovely young Ukranian couple who are sadly leaving me to buy their own house. The rooms are available as from 15th November, but can be viewed any time before then.

If you're interested, please e mail or text me and tell me a little about yourself, and when you would like to view.

And don’t forget to have a look at my very amateur video which will tell you more – and ‘stars’ yours truly. Oh, and I'm sorry about the abrupt ending - I didn't realise that I couldn't go over 5 minutes, and I got cut off in my prime . . . .
What I 'would have said' was that I was really looking forward to hearing from you, maybe meeting up with you for a coffee or glass of wine, and hopefully signing you up as my new lodger/housemate (not obligatory though)!

Thanks for reading this ,

Peter
