Single Room, S Croydon, Inc Bills, Parking, Garden

Viewing Saturday 6th September from 12 noon. Please contact me to arrange.

Room available immediately.

Very small single bedroom (approx size 3.2m x 2.1m) in shared house on Hurst Way in the upmarket suburban part of South Croydon. The room is for a single person only please (no couples). Sharing house with others (all single professionals in full time employment). All the sharers are tenants, I am a 'live out' landlord. Bedroom door has a key operated lock. Kitchen, lounge and bathroom facilities are shared.

The rent for this South Croydon room is exceptionally low because the room is very small and will not suit a lot of people. There is separate storage space for possessions but if you have a lot of possessions this room will not be for you.

There is a shared lounge at the house so you needn't feel too trapped in your small bedroom.

The last person to rent this room only spent 1 week each month in the UK so it suited her very well.

Rent of £400 per month. The rent includes all of these bills: Council Tax, Gas, Electricity, Water, TV Licence and Broadband. [There are no extra admin fees, agreement fees, referencing fees, hidden costs etc. etc. as I do not use agents]

The room is suitable for a single person only. Guests are welcome to stay but not more than 2 nights per week maximum please (merely to avoid queues for kitchen and bathroom).

The house is 10-15 minutes walk from South Croydon Station for main line trains to East Croydon, Clapham Junction, London Victoria, London Bridge, Purley, Gatwick and Brighton. The house is served by 412 and 403 bus route (3 minute walk to Hurst View Road (412) bus stop or Twin Bridges (412 + 403) bus stop which connect West Croydon - Central Croydon - South Croydon - Selsdon - Sanderstead - Riddlesdown - Purley (412) or Warlingham (403).

The room is available furnished with a single bed, built in wardrobe, make-up table and shelves. There is a large separate cupboard outside the room to store any possessions that you can't fit in the room. There is additional storage in the kitchen for groceries / kitchenware. The kitchen has 3 fridges (plenty of fridge space) plus shared use of the cooker and microwave oven. Shared use of bathroom with shower.

House was built in 1920s in 'Arts & Crafts' style so has a 'cottage' feel to it. We have refurbished it sympathetically to retain as many original features as possible including the original windows, as well as original bathroom and kitchen fittings wherever possible. Please don't expect ultra modern fittings, we have sought to retain the character and charm of the original design of the house.

Obviously no smoking whatsoever in the house and non-smokers are preferred.

There is a large shared lounge on the ground floor which has a sofa, TV, dining table and also a fold out bed should you have an occasional guest to stay.

Free parking is available outside the house - there are no parking restrictions.

Standard AST tenancy agreement for a minimum term of 6 months, a holding deposit of £300 will be required to secure the room, this will be deducted from your first month's rent when you move in. To move in you will need to pay the first month's rent (£400 less the £300 holding deposit = £100) plus £400 security deposit to use to pay for your final month of rent whenever you move out...so a total of £800 (i. e. 2 months rent) to move in.

Viewings by appointment only please. Communication by SpareRoom message system or by phone / text to Chris Carter (leave a voicemail message if necessary - I always return calls).

If coming on foot from South Croydon Station the quickest way is to take the short footpath/footbridge that connects the end of Dornton Road with the end of Whitmead Close - check out the map provided with this listing.

Sorry, but due to the insurance policies for the property we can only accept employed tenants.

Please do not call me if you are an agent as I do not require agency assistance.
