Single/Small Double In Friendly House with Dog

Short term and Mon-Fri lets absolutely considered.

Looking to rent my spare room for up to 6 months, possibly longer if we get on really well! Price PCM is inclusive of all bills and will be adjusted for any part-time let, also willing to negotiate for short-term lets.

Professionals only, ideally someone located in the office for at least part of the week, will be a lodger in my home as opposed to a tenant so please be aware you will not need to sign a formal rent agreement though a deposit will still be required.

Street is free parking and a 15 minute walk from Thornton Heath station or a >10minute walk up the hill to catch a 5 min bus to Norwood Junction station which has regular trains that will get you into London Bridge in 11 minutes.

Now that's the boring stuff out of the way, hello! I'm Sophie and I bought my lovely house in Thornton Heath at the end of 2022. Whilst the house can certainly be considered a work in progress it is my proudest achievement so I'm looking for someone respectful, friendly, tidy and happy to live with myself and my delightful four legged child, Teddy.

The available room is a single/small double with 2 built in wardrobes and a south east facing window overlooking the garden. At the moment there is a day bed in there which acts as a single bed or pulls out into a king (a very tight squeeze when it is!). Up to you whether you'd like to stick with this or very happy to store it away so you can use a bed of your choosing, the room is absolutely big enough for a double bed.

The rest of the house comprises of a very large shared bathroom, kitchen, dining room and separate living room as well as my lovely little sun trap garden. There's plenty of storage about the house too so don't worry this is not the kind of place where you're expected to keep every worldly possession in the one room!

I work from home full time and I'm also a home body which means I'll be here for the vast majority of the time so I'm looking for someone friendly I could share a bottle of wine, a movie night, a dog walk, some dinner or a trip to the pub with. That said I also really love my own space so will not be in the least bit offended if you want to do your own thing. I do also at least once a month spend 5/6 consecutive days in Essex with my family.

I'm pretty tidy but this is my home and not a show home and of course I have a dog so if you're expecting somewhere permanently immaculate I'm probably not for you! I do have a weekly cleaner (usually Fri/Sat or Sun) who always leaves the place looking lovely, as long as your room is tidy and the floor clear when she comes she'll hoover, dust and clean the windows for you, this is included as part of bills.

Think that's about it, room is available pretty much immediately though will need a few days to give it a quick paint freshen up and re-jig some storage. Hope to hear from you and happy hunting!
