Lovely Double Room In Cosy 2-Bed Flat

My flatmate is moving out and I'm looking for someone else to rent the room.

It's a good-sized double bedroom in a cosy, well-decorated two-bedroom flat, in a 1920s purpose-built block in SE22. There's a great community feel to the place, and the neighbours are friendly and approachable. The flat is fully furnished to a high standard, with Sky TV and Wifi. The kitchen is very well equipped, plus dishwasher and washing machine. The bathroom is a good size with decent shower and lovely bath.

You'd be sharing the flat with me - I'm 46 and I work freelance in publishing. I love cooking and baking, enjoy a glass of wine and going out to pubs, cinema, even the odd club night. I'm friendly and laidback, but I do like a clean and tidy home - this is pretty important to me! When I'm at home, I like to have a quiet time, doing some cooking and watching films.

I'm looking for someone who is similarly laidback, quiet, tidy and considerate of other's privacy. The flat is very much a home for me, rather than a short-term stop-gap and I'd like a flatmate who is looking for the same sort of thing.

The woman who owns the flat is a great landlady. She leaves us to ourselves, but any repairs or concerns we've had have been dealt with swiftly and professionally. She also hasn't put the rent up in the two and a half years I've lived here - a real bonus in this day and age, I think.

The rent is £550 a month. Bills on top of that come to about £140 a month per person, and include gas/electricity, water, council tax, Sky and TV licence. The room is available from May 1st, possibly a bit earlier.
