Quiet Bright Double Room in South London - Wanted!

Hello Spare-Room Goers,

I'm Leif (Leaf🌿) a 38 year old male, originally from East Sussex, but have been living in South East London (Herne Hill, West Norwood, Brixton) for the past 8 years.

I am working as a Botanical Horticulturist currently based at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew (free entry to flatmates!, first perk). My hours of work are 08:00-16:00 Monday-Friday, with the occasional weekend work or slightly later finish.

I'm currently living in lovely green/leafy Herne Hill. Unfortunately moving out of my ground floor garden flat, but looking for a similar place to call home. Open to either furnished or unfurnished room, flat share or buddying up on a new place ideally in South West London to be closer to work.

I'm looking for some friendly, light-hearted, lovely people in which to share a peaceful, warm and social home with. Ideally sharing with female or mixed house, as I grew up with 3 younger sisters, so really not a lads lad.

Long term let with no lengthy contracts would be ideal, but happy to commit to long term if the right place and we are a great fit for eachother.

Require bicycle storage if possible, either outside or in (not that over protective over my none flashy bike) and ideally parking (driveway or on the street) as I also have a car (2nd perk for flatmates!)

I'm a warm, friendly, peaceful, neat and tidy, considerate person to live with and I respect other peoples privacy and needs.

Not much of a party person or drinker nowadays, more of an early bird than a night owl, so peaceful house would be preferred. But totally open to socialising, occasional pub visits, sharing dinners (vegetarian/pescatarian), cups of tea or something stronger with the odd Netflix binge and hanging out as a household, building friendships. It’s a home after all and I want it to feel so.

Interests include Gardening (of course), Nature and the Environment, Running, Gym & Exercise, Cycle Touring, Hiking, Cooking, Travel, Music Gigs, Bouldering, Photography, (the usual list of generic interests) looking to take up Swimming more and Tennis or another racket sport.

I have a few decent Kitchen gadgets, a healthy collection of houseplants, eclectic record collection, and a decent sized LG Smart TV to bring into the house share. I’m also a decent cook, or at the very least enjoy the process, so expect lots of tasty offerings.

I'm flexible and available to move pretty much straight away. I’m available for viewings/meet-ups with households most evenings after work or anytime over the weekends to see if we are a good fit.

If you have a suitable room or know someone who does or wants to possibly join forces on a flat share, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss further.
