Room available - great flat/ area

Hi, I'm Charles - If you're looking for a room in southeast London, I can enthusiastically recommend both this flat and the area.

The flat:

The spare bedroom (15'7 x 8'3) is available unfurnished. The flat is on thv top floor, with great natural light and views of mature trees from the windows. There is a bathroom with shower/bath, a kitchen with a dishwasher and a large living room/dining room with a bay window.

The building is split into three flats, with the owner living in the bottom one. Since moving in (November 2025), I've found the owner to be a great landlord (e. g. she's repainted the bathroom when needed as well as replaced the extractor fan and recently repainted the windows). If you have a car, there is free on-street parking 30 seconds away.

Rent is £850 per month, with bills approx. £200 a month (council tax band D).

The area:

Having lived on the street for almost a year, I can say with confidence that this is a lovely area. The heath (a very short walk away) and Greenwich Park provide ample green space to enjoy, with Blackheath Village and Greenwich offering tonnes of great shops, restaurants and pubs. Blackheath train station is a 15 minute walk away, with trains getting you to central London is around 20 mins (London Bridge around 12-15). More than one local bus route runs to North Greenwich tube in approx. 15 minutes.

About myself:

I moved to Blackheath in November 2025. I've worked as a journalist in London for just over a decade, mostly covering Latin America and energy markets. If you enjoy having your place feel like a home and value it staying clean and tidy, we're probably on the same wavelength. I'll have plenty to keep me occupied between work and my social life, while also being happy to socialise with a flatmate and help contribute to a friendly environment.

Interested in: sports (tennis/football), travel, films, books, languages, music.
