Short Let in this lovely sun trap!

Ad ref# 15723018

- - About the room - -
Absolutely perfect for easing yourself back into London as we unlock (fingers crossed!).

I'm leaving my gorgeous suntrap of a room and very lovely housemates for 2 months from the 20th of May. I've been living here for most of the pandemic and it feels so much like home that I don't want to move out long term.

SO I'm hoping to sublet it to YOU for 1-2 months to help me with costs, and give you a great base as you ease back into London/look for your new home/just do a bit of gallivanting.

I actually have 2 co-joined rooms, so will be moving all my stuff into one of them, and the one in the photos will be all yours. I'll leave furniture but happy to move out the table/desk/chair/mirror if you don't want them while you stay.

I've reduced the price by a load from what I pay and am including all bills in it to make things simple.

The room is really sunny with two windows, I can see lovely trees out of both. Comfy double bed, small wardrobe, loads of shelves. I've got a bright yellow desk in here to work at. The walls in the house are thick, so the only thing I hear in this room is Tulse Hill road out front.

You'll see from the photos that the room is currently a bit of a jungle! You're very welcome to become a foster parent to the plants if that's your thing, but if not they will be distributed to friends.

I am up for shorter sublets between late May and early July too - just let me know when works :)


- - The property - -
The house is old but lovely. One bigger bathroom and one shower room with reasonable water pressure. We've never had bathroom queues! A big kitchen where a few of us can cook at once and you'll have cupboard/fridge/freezer space. A really nice living room with sofas, a big dining table, lots of plants, board games and a karaoke machine for special occasions! haha.

We have a garage where we all keep our bikes (you're welcome to borrow mine!) and a big patio garden complete with hammock, bbqs and firepit

We also have parking on a big drive out front.

We are literally opposite Brockwell park which is SO GREAT for squeezing in a morning or lunch time walk. Tulse Hill rail is 15 mins walk in one direction and Brixton tube for the mega fast Victoria line is 15 min in the other. There are also buses going super frequently from just at the end of our drive if you're in a rush or just don't fancy walking.

- - The household - -
My housemates are WONDERFUL and fun. So I'm hoping to find someone who will just slot into the home with them. 2 x teachers, 1 x sexual health researcher and 1 x ed tech person. We're a mix of genders, all in early 30's and friends as well as housemates. Everyone mostly gets on with their own thing, although we normally have dinner together on Sundays, and random cups of tea in the week. There's normally 3 of us working from home, mostly in our rooms but sometimes in the living room when we need a change. I *think* the wifi also extends well enough to the garden to work out there.

The important covid bit: The house has been so great at communicating with each other during covid and negotiating how to keep each other safe. We do have 2 teachers in the house who go into schools, but they distance and get tested every week. Other than that we're starting to go to pubs/have picnics with friends and have been taking it in turns to occasionally 'book' the garden for an evening. We're not militant with the rules but we are taking it seriously. So for example if someone wants to bend the rules a little on a specific occasion (eg. stay with a single friend who is struggling) they weigh up the risk and ask the other housemates how they feel about it. 9/10 we agree to whatever it is. The most important thing is the respect to consult each other and make shared decisions - and I think that's how the house will carry on through all the unlocking. I hope whoever 'borrows' my lovely room will feel the same.
