Friendly houseshare next to Ruskin Park

Furniture not included

Heyy! We’re Lewis, Ed & Isobel! We were once a house of long term friends from school in Somerset and Dorset, two of which have now moved out. Isobel grew up in Herne Hill & joined us in March and has slotted in perfectly. One of our housemates is moving out and we are looking for a lovely person to take his room. We’re open, honest and friendly people and we’re queer friendly.

The room itself is at the back of the house on the top floor, overlooking the garden and railway, it gets lovely afternoon sun. The room comes un-furnished but there are clothes rails just outside the door on the landing, shared with one housemate. The landlord is also generally amenable to putting up shelves etc. The closest bathroom is on the ground floor, shared with two other housemates.

The house is spread across three floors, with a shared open-plan kitchen/living room. The kitchen has a fantastic counter top, a good amount of storage space, and is generally quite comfortable for a couple of people to cook in simultaneously — though we also sometimes like to cook together. However, there is neither a tumble dryer (but we do have a heated drying rack and washing lines in the summer) nor a dishwasher. Fridge and cupboard space is somewhat limited to we share essentials, you would be welcome to subscribe to this as much or as little as you want.

We have a large TV and sound system in the living room. It’s a really cosy space and works well for hosting people. We often play board games together or get into the latest series of traitors etc.

When it comes to cleaning we are all fairly clean but not militant. We proactively clean/do bins, declutter as needed, often jumping onboard to help if free so nobody feels like they are taking on all of the chores.

There is a garden at the back of the house where we store our bikes. We made some pallet furniture and enough chairs to host a large number of people out there, plus a table for eating outside in the summer. We also like gardening and growing food so if that’s your kind of thing then we’re always looking for fresh ideas.

The house is about 10-15 minutes’ walk away from Brixton Tube. It is also 1 minute away from Loughborough Junction station which can get you to central in less than 10 minutes, 10 minutes’ walk from Denmark Hill Station, and we are also well-connected by bus. We’re close to Camberwell, and right next to Ruskin Park which is delightful, runs lots of events through the summer, and has plenty of amenities such as tennis courts, football pitches, and a calisthenics gym.

Bills are approximately £125 per month but vary in the summer/winter. Council tax band E.
