The room to rent is a light, comfortable upstairs bedroom, facing onto the back garden. Storage space includes a cupboard, and a chest of drawers. There is room for a double bed.
We're looking for:
- A housemate between the ages of 21 - 30
- in full time employment
- someone who wants to be part of a friendly, social household environment.
The property:
26 Love Walk is a totally unique home and location. Built in 1962, the house is detached, and surrounded by a tall brick wall. Entry is gained through a door in this wall, from the pedestrianised Love Walk. The house is fronted by a long front garden and a porch, with an equally deep back garden, in which grows a tall, mediterranean pine tree. The interior is in a minimalist '60s style, with a slightly Scandinavian feel, thanks to the light wood floors and staircase. A large living room and dining area spans the back of the house, with a working fireplace, and a small window in the wall between this room and the kitchen allows light to pass through the house. French doors open onto the back garden.
The room:
The bedroom that we're looking to rent has windows facing over the garden. The room is south-facing, and so is not hit directly by the sun in the mornings, but is nonetheless bright and airy. From its windows, you can see the back of another large townhouse, and the edges of the Maudsley Hospital grounds. As it does not face onto a road, it is also pleasantly quiet at night. A cupboard provides space for clothes. There is also a large chest of drawers, a shelving unit, and a bedside table. The room comes with a double mattress, but will require a new bed stand.
Bills are mostly included in the price - every quarter there is an additional £30-60 for electric/gas depending on usage.
The area:
Camberwell is a great place to live - it's filled with people, shops, pubs and restaurants. It's a cosmopolitan area, which is reasonably close to the centre of town, and has much better transport connections than many other areas in Zone 2. Love Walk runs along the north side of the Maudsley Hospital. To the east is Grove Lane, and Peckham, to the West is Denmark Hill, and Brixton. The property lies at the western end of the road. Transport is excellent. 10 minutes to the south is Denmark Hill station, which is connected to the London Overground, taking you up to Shoreditch and Dalston. Trains to Victoria and Blackfriars are frequent, both taking around 10 minutes to reach their destination. Alternatively, buses to Oval and Elephant and Castle are more or less constant, the former being 10 - 15 minutes away, the latter being 15-20 minutes away. The 176 stops at the end of Love Walk and runs 24 hours, from the Strand via Waterloo. Both Brixton and Peckham are around 5 minutes away by bus.
About us:
We are three friends. All of us are in our mid 20s, working in education, film and business. We're friendly, relaxed and enjoy spending time in the house, eating together and generally being sociable. We'd love to find someone who can join in with this environment. Our schedules are all different - some 9-5, some more afternoons and evenings. Our landlord is nice, and incredibly hands-off, which makes for a stress-free and pleasant relationship with her.
