1 bedroom to rent in a 2 bedroom Victorian flat in Crystal Palace / Sydenham area. The flat is stunning with lots of period features such as high ceiling, cornicing and original solid wooden floors. I own the flat and so it comes beautifully decorated and fully furnished. If you like the mix of old Victorian features with modern loft style living you'll love it.
The bedroom to rent is a good size double bedroom (11 ft x 10 ft). Please note that all current furniture in the bedroom pictures will be replaced with brand new furniture, including: double bed, large wardrobe, desk, large mirror and picture frames.
Crystal Palace Park is only a 1 minute walk across the road so if you like walks or picnics in the park this would be perfect for you. Sydenham is a 10 minute walk or a 3 minute bus ride away and has all the amenities you'll need. Crystal Palace village is a 15 minute walk or a 8 minute bus ride away and has lots of wine bars, cafes, pubs, shops and restaurants. If you fancy a livelier night out Peckham is only a 30 min bus right away.
There's lots of transport options into London depending on where you want to travel too. Sydenham overground is on the Mildmay line which runs up to East London, such as Shoreditch, Dalston and Highbury & Islington. You can get the train directly to London Bridge from Sydenham station. You can also get the train from Sydenham Hill station which goes directly to Victoria and Blackfrairs stations.
A little bit about me. I'm Tara (48 years old). I work in branding and I love being creative in my spare time. I love exhibitions, art, design, travel, film, cooking and wine with friends. I've been known to throw some legendary dinner parties.
I'm looking for a cool independent 35-50 year old flatmate (no couples). Must be a professional (not suitable for students). The flat would suit someone who doesn't work from home full-time. The lounge is a social communal area only. There will be a desk in the bedroom should you need to work from home on occasions. The flat isn't a party house. I'm looking for someone chilled, clean, independent and an all round good egg.
The rent is £1,200pm and bills are £200pm. There is a cleaner who comes twice a month to do a deep clean.
