Cosy Double Room in Herne Hill!

A small but perfectly formed double room in a 3 person flatshare in Herne Hill. The room has shelves, small double bed, chest of drawers and built in wardrobe space. You can put your own stamp on the room! The flat is split over two floors and the room is on the second floor. There is a spacious kitchen with a table, lots of storage and a fridge freezer. The living room is large and very light with two sofas. We have a spare room we have turned into an office, plus we use it to dry the washing.

We are two women in our mid 30s with backgrounds in human rights and social justice and we’d ideally like to find a flatmate who shares our values. We have varied interests ranging from music, art, gardening, food, travel, cycling, exercise, yoga, meditation and reading. We are veggie and it would be great if you are too but we are open minded if you are not.

The flat is our sanctuary and a place we can recharge. Whilst we are sociable, it's not a party flat so if that's what you want, don't apply as you will be disappointed! We have friends round from time to time but we always check with each other and are respectful of each other’s space.

We both work full time, a mixture of days at home and days in the office. While we're lucky enough to have an office in the flat, we do have to share the space so it would be helpful for you to let us know what your working situation is when you get in touch.

If you don't know the area, Herne hill is in zone 3, close to Brixton. It's got independent shops, pubs, restaurants, a Sunday Market as well as a Sainsbury's and Tesco local. We don't have a garden but Brockwell park is less than 5 minutes walk away so it's easy to get a green fix. There are views of London from the top of the park. Herne Hill has a train station with good transport links to central London, lots of buses and Brixton tube station is only 20 mins walk away.

It is a real bargain, especially considering how expensive renting in London often is! We realise how lucky we are and for this reason, we want someone who will also treat it like a home, respect the space and relaxed atmosphere. We are looking for a housemate of a similar age who wants to make the flat their home for the foreseeable future.

Let us know a bit about yourself!
