Please read the ad properly before contacting me. I will not respond to messages that don't match my lodger criteria.

Rent includes all bills (except TV license). Security deposit refunded at the end of the tenancy if there are no damages.

Open to short terms stays (min 3 months).

ABOUT THE SPACE:

Secure gated development with a concierge, courtyard with fountain and sitting areas, bicycle storage space, recycling and food waste facilities.

Double bedroom with windows facing the courtyard. Very bright and airy. Windows face the sun in the morning & during the day. Curtains have blackout backing if you do not like the sunlight.

Furniture in the bedroom includes a double bed (with storage space underneath); a bedside drawer unit; a large wardrobe with hanging space, top shelf and drawers; a separate set of drawers; a full-length mirror, a desk (can be used as a dressing table); and wall bookshelves.

As I have my own ensuite, the main bathroom will be virtually exclusively for your own use (bathtub, flexible shower, sink, toilet, towel rail, shelves for storage.) It is not entirely private, however, as it is located in the corridor and will be used by house guests.

Very large living room that is organised in two areas - TV & reading area with sofas; and a dining area with a fold-out table. My working area is also in the living room.

Large balcony terrace with a sunlounger, sofa and small table. For decor and cosiness, I have plants, a knitted blanket, a shisha pipe, fairy lights and a wine ice bucket stand. It's a great chill-out place for the summer. There is a balcony above, so even when it rains there is a level of protection.

Separate kitchen with a large fridge-freezer, ceramic hob cooker, oven, microwave, nutribullet, pressure cooker/slow cooker, air fryer, coffee machine, dishwasher, washer-dryer.

Shad Thames is a historic area located next to Tower Bridge on the south of the river. Many bars and restaurants nearby, a newly built theatre (Bridge Theatre), three cinemas (Curzon Aldgate, Kino Bermondsey and Everyman Borough Yards), several gym options / yoga studios / pilates studios.

For food shopping we have Borough Market, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Co-Op, Planet Organic as well as a few smaller shops and markets.

Bermondsey Street is a 9min walk away, and it has bars, restaurants, boutiques and coffee spots.

Southwark park is the closest large park, but there are many smaller green areas within 5min.

Nearest tube stations (all equal distance of about 10-15min walk) London Bridge, Tower Hill, Bermondsey. DLR access from Tower Hill (Tower Gateway). Good bus links (78, 47, 188, 381, 42 within 3min from the house and a lot more from London Bridge station). Walking distance to Bank, Shoreditch, Liverpool Street, Waterloo, short commute to Canary Wharf.

ABOUT ME:

I am originally from Russia, have been here for 29 years. I speak a little Spanish. Apart from Moscow and London, I've lived in New York and Barcelona. Fairly well-travelled, cultured, love trying new cuisines and learning about the world. I'm a freelance art curator / exhibition organiser, currently doing my MA at Whitechapel Gallery. My main interests are art (Contemporary), music (Future beats, HipHop), reading (contemporary international fiction). I am usually quiet and like my personal space, but I do enjoy a chat / a movie night / a drink with the roomie when appropriate.

WHO I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE WITH:

Minimum 27 years old. Have experience living outside of your parents' house, and ideally have experience of sharing space with others.

Respectful and self-sufficient, but open to an occasional hang out / movie night etc.

As I am working AND studying full-time right now, I am looking for someone with a quieter lifestyle.

Happy to answer any questions, have a video walkthrough etc. Message me if you're interested in living here with me.

When messaging me please put the word "sunshine" at the start of the message so I know you've read my ad and are not just spamming everyone :)
