This is my little home on the border of West Norwood/Gipsy Hill (SE27) and I’ve been really happy here. Work has taken me abroad, so I’m looking for someone who’ll look after it and make it their own too. It's ideal for a couple or single occupant.

The place is light, spacious and super comfortable and the surrounding area is well connected with loads of amenities. The flat is a converted Victorian terrace, one up one down. The downstairs neighbour is a lovely lady in her 50s, she has two dogs and is very sweet. The two flats share a front door but have separate entrances, with mine being upstairs.

I was very lucky when I used to rent. I had an amazing landlord and I want to follow his example. So many rentals are neglected but this was my home so I’m keen to stay on top of things and to do things the right way and make the process as seamless as possible for both of us. 

LOCATION
– On the Gipsy Hill/ West Norwood border (Zone 3)
– Norwood Park directly behind flat (with view of London skyline!)
– Shops are 2 mins away (convenience stores, coffee shops, takeaways, vets, medical etc)
– Gipsy Hill Brewing Taproom is just round the corner (sadly I don’t drink beer)

TRANSPORT
– 6 mins walk to Gipsy Hill Station (National Rail)
– 25 mins direct to London Bridge
– 25 mins direct to Victoria

NEW BITS
– Bosch Induction Hob (brand new)
– Bosch Dishwasher (1 year old)
– Double Sofabed (1 year old)
– New blinds (bathroom + living room)
– 90% of the flat has been decorated in the last 12 months
– Fully furnished but happy to negotiate which extra bits and pieces would be useful to leave in the flat (e. g. TV, kettle, coffee machines etc)

THE CAVEATS
The flat is genuinely lovely - people only say good things about it. That said everyone has slightly different requirements and I don't want to waste anyone's time. I appreciate honesty so here are a couple of caveats:

– There is a small private garden - it does need a little TLC when the weather improves though.
– The back staircase down to the garden is q steep, you get used to it, but its an FYI for anyone with accessibility issues
– The front staircase up into the flat is q narrow so bringing bigger items into the flat can be tricky, but this shouldn't be an issue as it's fully furnished ;)
– The train line runs behind the garden at the back, but it's very quiet, I genuinely don’t even notice it any more

REQUIREMENTS
A bit boring I'm afraid this bit, but for insurance purposes, I will need the tenant to provide the following:

– Passport (proof of right to live in UK)
– Written references from a current employer, former landlord or guarantor
– A credit check from a licensed credit reference agency

If you're still with me…

The flat is available from the start of May 2024, but I am open to negotiating on dates if needed. I'm in the UK until 13th April 2024, but my gf is based in the UK and can help with any questions or visits after then.

Drop me a line if you're interested with a bit about yoursel, thanks!!
