Spacious double in cosy historic home with garden

A spacious double bedroom is available on the first floor of our charming plant-filled Edwardian home, shared with just one other person. The flat is on a quiet side street in Rotherhithe, minutes away from the Thames, the Windrush Line and the Jubilee Line. The bedroom is on the garden side, very quiet, with lots of morning light from an east-facing window, furnished with double bed, large desk, a built-in closet and plenty of shelving. There is a big living room and kitchen, a shared bathroom, and a small study that can be used as a guest bedroom or for storage. We have a dishwasher, a private patio and garden, wooden floors and historic touches all over the house.

If you don't know the area, it's absolutely London's best-kept secret: quiet, safe, yet well-connected. We're 10 minutes from London Bridge and Canary Wharf, and 15 minutes from Waterloo, with plenty of scenic walks and woodland paths nearby. There are many bus routes at Canada Water and a big Tesco 15 minutes by foot.

You'll be living with me, a journalist and PhD student in her mid-30s. I am clean, welcoming, and easy to communicate with. I'm open to all gender identities, asking only that you clean up after yourself and are respectful of the common areas. It's not a party house, but I'd be happy to socialize together and friends are welcome to visit. Would best suit a professional or a mature student looking for a calm, creative home with good vibes.

Bills average about 86/month, council tax (Band C) 56/month unless you are also a full-time student and exempt.
