Room in a spacious, quiet flatshare

The room

Looking for a spacious, quiet place to live in South London? Want to share with older flatmates and live somewhere that feels more like a home?

I'm moving abroad for a year so my serene, garden-facing room is available to sublet. Dates are somewhat flexible in that if you need to move in a bit later (i. e. January), or stay a month or two longer, then that is doable.

The flat is spacious and clean and located on a quiet residential street near Streatham Hill railway station. We have an excellent relationship with the landlord and he is aware I will be subletting.

SEEKING
*Anyone who enjoys living in an adult household, looking after the space and treating it like a home. Current flatmates are a good mix of independent and sociable, and the flatshare dynamic works because we communicate well and have compatible interests and routines. *Vegetarians welcome as long as you don’t mind living with omnivores.
*Outside smoking ok
*No pets, unfortunately

CURRENT FLATMATES
You would be sharing with two lovely professional ladies in their 30s and 40s, who are mostly working from home because of covid. They spent all of lockdown cooking and baking, and enjoy the occasional dinner party, bbq, tv night, pub quiz, etc. In non-pandemic times, they are keen travellers.
CLEANER
We like to keep a clean, organised home and so have a weekly cleaner who helps with this, coming to approx £48 a month each. This is not included in the rent.

TWO GARDENS
We have a garden and a vegetable patch next to it. This year we grew tomatoes, beans, peppers, Swiss chard, beetroot, potatoes, and lots of herbs. If you like gardening (or weeding, let’s be honest) then you're in luck!
