Hello room-seekers, I've got a room available now for short-medium term rent, open to duration.

THE PLACE
2 bedroom ground floor flat in a low-rise development (3 stories) built in 1982 so fairly 'modern'. It's got a nice new IKEA kitchen with integrated appliances, got a few gadgets like Nutribullet, coffee machine, slow cooker. Also got an economical heat pump clothes dryer.
Flat's fully equipped so no need to bring anything specific (but
welcome to). Sonos speaker system, good internet, full package TV subscription and even a projector for sports/movies! Big gas BBQ in the garden which is in fairly frequent use. Space for bicycles.

THE ROOM
£850 per month all bills other than electricity included.
Room's cosy but still got a rather large freestanding wardrobe, small double (120cm width) bed with storage drawer underneath and a desk/chair (can remove). WFH all good but ideally at least a mix being out of the house and being active so each of us gets the chance to enjoy a bit of time to ourselves. The outlook from the room is directly onto the communal garden, barely anybody uses the garden so it's very private
and Tooting Common is directly behind the garden, birdsong in the morning, it's super quiet at night, can sometimes hear owls hooting at night so feels like a London oasis.

THE AREA
Tooting common is 1 min walk away and has a lido, tennis courts and a perimeter run is almost exactly 5km. 10 minute walk to the nearest rail/tube station at Balham for Northern Line into the city or railway into Clapham Junction/Victoria/Waterloo, also 10mins to Tooting Bec station. Loads of bars, restaurants, supermarkets 10mins walk away.

ME
I'm a 45YO Kiwi guy, been living in London for 15 years, sold a kidney for a deposit and bought the flat, currently on the job hunt and likely to be away a fair bit during summer. I'm super chilled, references available from previous lodgers, love to keep the place clean so it's for those who appreciate (and contribute to) a tidy place, and aren't a bring the party home type. Lots of interests, travel, motorcycles, cycling, running, sport, music, cooking and usual social stuff.

YOU
Clean, active, interesting, balanced...good humour and banter welcome.
