Double room bills included zone1 / 2 boundary
Double bedroom available in a two bedroom house in SE1, just off of Old Kent Road.
THE HOUSE
The room is fully furnished and has walk-in wardrobe and additional storage. The house is in a peaceful cul-de-sac area with allotted parking space, front garden/yard and excellent transport links...
THE LOCATION
On the threshold of zone 1, you can get pretty much anywhere in 30 minutes on a bus or by bicycle, or if you walk as slowly as I do, you can walk into the Covent Garden in just under an hour.
For those underground addicts out there, we are a 10-15 minute walk from the tube station (Elephant and Castle for Northern/Bakerloo lines, or Bermondsey for the Jubilee line) and a 15-20 minute walk from London Bridge station (Jubilee Line plus NR trains) BUT you may never need to get a train or tube again!
There are direct buses to:
- Camden
- King's Cross
- London Bridge
- Waterloo
- Bank
- Liverpool Street
- Tottenham Court Road
- Holborn
- Soho
- Oxford Street..... the list goes on.
ALSO buses to Depford where you can jump on the DLR for Docklands if the Jubilee line is down. You can generally get where you want to go in just over half an hour on the cost of one bus trip on your Oyster!
Large Tesco nearby, as well as Asda/B&Q/Currys/Argos/Library/ take aways.
THE BORING BITS
The deposit is £900, you'll be subletting from me (never fear, it's all above board and approved by the owner).
Rent is £685 plus £115 bills, making £800pm in total. Including Sky+ and Broadband (yippee!)
We currently also pay £20 each for the bliss of having a cleaner come in and do our dirty work once a fortnight.
The house is well presented, clean and spacious, so I'm looking to live with another professional who will help to keep it that way and be equally house-proud. Dinner parties and movie nights are a must, but if you love throwing raucous house parties, this probably isn't the place for you.
THE INTRODUCTIONS
You'll be living with me, Sooz, a 27 year old running my own production company as well as working in the West End, meaning that I tend to keep slightly odd hours. Hobbies include:
- watching theatre ("work")
- making theatre ("work")
- random day trips out of London
- Pimms. Lots of Pimms.
Additional perks include occasional free tickets to shows :D
I have a one 7 year old female housecat, she's well behaved, very inquisitive and playful. Hobbies include:
- following me around the house
- eating moths and spiders
- sleeping on whatever you are trying to use (newspapers, boxes, notebooks, laptop keyboards...)
- Watching the world go by the window
Beware if you have cat allergies!
If you're friendly, reliable, and like a drink or a Sunday roast every now and then, text me, I can't wait to hear from you!
