Lovely bright double room. 7mins from LondonBridge

*** MONDAY TO FRIDAY ONLY ***
Lovely bright double room available from October 2014, in a double-glazed and centrally-heated Victorian terraced house, in a quiet road in SE15 - zone 2.
This room would suit a MATURE PROFESSIONAL who works in London during the week, but GOES BACK TO THEIR OWN HOME EVERY WEEKEND. The room would be available for your use on MONDAY NIGHT, TUEDAY NIGHT, WEDNESDAY NIGHT & THURSDAY NIGHT and the reduced price (60% reduction) reflects this MONDAY evening to FRIDAY morning arrangement, as the full rental price (including all associated household bills, & insurances) would be £865/month.
The £500/month rent includes all utility bills.
5 minutes walk from Queens Road station - only 7 minutes very frequent train journey from London Bridge & 6 minutes from Canada Water.
ACCOMMODATION...furnished with a bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, full length mirror, radiator, chair etc... We have wireless broadband internet access. You would be sharing the lovely large new fitted kitchen/breakfast room (with fridge and cupboard space for your own provisions), bathroom, spare downstairs loo, cosy comfortable lounge & small secluded courtyard garden. The room would suit a clean, tidy, considerate, non-smoking, mature professional, who would usually share house with the owner & one other person (sometimes two) and the house is ideally situated for people working in or around, City, London Bridge, Waterloo, Charing Cross, Victoria, Canary Wharf, Kings Cross, Blackfriars etc...
FACILITIES...Although the house is cleaned weekly, your room would be private during Monday to Friday & therefore your own responsibility. Additional cleaning could be arranged if you wish. Bed linen & towels are provided. Breakfast, evening meals, washing, ironing, dry-cleaning and other services could also be organised for you if you wish (by arrangement). I try to recycle as much rubbish as possible & have installed a compost bin & water butt in the garden. There is space to sit outside & enjoy summer evenings, as you can see in the attached photo.
AVAILABILITY...The bedroom will be available from Monday 27th Oct 2014, subject to the Tenancy Application being approved and favourable references. Viewings could be arranged immediately. I have rented a room for many years and like to ensure we always have pleasant living conditions by keeping the place clean and tidy and although I am very particular about my home (I have some house-rules) and I expect tenants to respect my home & possessions, many previous tenants have become firm friends. I would be happy to provide you with several recommendations from previous tenants, including the out-going tenant, who is only leaving after four years, as he is moving house.
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE AREA...We have a Blackbird Bakery and Tesco Express at our station and we have bars and eateries within a couple of minutes' walk.

A BIT ABOUT ME...I left my job to re-train and now make craft items and design bespoke stained glass windows and picture frames. I currently have a piece of work exhibited in the Victoria & Albert museum.
If you feel this all sounds interesting to you, please contact me.
As my home is only 12 mins (in total) from London Bridge station, or 10 mins (in total) from Canada Water, it may be possible for you to view during your lunch hour, if this would suit you better them an evening viewing. As I work from home, I'm flexible on the viewing times.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Caroline
