LOVELY Room in International Balham Flatshare

Ad ref# 4664546

Hi,

We're taking viewings for an easy-going and friendly person to move into a lovely, larger than average single room available in a homely, comfortable, spacious and friendly flatshare.

The room is fully-furnished and there is a wardrobe just outside the room. The wardrobe can be placed in the room if required but most people prefer to keep it outside the room.

The room is available from Friday 3rd May 2019.

The room would suit someone with creative interests who leans towards the arts rather than corporate side of things.

The flatshare is with 2 other easy going and friendly people. One is in her 20s and works in Digital Marketing. The other works in web development.

The Room and Area
--------------
The room has stripped floorboards, and the flat has lots of storage space, a large eat-in kitchen and a large lounge.

Balham Underground (Zone 3) and Overground Station is a 7 minute walk from the flat. Clapham South (Zone 2) underground is a 10 minute walk and

Suitability
--------------
The room would suit an easy-going and friendly person in their late 20s - late 30s who is sociable, but respects others' space.

You should also be the kind of person who likes to live in a clean environment and happy to clean up after yourself in the kitchen / bathroom etc.

Sorry, but the landlord's insurance does not cover full-time homeworkers. So you will either need to have a full-time job working outside of the home to be considered for the room. Or, be a post-graduate or full-time student.

The Rent
--------------
The rent is £125 per week / £545 per calendar month, plus £10 per week for bills. ie the total including bills works out at just under £590 per calendar month all Inclusive of bills. We also have a cleaner who comes in and cleans all the communal areas every two weeks. Her fees are also included in the bills.

To make things easier for the right person you can pay every two weeks and just two weeks' rent and bills + £250 deposit in advance (ie £590 to move in) are required. After that the rent and bills can be paid every two weeks.

Included in the rent is council tax, internet access and all household cleaning products such as washing powder etc.

The Area
--------------
If you don't know Balham, it is has been voted by The Sunday Times as one of the best places to live in London!

This is probably because it is a very safe and nice area and a very desirable area of London. Balham has a village feeling and has a warm and friendly vibe is just 20 minutes from Central London.

If you do know Balham, you will also will totally appreciate that the rent is extremely well priced (especially with just a two week deposit required). This is because the landlord values getting the right person over getting the highest rent!


The Flat and Facilities
-----------------------
The flat is spacious, light and comfortable. There is is a very large lounge, eat-in kitchen, lots of storage space plus all the usual eg. washing machine, shower, broadband internet access etc.

Transport and The Location
--------------------------
The flat is exceptionally well located and it is about a 10 minute walk to Clapham South Tube station (Zone 2) and about
a 5 minute walk to Balham underground (Northern Line - Zone 3) / British Rail overland (15 mins to Victoria).

It comprises the upper two floors of a Victorian house and is on one of Balham's most desirable streets on the Zone 2/3 border.

It is also less than a 5 minute walk from the N155 night bus route from central London.

The flat is secure and is just a two minute walk from Balham High Road, so is good for someone who wants to feel safe walking home late at night from work/pub etc.

Contact for Viewing
------------------------------ ----

Given the large volume of people looking to find a well-priced place in Balham, we will need to make a shortlist before inviting you for a viewing.

Therefore it will be a real help if you can either complete your own Spareroom profile or tell us a bit about yourself eg your employment status etc. If you don't communicate anything about yourself it is very, very unlikely that you will be considered for the short-list

Also, I would advise that you arrange to view ASAP because good rooms in this part of London tend to go very quickly.

Strictly non-smokers only.

Thanks!

Chris
