Canada Water- Modern, Safe, Convenient, Fun!

Lounge/kitchen/diner

*Sorry room now taken. Leave a message of interest if you wish, should there be a change of circumstance. Thanks

This place has it covered with a good sized bedroom on offer within a modern living space and a safe convenient location! All bills included.

Room is available 18 April 2023 but open to some flexibility after this date. Sorry not available before 18 April.

Furnished room- double bed, mattress & memory foam topper, desk, chair, built in wardrobe with full height mirrors.

The room is in a 2-bedroom apartment based on the 2nd floor of a modern block.

This home would suit a someone who is respectful, clean and who can bring a nice personality to the flat. I’m looking for someone to share conversation in the normal likes of travel, movies, music, food and arts and anything more that makes you nice, decent and interesting! The aim is to have a relaxed home environment for both of us.

Room is for full week Monday to Sunday but anyone seeking a Monday-Friday only (pro rata) then I’ll be happy to receive messages from you also.

THE ROOM

The room is big and has a nice bright spacious character with a double bed (wood frame, mattress, topper), desk, built in wardrobe and enough space to make it your own.

THE FLAT

The building is modern (2016) and it’s got a really nice calm, warm style, which is sometimes rare to find in a new build. It’s carpeted and white-walled throughout and it’s got all the modern expectations of underfloor heating, secure video entry phone and a decent spec cooker, hob, fridge, dish washer and washing machine. There is a secure bike storage shed close to the flat.

It’s on the 2nd floor, but it’s also in a block of only 3 flats so it’s extra safe and very very quiet in that respect.

The flat has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and an open plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Furnished with a modern style and art.

HOUSE MATE

I moved into the flat January 2016 and I lived in the general area for a number of years. I really like the location and the flat. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy the flat as much as I do- so getting the right fit is going to be important for us both. Although I’ll want to look after the place I want the person I share with to feel like it’s their home too. I’ve shared flats in London for a while and I know your space is as important as mine.

I’m a working professional and I’m a balanced and rounded person most of the time! I’ve travelled a fair bit, lived abroad, like to keep fit and do the normal socialising things.

BENEFITS

The area is very safe and with transport links so close it means getting home and away is convenient and not a risk. It’s not far from the river and Southwark and Deptford Parks are close for a run or a walk.

The area is not a late night party suburb, which makes it a very quiet and a restful flat and location. However, there are a couple of nice pubs around Canada Water, Rotherhithe and Wapping. Deptford and New Cross also close options. With Bermondsey and London Bridge not far to the other direction.

For cinema, bowling, takeaways and restaurants the location is very close to Canada Water and Surrey Quays high street. There’s also a library and a large shopping centre in Canada Water which includes a Tesco and Decathlon. The Canada Water area is currently undergoing a massive uplift.
