Great room in friendly houseshare - Melbourne Grove


Clare-Bear

Recommended Posts

We have a furnished room going in our great sharing houseshare on Melbourne Grove. We are looking for someone from end March to mid April (a bit flexible).


We have a shared house account and buy and share our mainly vegetarian food together. We love veg boxes, bicycles and good music. There is a garden for growing things in spring, brunches in the South London sun and bonfires in the winter. It?s really important that we get along with whoever moves in and that he/she is happy to participate in the life of the house.


We are four at the moment, Clare (climber, foodcoop organiser), Sean (excellent cook, hill walker), Alice (moving out) and Ralph (adventure cycle tourer). Services we offer for other housemates: Ralph can build a wheel and always hunts for good bread. Clare knows all the best runs in the area, Sean makes the best ottolenghi food. We have two fluent French and somewhat fluent Spanish speakers - keen on language sharing, foreign movies :-)


The house has 4 bedrooms, a large living room, good sized kitchen and a garden (with a garage in it where we can store bicycles). The room is 510 Pounds plus about 140 for all bills and food and even Sean?s homemade marmalade.


Please get in touch if you'd like to see the room.

    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
