Short term let - Large double room in lovely shared home


hollieamber

Recommended Posts

Hello,


We are looking to rent a large double bedroom with its own private bathroom and walk-in wardrobe/storage room, initially for a 3-month period, with potential to extend after that.


The house is situated in Camberwell, between Burgess Park and Peckham Road, within five minutes' walk of South London Gallery, Brunswick Park and Camberwell Green with its many shops, pubs and restaurants (Silk Road, Nandine, Theo's Pizza, Hermit's Cave, Camberwell Arms, Jazz at the Crypt, etc) and countless bus routes. Denmark Hill and Peckham stations are also within walking distance.


It is a two-storey maisonette with a bright, open living room / kitchen on the ground floor, leading through to a private garden. Also on the ground floor is a separate laundry and spare bedroom.


The bedroom available is upstairs, and features a large window with fitted Venetian blinds, double bed, shelves and bedside table. It has its own bathroom with bath and shower, and a large walk-in storage / wardrobe space adjacent to the bedroom with more shelves and a clothes rail.


You would be sharing the flat with a very entertaining male journalist / amateur chef, and an exceedingly friendly one-eyed cat. The house atmosphere is friendly and social ? shared meals, films and occasional dinner parties are commonplace, but it is equally private and spacious enough that you can do your own thing.


The room is ?900/month (inclusive of all bills, council tax and a fortnightly cleaner). No deposit.


It is available from 1st December, for an initial period of 3 months, but this is flexible and may well be extendable, to be confirmed early next year.


If this arrangement works for you, please get in touch.

Hello,


I think this arrangement may work well for me at the moment. The atmosphere sounds perfect. I am a Clinical Psychologist working in the NHS. I have just ended a relationship, so I need a new place to stay. It would be great to view the room and meet the prospective housemate and cat.


Best Wishes

Liz

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
