Hi, we are a friendly creative couple who get on well with our flatmates/lodgres, many of whom have become good friends over the years.

We work in the coffee industry and digital marketing and love to travel, hang out in local places, watch movies, walk our lovely dog and visit family and friends in London and further afield. Our home is a beautiful place we enjoy sharing with flatmates/lodgers. It has a positive, no-drama vibe, which is important to us. It’s got lots of plants, is kept clean and tidy, and we are looking for two more lovely, self-aware humans to add to this communal feel of the house. If you value your space, your mental health, and a home where you can enjoy a healthy, balanced life, this could be a good spot to stop & breathe in.

We’ve a gorgeous, bright, and airy double room (for one person). Overlooking the back garden in a big Georgian house. Monthly cost is £1250 including bills (electricity, gas, water, broadband, council tax and the cost of a cleaner coming each week to clean all shared areas of the house.) 

The Room:
- Is a generous double bedroom for one person, thoughtfully decorated
- Beautiful, large sash window with leafy views and natural light
- High ceilings, a cosy carpet, central heating, and blackout blinds/curtains for the best sleep
- Built-in wardrobes with sensor lighting, plus chests of drawers for decent storage
- Desk and chair
- Comfortable low double bed you can actually stretch out in
- Enough floor space for your Pilates/ yoga practice

The house:

- it’s a big, light and airy with real personality, (Georgian period) lots of art, plants and books
- cleaned professionally every week, is tidy, and homely
- with great central heating and ventilation in the summer
- all rooms have lovely big sash windows 
- It is on a quiet road and has a lovely back garden 

Dining/ lounge: Round designer “tulip” dining table in the high-ceiling dining/living room with a great bay window overlooking the back garden and a couple of generous 3 person sofas to chill in and chat, or just chill.

Kitchen: Big and light, with lots of space to prepare your meals, there's an AGA cooker, 2 fridge/freezers, dishwasher, washing machine and the kitchen overlooks and open out to the private back garden.

Bathroom: Your bathroom is large with a bath/shower, basin and WC as well as underfloor heating, generous storage space and towel heater. There's a WC on the ground floor, too. And we have another bathroom that two of us use.

Garden: We have a great back garden with table and chairs, a front garden with storage space for 2 bikes and great front stoop steps for sitting out on a sunny day watching the world go by with a hot cup of coffee/tea.
 

The neighbourhood: Camberwell Grove, if you’re not familiar with it, is a beautiful road with huge old trees, and it’s a friendly creative neighbourhood. We know all our neighbours and love the friendly vibe and good energy. It’s close to East Dulwich, Peckham and Brixton and close to loads of parks.

Transport links are:
Denmark Hill (4 mins) to Farringdon, Victoria, and East London, as well as East Dulwich station (7 mins), has trains to London Bridge. Buses 40, 185, and 176 run right to the end of our road, and it's a well-serviced area in terms of shops and quick trips to Brixton, Peckham, and Elephant and Castle.

    • But actually, replacing council housing, or more accurately adding to housing stock and doing so via expanding council estates was precisely what we should have been doing, financed by selling off old housing stock. As the population grows adding to housing built by councils is surely the right thing to do, and financing it through sales is a good model, it's the one commercial house builders follow for instance. In the end the issue is about having the right volumes of the appropriate sort of housing to meet national needs. Thatcher stopped that by forbidding councils to use sales revenues to increase housing stock. That was the error. 
    • Had council stock not been sold off then it wouldn't have needed replacing. Whilst I agree that the prohibition on spending revenue from sales on new council housing was a contributory factor, where, in places where building land is scarce and expensive such as London, would these replacement homes have been built. Don't mention infill land! The whole right to buy issue made me so angry when it was introduced and I'm still fuming 40 odd years later. If I could see it was just creating problems for the future, how come Thatcher didn't. I suspect though she did, was more interested in buying votes, and just didn't care about a scarcity of housing impacting the next generations.
    • Actually I don't think so. What caused the problem was the ban on councils using the revenues from sales to build more houses. Had councils been able to reinvest in more housing then we would have had a boom in building. And councils would have been relieved, through the sales, of the cost of maintaining old housing stock. Thatcher believed that council tenants didn't vote Conservative, and home owners did. Which may have been, at the time a correct assumption. But it was the ban on councils building more from the sales revenues which was the real killer here. Not the sales themselves. 
    • I agree with Jenjenjen. Guarantees are provided for works and services actually carried out; they are not an insurance policy for leaks anywhere else on the roof. Assuming that the rendering at the chimney stopped the leak that you asked the roofer to repair, then the guarantee will cover that rendering work. Indeed, if at some time in the future it leaked again at that exact same spot but by another cause, that would not be covered. Failure of rendering around a chimney is pretty common so, if re-rendering did resolve that leak, there is no particular reason to link it to the holes in the felt elsewhere across the roof.
