Description
A bright double room is available in my semi‑detached home, located within a quiet gated community of six houses built in 2010. I’m looking for a new housemate as my current one is relocating abroad.
Key Info
• Elmers End Station - 8 min walk (regular trains to London Bridge in ~25 mins)
• Excellent bus links to Beckenham, Bromley, Crystal Palace, Orpington and beyond
• Peaceful gated development, set back from the main road
• Local restaurants, cafés and shops nearby, plus a large Tesco Extra a 10 min walk away
• EPC rating: C; Council tax band: D
• All bills are included
The Room
• Fully furnished double room with large built‑in wardrobes, double bed and shelving
• Desk and chair provided - ideal for hybrid working (not pictured, but provided!)
• Bright, comfortable and ready to move into (see photos)
The Home
• Spacious, fully equipped kitchen with a separate dining area
• Two bathrooms - one on each floor
• Underfloor heating downstairs, radiators upstairs
• Large, well-maintained shared garden
• Calm, friendly environment — perfect for a professional who values a peaceful home
The Landlord
• I bought the property in 2024, and have spent the past year turning it from a house into a home.
• I work as a software engineer in finance, and go into the office 2-3 times a week.
• Outside of work, my interests include keeping fit (gym a few times a week), experimenting in the kitchen, and aerial photography.
Who I'm Looking For
• A working professional who’s tidy, respectful, and looking for a comfortable place to call home.
• The initial agreement would be for a few months, with the option to extend on a rolling basis if we get along well.
• Ideally someone with a similar working arrangement to mine (hybrid/office-based)
Availability
The room is available from May 2026.
If you have any questions or want to arrange a viewing, feel free to get in touch.
Thanks,
Collin
