Bright double room in a top floor, furnished flat with a view to Kent and an often absent flatmate.
The beautiful Sydenham Hill/Dulwich Woods and Sydenham Wells Park are across the road, and the flat benefits from leafy surrounds on the housing association estate itself. You can also walk to Crystal Palace park in less than 10 minutes. The Green Chain walk connects them all, meaning you can walk from park to park across south London.
The flat is clean and simply furnished, giving you the space to add a desk or bookshelves if you like. It was completely redecorated recently, with a new bathroom and floors. It has a good kitchen and recently-serviced boiler.
It is well situated for someone who works at London Bridge or Canada Water or other stations on the Windrush line as Sydenham train station is around 15 minutes walk away or 3 minutes on the bus. A very pleasant walk across Dulwich Woods will get you to Sydenham Hill station in less than 15 minutes as well, from where you can get fast trains to London Victoria.
Lively Crystal Palace triangle with its pubs, restaurants and shops is about 20 minutes walk away, or 5 minutes on the bus. Up-and-coming Sydenham High Street is about the same distance in the other direction, and Forest Hill is not far either. The Dulwich Woodhouse pub is about 5 minutes walk along the road, and there is an independent shop that has most things one might need about 3 minutes walk down the hill.
The flat is in a fairly large, leafy 1960s ex-council estate, now managed by a housing association. The buildings are relatively far apart and most of the time, it’s surprisingly quiet.
I am often away, and am looking for a clean and tidy, reliable flatmate who will look after the flat like it is their own, in exchange for having the place to themselves most of the time. The flat is priced in between a whole flat rental and and a flat share with all the bills included, saving around £275 over renting alone. It is ideal for someone who doesn't really want to share but also doesn't want to pay London prices to have a place of their own.
Finally, please note, it’s hilly around here, which means both great views and plenty of uphill walking ‘fitness opportunities’ ;)
