Looking for a someone to join me in a lovely Balham flat!

My current flatmate will soon be moving in with her boyfriend and (sadly!) parting with the a lovely double bedroom in our lovely 2-bed flat.

We’d love to have a female professional aged 25-45 who’s easygoing, and likes to chat, but also values home as a place to rest and recharge. We keep the house very clean, so we would love someone who’s also clean and respectful.

The flat is well located on a lovely residential street, within walking distance of both Balham and Tooting Bec stations (8-10 minute walk) giving you easy access to both the Northern line tube and overground train services. It’s a great area with all of the amazing pubs, brunch spots and restaurants of Balham on your doorstep and green space at Tooting Common only a 7 mins walk away.

The flat is on the second floor of a large house which is split into 3 flats. Our neighbours are super friendly and both own their flats. We keep in touch with a shared group chat for our flat as well as the wider Brandreth road community chat.

You’d be sharing with Rachel (32) who works as an EA at a tech company. Rachel is a hybrid worker working from home 2 days a week.

There is space for a desk in the lounge/dining room if needed! The desk in the photo is Kristen's so will be taken when she moves out.

Rent is £1,200 plus bills at around £130 per month.

ROOM DETAILS:
📆 Move in date: around 14th August 2026.
🏡 £1,200 a month
📍 8-10 minute walk from Balham and Tooting Bec
⛅️ The room is bright, has a double bed, a chest of drawers.

Please send me a message with a bit about yourself. I am planning on doing viewing on 27th and 29th June.
Thanks!
