The house is in an idyllic setting with a huge garden between a park and allotment gardens at the end of a little lane. No neighbours!

The whole plot is just under half an acre.

It's about 5- 6 minutes to Penge East station- Victoria in 15 minutes from there, and about 10 minutes to Sydenham with trains and overground (Windrush Line) services. 5 minutes to a LIDL, Tesco Express, local coffee shops and about 15 minutes’ walk to a massive Sainsbury's.

The options in the advertisement do not allow me to be accurate in terms of this is my house, I am there a few days to a week most months but generally I am out of the UK. So not a full-time live-in “landlord” but neither full-time live-out.

The room is on the ground floor, at the front of the house, getting morning sun but meaning it never gets stifling hot in the summer.

The room has blackout blinds and curtains
The room could be made unfurnished if necessary for a long term agreement.

The tenant has the near sole use of a shower room, also on the ground floor.
The only other user of that shower room would be me when/if I am in the UK. I am very fussy!

There is a very large kitchen with dishwasher, 6 burner professional gas hob, new double electric oven, combination microwave oven, double air fryer, a table seating six- eight, large double sink, and a 2 seater leather sofa for those cosy chats whilst cooking

2 large tall fridges and a tall freezer.

There is a separate utility room with 2 washing machines, dryer, dehumidifier, double sink and range of cupboards

Huge lounge backing onto the rear garden with 2 sofas and 3 armchairs and a smart tv another dining table and chairs.

Upstairs are 4 double bedrooms, a bathroom and and a shower room plus a small single guest bedroom.

If everyone is in the house that can total 6 people including me but that is a rare thing. I have sometimes returned for a couple of days and not seen more than one other.

The other tenants have been here for a while (most 5+ years) though we are not a "team"- all are very friendly and sociable and all very respectful of others. We are a mix of European nationalities.

A cleaner comes on Monday’s and a gardener comes once a week.
