Room in a Shared House, Levana Close, SW19

Upgrade your house share and enjoy space in a newly refurbished property with the private enjoyment of a south-facing rooftop terrace.

This is your ultimate step up in quality before living on your own. Weekly cleaning included. 

The Area

This three-bedroom terraced house is situated in a lovely cul-de-sac location off Victoria Drive, where you can enjoy the quietness of a residential area with limited traffic and 20-mile-an-hour speed limits.

It is within walking distance of Southfields Village with its shops, library, restaurants and other amenities, including the District Line tube station. The open spaces of Wimbledon Common and Wimbledon Park, with their various recreational facilities, are only a few blocks away.

The closest shop is a Co-op Food outlet within a 7-minute walk.

You will also have the chance to experience the buzz and excitement during the Wimbledon Tennis Grand Slam tournament every July and maybe bump into a tennis player on your way to a coffee shop…as you would become a SW19 resident!

Southfields is a highly desirable location, as it is perfectly connected to commute in and out of London:

-              Bus 39 bus stop is located just one minute from your doorstep and brings you to Clapham Junction or Putney Bridge

-              District Line Southfields Tube station is only about ten minutes away walking or even less if you take the bus 39

-              Putney train station is 15 minutes away with bus 39 and connects you with Vauxhall or Waterloo in no time with remarkable frequency

-              Clapham Junction train station is 24 minutes away with bus 39 and offers you even more connections

-              By car, the A3 is less than 5 minutes away to drive towards Guildford, Weybridge and the wider Surrey area

The Property

This is a three-bedroom terraced house that offers comfortable accommodation over three floors, and it has just been entirely re-decorated, including brand-new wooden flooring on the ground floor.

It has a locked gate at the entrance for additional safety and door opening for answering deliveries. Combined with a high-quality door equipped with trusted Banham double locks, you are moving into a secure home.

The ground floor is a large communal space with an equipped open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting areas, including three high chairs to eat in the bar area.

Additional appliances include a dishwasher, washer-dryer and microwave oven.

The conservatory gives access to the rear backyard where you can enjoy the outdoor smell of jasmine surrounded by vegetation on the fences or grill your meat on the BBQ.

There is also a downstairs WC equipped with an integrated bidet washing and drying ‘Japanese Style’ system.

The TV on the extensible wall mount is equipped with an Apple TV device, which allows you to connect with your favourite streaming accounts and is connected to a sound system feeding four high-end ceiling speakers in the conservatory above the sofas for immersive TV watching and two large speakers for the dining area and kitchen for ambient music.

There is one shared bathroom on the first floor with a skylight for natural light. It has a bathtub and toilets, with anti-steam heated mirrored cupboards and your dedicated space to store your toiletries.

There is allocated off-street parking for one car, which should be arranged with your other housemate about usage. I won’t need it.

Smoking is allowed outdoors. 

What makes this house share special?

Although there are three bedrooms, this is a house share in which you will mostly cohabitate with one other person. I have moved out of London with my family and will commute every two weeks for work to stay from Monday evening to Friday morning. This means that you will enjoy the house almost every weekend of the year as a two-person house share – I may have to stay on the odd occasion.  

Your room

This is the only room on the top floor, and it enjoys the most light in the house. It offers direct and private access to the decked rooftop terrace, which is south-facing and has an outdoor shower—perfect for rinsing off that sweat after a sun-tanning session!

It is large enough for a double bed plus a desk and has a wall-mounted smart TV with a Blu-ray player. Perfect for a movie night in your own room!

It has enough storage space so that you don’t need any wardrobe or chest drawers.

The room is currently unfurnished for people who wish to come with their own stuff. Furnishing could be arranged upon request.

The charges

Your contribution for full-time room usage is £267.99 pcm in addition to the monthly rent. This includes council tax, water and energy utilities, broadband, TV license, home insurance (building and content), insurance for dishwasher and washer-dryer, and 4-hour weekly cleaning.

Charges may increase in price in the future, but I will provide a full breakdown of the cost allocation to explain any rise.

How to apply?

Register your interest on the OpenRent website so that we can arrange a first meeting over video conference to get to know each other and assess chemistry.

A visit to the property can be arranged on w/c September 30th, when we are back in London.

There is a similar listing for the other room on the 1st floor at a £100 lower rental cost, which does not have access to the rooftop terrace.
