2 Bed Flat, Tressillian Road, SE4

Available from 19 March 2017.  

This lovely flat is absolutely huge, has high ceilings, neutral decor so you can put your own mark on it with your own furnishings.  It has to be seen for its true size and potential  to be to be appreciated.  Suffice to say that every time it has been available to rent, the first viewers have snapped it up. 

Please note:  The property will be provided unfurnished - pictures show it furnished so that you can get a better idea of the size of the rooms and potential furniture layouts.  (note that even the smallest bedroom can accommodate 3 single beds with plenty of spare space for bedroom furniture!) 

Located in a leafy, tree lined road 2  mins walk from Hillyfields open space,  in the Brockley Conservation area (TFL zone 2),  although this property has the appearance of a Victorian conversion, it was actually purpose built as 2 self contained flats in 1956 or so, in a Victorian style in keeping with the other properties in the road.  Therefore this lovely ground floor flat has its own front door and shares no shared interior space with flat upstairs, which also has its own front door.  

Please note we don't have allocated parking space but the flat is in a quiet road with no parking restrictions and very little passing traffic and it is normally very easy to find parking space within a few meters of the flat.

After an initial 6 month letting to ensure all parties are happy, we would be looking to extend with a view to a long term letting.

The two large double bedrooms are similar size.  (One room can be used as a home office/study or dining room if preferred), bathroom, lounge, kitchen PLUS a your very own easy maintenance private garden.

Details

Huge light filled Lounge (18ft x 14.6ft/ 5.5 x 4/4 m); open grate fireplace (decorative only, not functional but looks pretty).  Large Bay window plus sash window provides plenty of natural light.   The size of this lounge gives you plenty of options for furniture layout.

Double bedroom (1) approx. 15’ 9” x 11’ 6” - with double glazed patio doors out onto sunny garden.  A lovely large room which can easiy accommodate a king size bed, wardrobes etc and a nice view of the garden.   This would also make a great dining room or home office space.

Double bedroom (2) approx. 15’6” x 11’4” - Another large room with plenty of space - can be used as king size bedroom or large dining room, office or whatever you require.  Plenty of space for wardrobes, bedside tables etc.  (see pics - we fitted 3 x single beds in this room, (which is the smaller of the two) and each bed still had space to walk around and bedside tables and wardrobes) 

Kitchen approx. 12ft x 9ft - Fully fitted with integrated appliances; washing machine/dryer, dishwasher, fridge freezer, range of floor and wall cupboards, gas hob /electric oven/microwave, extractor fan

• All white goods, plumbing and boiler are covered by breakdown insurance paid for by landlord  
  

Bathroom 8ft x 6ft approx. – white tiled walls with decorative tiled panel over shower, large
P-Shape bath, shower with mixer, WC, mirrored bathroom cabinet with shaver socket, automatic vent axia fan.   Unlimited hot water supplied on demand by condensing boiler.

There is a large store cupboard in the hallway plus a large understairs cupboard for vacuum cleaner etc.  

Wifi contract with Plusnet can be taken over by tenant if required (40 mb Fibre broadband) £33 per month, to ensure no breaks in service

The hallway is wide and large .  Bicycles may be stored inside the house.  

Full central heating throughout plus hot water provided by modern condensing boiler.

Wood laminate flooring throughout - easy to keep clean and tidy.

Plenty of electrical sockets throughout

Circuit breakers/ smoke detectors  fitted for tenants safety; kitchen is on a separate circuit

Central heating can be controlled remotely from your phone with a Hive type ap. (ie if you are out and you've left the heating on high, it's not a disaster, you can turn it down remotely. ) 

We also own the flat upstairs and are keen to maintain good relationships between both sets of occupants

The flat has its own private section of gravelled, easy maintenance sunny garden, surrounded by trees.  This lovely little suntrap private space, which is great for summer BBQs or just catching the rays, is accessed from patio doors from one of the bedrooms (although this room could be used as an office or dining room) 

We are looking for tenants who are respectful and wish to live in harmony with their neighbours; the tenant of the upper flat is quiet and respectful of downstairs neighbours and we'd like similar people for the downstairs flat.   People with a 'party lifestyle' are unlikely to be compatible with our neighbours.  We are looking for a couple or a maximum of 2 sharers and after a first term rental term of 6 months (to ensure everyone is happy with the tenancy) we'd be happy to extend the tenancy with a view to long term tenants.
