We have the best of both worlds... near ancient woodland and Oxley's Park with a hill that looks over 7 counties, but also a 7 minute bus ride to buzzing Woolwich and the Elizabeth line which take you to Tottenham Court Road in central London in 20 minutes. I'm a theatre director and my boyfriend is a musician and Phd Student. We have two gorgeous cats - a grey tabby called Django and a bengal called Fitz.
We can offer a cosy single room with cupboard. Plus use of all shared spaces - a bathroom, music room with piano and guitars if you play, a front room with TV, a quiet study to work, a country cottage kitchen, romantic dining room and a large garden which we're slowly creating into a little idyl. The terrace has a bbq you're welcome to use too.

About the Area
Plumstead has a great village quality with local shops including a craft beer shop, small supermarket, two family run cafés overlooking the common, a great beauty parlour, 4 pubs- who with live music. Nearby we have Oxley's wood with an ancient deciduous forest, and Bostall Heath and Wood which is part of the Green Chain Walk network.
In nearby Woolwich there's many things to do- great restaurants (our favourite Viet Baguette) and bars (SALT!) plus a huge Tesco for everything you might want, the River Thames for walks, leisure centres and Woolwich Works - a fantastic arts venue home to Carlos Acosta's dance foundation. The Elizabeth line gets you right into the centre of town in a quick and stress free way.
