GardenLend

To kick-start the GardenLend House (and Garden) Swap forum I am adding my request for a mutual exchange to a ground floor flat with private garden access, in exchange for our 2nd floor flat with balcony.   We have registered with the first two exchange sites below, having set up the third due to our exasperation in being unable to find somewhere with a garden through more conventional means:

Our details

Property type:

Flat

Room details:

One bedroom

Features:

Balcony
Central Heating
Double Glazing

Landlord:

Wandle HA

Additional details:

This is a great flat with a long hallway with a good sized living room and bedroom, a smallish kitchen, a separate toilet and a bathroom all leading off. There’s additional storage space in the loft. The flat is located in a quiet cul de sac off Martin Way. It’s a stone’s throw from South Merton station, bus stops for Sutton and Wimbledon, and local shops (including a Post Office). It’s a 10 minute walk to central Morden (Morden Northern Line Underground Station) with its supermarkets, banks, bars and restaurants, and a 10 minute bus journey to Wimbledon with its huge shopping facilities. Rent is £87(including maintenance)per week (from 02.04.07). There’s a well - maintained communal garden and recycling bins are provided. It’s a good location with quiet neighbours in a pleasant area of Wimbledon. A bit shabby chic at the moment, the entire block is being refurbished externally next year, with significant improvements proposed such as secure storage areas for each flat (for bicycles etc.), extended bin facilities and enhancements to the balconies. We love it here but we need a garden.

Requirements:

The swapper is seeking a one bedroom bungalow, house, flat or maisonette, almost anywhere in the UK.

Additional requirements:

Private garden for own use. Ground floor or semi-basement. Close to shops, Post Office and public transport (bus / tube / train.) Within easy reach of river or canal preferred.

World food prices soar while you have an unproductive garden - does this make sense?  With allotments as rare as hen’s teeth these days, why not turn your garden into one?  Can’t be bothered or have no time? Join GardenLend and meet up with gardeners with no place to garden IN YOUR AREA and then you can both benefit from what your garden can produce.  With the economy in a downward spiral and food prices rising, doesn’t it make sense to maximize the value of your home by turning your plot into an old-fashioned kitchen garden?  You can grow fruit, vegetables and herbs - saving money and getting better quality than you can from supermarkets.  Your carbon footprint will be down and your feelgood factor up.  You can grow the basics that you use every day, or expensive produce like asparagus that will soon be even more of a treat than you’d like.  Join GardenLend and get growing.  Find a garden or a gardener on our site.  Help save the planet and your money too!
