Cosy double in sociable house near centre :)

Hi all!
We're in search of a new housemate, as ours is moving in with his partner. Bye Cam :(

This double room is towards the back of the house, garden facing, and away for traffic. It is the smallest bedroom in the house.

The room came unfurnished, but Cam is selling his furniture for £100 (we're admittedly only after people who are willing to buy these off them, as it would be difficult to shift these otherwise! Plus, you can always sell these yourself if/when you move out). This includes a double bed, mattress, desk, chest of drawers, bedside table, clothes rail, shelves, and mirrors. It is on the first floor.

The house is directly opposite the hill colleges, and is close to central Cambridge. There is a bus stop right outside, and we’re a ~15 minute bike ride from either the train station or science park. Resident parking permits can be bought for £75.

The house is well built, with loads of character (i. e not a shoddy new build). It has a sizable living room, with a monitor for films/series. Our kitchen is spacious and well-stocked, complete with a washing machine, dishwasher, gas hobs, and more. You'll even have your own designated shelf in our massive fridge! Additionally, we have a large garden where we hold barbecues and have gardening sessions.

The current tenants are Don and Grace – a biologist and a crop scientist. We have a range of interests, including running, rowing, reading, gigs, and watching films and television series. We hang out and eat together often, and often chat rubbish around the kitchen table, perhaps with a glass of wine/tap water. We often go out for meals/coffee, either planned or impromptu! However, we also respect the need for time to unwind, and be by ourselves.

The contract starts on 1st of August, with rent being £480/month. We estimate bills and council tax to come to £150 per person. Deposit is £675 (not £550!). The private landlord is responsive and understanding, and is quick with any issues we have. The contract is for minimum 6 months, so we’d like to find somebody we could really get along with. We're after somebody around the same age as us.

Feel free to contact us with any questions, and include a small description about yourself in your initial message if you’re interested!

***We're advertising another room in the house on another account, turns out we have to pay to put up two adverts on this one - give it a look!***

Thanks for reading!
Don
