Room available in a 4-bedroom house — Romsey

Hello everyone!

We're three third-year PhD students looking for a fourth housemate to complete the group.

About us: We are easygoing, laid-back, nice people wanting a peaceful and friendy environment :) We like sharing our time together at dinner and chatting after a long working day, but we are also respectful of each other space and privacy. We would like to have with us a person sharing our vibe. We are going to move in mid-August from our current house, but the house is already available if you wish to move in before then.

We are looking for:
1 Flatmate from August on
1 Flatmate from October on (I am moving out to pursue my post-doc elsewhere)

Rent: £2,780 per month for the whole house. The advertised price is the average per room (roughly £695 each). Council tax band C.

Location: A superb Victorian terrace over two floors on a quiet street (Romsey Terrace), just off the ever-popular Mill Road. Walking distance to the city centre (10 minutes) and the train station (5 minutes), with all the shops just round the corner (Coop, pharmacy). On-street parking (no permit required) and secure bike storage via side access to the rear garden.

The house: Completely renovated in late 2017 (carpets, walls, appliances and garden), with a new wifi-controlled remote boiler (2021) and a new fridge and washing machine (2022). Modern kitchen and conveniences, plus a medium-sized, well-kept garden.

Safety: Fully compliant with fire and safety regulations — interlinked mains-connected fire and smoke alarms, fire doors, and a fire blanket. Appliances and heating are covered by British Gas home insurance, included in the rent. Inspected and approved by Cambridge City Council.

Who it suits: Ideal for young professionals, PhDs, post-docs and visiting academics, but we welcome everyone. Please note each room is for one person only, so couples would need to rent two rooms.

Please contact us via shareroom for further details.

We are looking forward to hearing from you! xx
