Video of the room available on request

This is a beautiful Georgian ground-floor apartment with high ceilings, original wooden floors, ornate ceiling roses, and large shuttered sash windows. Lovingly redecorated over the past year, it’s a bright, peaceful home full of character and charm.

Rent & Value
£800 per month including all bills - gas, electric, water, broadband, council tax (C), and TV licence.

You’ll also have full use of all appliances - dishwasher, washing machine, hoover, dryer, etc - and bedding, towels, and kitchenware can be provided if required.

That means zero hidden costs.
Comparable rooms in nearby villages typically cost £900 - £1,050/month once bills are added - so £800 all-in for a large, high-quality room in Cottenham represents excellent value.

With everything included, the room itself comes to around £120 per week.

About the Household
You’ll be sharing with a friendly, considerate teacher. My 16-year-old daughter stays with me every other week, so I’m looking for a like-minded female professional who is easy-going, independent, responsible, and comfortable in a calm, family-friendly home.
