Lovely Room In Abington

About the house and room

This is a large and lovely Victorian house with plenty of character — high ceilings, big windows, and lots of space. It’s currently going through a thoughtful refresh: brand-new windows and doors have just been fitted throughout, and the available bedroom has been newly decorated and feels bright, spacious, and calm, with good storage and a very pleasant atmosphere.

The house is within easy walking distance of the hospital, university, and town centre, as well as Abington Park. It’s peaceful and comfortable rather than busy or noisy — definitely not a student house or one with people constantly coming and going. You’d be sharing with just one person: a single professional who’s very focused on running a fast-growing e-commerce business and would welcome someone who’s good company and brings a bit of positive energy to the place.

The kitchen has just been expanded by knocking two rooms into one (chimneys removed, structural work done), so it’s now a much larger and more sociable space. It’s fully functional but currently in transition — the final layout and new kitchen fit-out are still being decided. Likewise, the garden is in the process of being landscaped, so if you have an eye for design or an interest in home improvement projects, you’d probably enjoy being here and seeing it all come together.

Because the rent is set at a very reasonable rate — the last time this room was rented out it was £795/month, ten years ago — there’s likely to be a lot of interest. It’s probably not for everyone, but it will suit someone organised, considerate, and easy to live with; someone who values a calm, relaxed home environment and might even enjoy helping the house continue its gradual transformation.

If you’re naturally tidy, positive, and perhaps inclined to encourage a bit more balance away from work (fitness or other interests welcome!), you’ll likely fit in well!

About you

So you are this tidy and considerate person — and someone who enjoys living in a calm, well-kept home rather than a busy house share. You take pride in your surroundings and appreciate the character of an older house that’s gradually being brought up to date.

If you’re the kind of person who likes things organised, enjoys seeing projects take shape, or simply brings a bit of positive energy and good conversation that will be excellent as well.
