The Rookery - double room in a creative home

AVAILABLE FEBRUARY 2026

King size room to let in a cosy, quirky home in the countryside market town of Eye.

Part Georgian, part Tudor terraced house with a pretty walled garden. On a quiet lane, called the Rookery. It’s the type of house you fall in love with and feel like you want to write a book in. Or which suddenly inspires you to make lots of jam and cakes. And drink many cups of coffee and glasses of wine.

It’s a 3 bedroom house.

Your room would be a king-sized sleepy room with a beautiful black decorative fireplace.

We will have another housemate also staying with us in my second double bedroom, who is lovely. Beth, 33, who works from home and likes crafting and cooking. I’ll be in the third smaller double room while you are here. I also work from home and travel quite a bit.

Our spaces to share include: a living room with a small log burner, a small library snug (when I’m not working in it), an open plan kitchen diner, 1 big shared bathroom (with a shower and bath) and a cellar utility room with a freezer and tumble dryer. It’s obviously heated and is a warm house in all ways.
I’m also working on turning a shed in the garden into a craft shed. There is space for one more bike in the bike shed.
I am looking for someone who generally works out of the house a lot of the time (as the two of us work at home already) and is looking for short term accommodation 3-6montha or less. Likely you are posted for work here on a short term contract. And have a base somewhere else so you dont have a lot of stuff to bring with you. Ideally planning to stay a few months but with an out date. That could be open to discussion if we all get on.

That’s not to sound unfriendly. We are very friendly. We’ve had three short term people staying with us and it’s worked out really well. We enjoy the change and the influx of new conversation. We generally take ot in turns cooking and eat together if you are keen. The reason for the above is there are already two of us working from home. And I let the third room when I’m away a lot but I don’t want a long term lodger in the third room when I’m here more often so I can more easily have guests to stay.

Fully furnished.
Bills included.
Short term lets only.
No pets.
I have everything (like kitchen stuff etc) if you want to use mine that’s probably easier. / preferable.

I’m 47 BTW but young at heart. I lived in London for a long time so I’m used to house sharing and I like the sense of community. I work remotely, as an immersive producer, from home ATM but I am also away a lot. The house is big enough that we won’t get in each others’ way if we are all there.

That being said it’s small enough that I’m looking for someone who we get on with and wants to spend some together when we are at home.

Eye is a lovely place to live I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s like being on holiday all the time somehow. It’s the type of place where everyone says hello to each other on the street. I have lovely neighbours. There is a bakers, butchers, chocolate shop, pub, two late night co-ops and the cutest deli in the world all 5 mins walk away. A charity shop, a cocktail bar, an antiques shop that rehomes old clocks back where they were originally made in East Anglia. Oh! And our own castle, which you can often have to yourself watching the sunset. Eye is kind of middle of nowhere but with everything you need, and actually the middle of everywhere as it’s closeish to the A140 and A143 whilst still being in the countryside.

I can only put 9 photos up on this ad which is no where near enough. Your room would be the one with the black fireplace. Best thing is give me a call and I can tell you more. I’m not in a hurry to find someone, it’s more an ad to catch the right person at the right time. I’m looking for someone who adds to the place and will be happy here.
