Nice Room In a Friendly House Share

Hello! I’m Jacob

I work Monday–Friday in IT, I’m fairly tech-savvy, and I’m looking to rent out a furnished double bedroom in my four-bedroom home in Marlbrook, Bromsgrove.

I’ve been taking in lodgers for about 7 years now, and most people tend to stay around two years (or longer).

🛏️ The Room

Proper double bedroom with actual space

Large wardrobe, chest of drawers, desk & chair

Shared bathroom with just one other lodger (no queues for the bathroom!)

🏡 The House

The house is friendly, relaxed and drama-free. We can be sociable but are also very respectful of personal space.

I love:

Board games
Climbing
Photography
Travelling

A couple of people in the house are into cycling and climbing, so if you’re outdoorsy you’ll fit right in and welcome to join— but equally fine if your idea of exercise is walking to the fridge!

🍳 Shared Spaces

Comfy living room with big TV and enough seating for everyone

Dining room seating five

Big kitchen with loads of storage — you’ll get more than a single lonely shelf, I promise!

Large fridge/freezer with ice & water dispenser, breakfast bar, smoothie maker, and all the kitchen gear you’ll ever need. You genuinely don’t need to bring anything except food.

📍 Location

Barnt Green station – 5 min drive

Bromsgrove station – 10 min drive

~25 mins into Birmingham

Bus stop 3 mins walk

M42 & M5 nearby

Tesco Express and a solid local pub within walking distance

Lickey Hills 5 mins away (great for walks, bikes, or clearing your head!)

🚗 Parking

Off-road driveway parking

💷 Sensible But Necessary Details

£540 pcm all bills included

Deposit + one month’s rent required

Preferably employed (self-employed fine with proof of income)

No couples

No smoking indoors (outside is fine)

No large pets

Occasional overnight guests welcome (up to 3 nights a week)

Lodger agreement + Right to Rent check required

If this sounds like your kind of place, drop me a message and tell me a bit about yourself. Bonus points if you like board games, climbing or are outdoorsy! Looking forward to hearing from you.
