Large double room in a beautiful location

Hi, my name is Sylvie. My lovely house mate is moving out, so I am in search of another.

On offer is a large double bedroom on the second floor of an end of terrace cottage, giving you lots of space and privacy.


The house is located in a peaceful property, which is situated in a beautiful area with friendly and helpful neighbours. Within walking distance of Grantchester, and a 13-minute cycle to Cambridge city centre, this room would be ideal for a non-smoking professional that would be happy to become friends with me and a visiting cat.


The space available to rent consists of:

• a double bedroom - approx. 14ft x 10ft / 4m x 3m

+ sharing the rest of the house.

The room on offer is available part-furnished or unfurnished. Part-furnished consists one double bed, one single bed, one chest of drawers, two bedside tables and one cabinet to pick and choose.


We would share the rest of the house which consists of a dining room/sitting room and a fully fitted kitchen leading to a big shared garden on the ground floor, a large bathroom on the first floor, and a study/guest bedroom on the second. There is also locked storage for bicycles outside and off street parking.


The monthly cost comprises of:

• £590 rent; plus

• shared bills (water, gas and electricity, council tax, TV license and broadband)

The property is currently let through Cheffins and they will require a security deposit of £675 from you on signing the contract.


The house is very conveniently situated, being:

• a 13 min cycle to Cambridge city centre;

• a 11 min cycle to the railway station;

• a 11 min cycle to Addenbrookes hospital/Biomedical Campus;

• a 10 min cycle to Botanic Gardens;

• a 10 min walk/5 min cycle to Grantchester (4 min to The Orchard Tea Garden);

• a 5 min walk/2 min cycle to Waitrose supermarket;

• a 5 min drive to M11; and

• a 10 min walk/4 min cycle to Trumpington Park & Ride, where buses to city centre run every 10 min.


To give you a little information about me: I work for Cambridge University Press. I love everything and anything Italian. I practice traditional Okinawan karate. And I will try new things with excitement. I have been living in the Cambridgeshire area for 14 years and I have been lucky to have made great friends through renting with others. I am easy going, friendly and considerate so I hope you will feel like this house is not just a place to live but a home to come to.

The room is only available as a single tenancy. However, partners, friends and family are more than welcome to stay over and visit.
Please feel free to contact me if there is anything you would like to know. I am very happy to chat.


I have got a few short films (like a virtual tour) if you would like to have a closer look, or a safe viewing with a free roam around the house can be arranged - just send me your full name, and a short note.


I wish you the best of luck with your room search,


Sylvie
