Please read the full description before enquiring, as we are looking for a specific fit for our home.

We are offering a larger-than-average, elegant double room in a beautiful family house. The location is ideal for Addenbrooke’s, and all bills are included.

The Household
We are a quiet and respectful family consisting of a live-in landlady and a nine-year-old. We lead active lives and are often out with friends and family; when home, we value our downtime and a peaceful environment. I primarily work from home, and my daughter is at school during the week. She is well-versed in respecting guests’ boundaries and understands that your room is your private sanctuary.

About You
We are looking for a mature, clean, and tidy female professional who is independent and autonomous. We value a friendly "hello", but we are primarily looking for someone who enjoys their own company and has their own established social life outside of the house.

Availability & Requirements

Schedule: We are prioritising a Monday–Friday let, or someone who spends the majority of their weekends away. We value having the house as a private family space during the weekend.

Working Life:
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate full-time working from home.

Independence:
Ideally, you are someone who appreciates a quiet, calm atmosphere and is happy to "do your own thing."

Children & Pets:
It is essential that you are comfortable living with a child. Our nine-year-old is a "big character" and may chat occasionally, so a natural, easy-going attitude toward children is a must. Small pets may be considered.

Standards:
We take pride in our home and look for a housemate who is naturally responsible—cleaning up after themselves, managing their own bins, and maintaining the high standard of the shared spaces.
