Hello, everyone! Two of our housemates are moving out of our 4-bed house in East Chesterton, so we are looking for two people to take their place!

We're located in a leafy part or Cambridge, just round the corner from the river, and a 10-minute cycle to the centre of town. As the house has a large garden, we often grow (and try not to kill) things like pumpkins, potatoes, and berries. We now even have a greenhouse after a fortunate freecycle ad and a lot of manual labour.

We have succeeded in befriending Tiggy* and Smudges**—two of the neighbourhood cats—who like to pop round from time to time. Amenities include a washing machine and shiny new tumble dryer (also a rotary dryer in the garden), one main bathroom plus a downstairs toilet and basin, a Smart TV, dining room that doubles as a beer pong room, a kettle (plus multiple back-up kettles in case of emergencies), a 3D printer built out of k’nex†, and a sprinkler system connected to the internet††.

Rent is £525/month for either room, which includes all bills. The current housemates who will be staying on are Amanda (PhD student - working on a gene therapy to better treat HIV) and me (Finlay - Electronics Engineer, Camcycle Trustee).

We're looking for clean⁰, friendly¹ housemates who are looking for a home rather than just a room².

Let us know if you’re interested!

* Seems grumpy but visits all the time so we presume he must like us

** Very sweet and friendly

† It sort of works - sometimes.

†† DIY project, mostly works, sometimes explodes

⁰ Nothing ridiculous - we have bikes in the living room - but does their fair share of vacuuming, gives the counter a quick wipe down after cooking, empties the dryer lint so the house doesn't burn down.

¹ Pub? Pub. Pub! Probably not Revs though.

² You do get a room though. This isn't London, you aren't getting an air mattress in the kitchen.
