Room in a Shared House, Withindale Lane, CO10

The "commodore's cabin" first floor double room (all bills included) with en suite bathroom (40 metres square the two) is  available. The room overlooks the river Stour to the north as it flows directly toward the house, slightly to the side of the room's north north east facing window. It is lit from two sides and is not un-beautiful. 

The room is in a shared house built 1805 of 440 square metres internal floor area set in peaceful and secluded grounds within the dale (with 140 metres of river frontage) beside the beautiful village of Long Melford and is available to singles or couples. 

The property benefits from off street parking, gas central heating, a fruitful apple and pear orchard and raspberry plants at the back of the house.

The Commodore's cabin is £870 per month (all bills included)

Breaking the bills down (for your information) and amortising between a putative six inhabitants the council tax comes to £70 per month, the water bill £8 per month, the power bill circa £129 per month, £6 for the (optical fibre) internet and £42 for gardening, being £255 per lodger for all the bills. This breakdown is simply for comparison with landlords who charge bills separately. The rent does include all the bills. 

The property is peradventure shared with a forty something website designing gentleman entrepreneur who performs gymnastics in the (waterless) swimming pool (gym), a sixty something gentleman online games (Bull Run also known as Manassas Junction 1861), and hopefully, Time Machine inventing-landlord (M.A. Cantab), a fifty something Kiwi (Orthodox) Reverend Doctor software-engineer-priest-lawyer (who is actually resident in the Old Garage) but is often to be found, in the atrium, thrashing the landlord at a game of Korea, the twenty something quality control engineeress, a thirty something manual worker of private means and his forty something bookkeeping Ukrainian girl-friend, and two twenty something professionals, including a statistician working for the medical research council, who are a couple, and a twenty something computer scientist and, from time to time, particular friends of the aforementioned seven (the landlord being, naturally, friendless!) without whom the collective would be incomplete. For your information board gamers (depending on the game, so not go, scrabble, monopoly, cludo or chess!!) would not, by a significant minority of the inhabitants, be frowned on and nor would piano players and classical musicians, libertarians (very approved of), history graduates, singers or apostles of the free market. As for those who think the world is going to Hades in a hand basket, who are more worried about global warming and overpopulation than the coming ice age and underpopulation, who would wisely decline to lay down their life for private property rights being extended to the asteroid belt and Mars or who simply like to party they would be more than welcome to put their case to a sceptical audience (which might include a majority of sympathisers).
