Room in a Shared House, Withindale Lane, CO10

The "Impulse Engine Room" is a first floor double room (all bills included) with an en suite bathroom (16 metres square the two). The room overlooks the river Stour to the north north east as it flows directly toward the room's window. 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 170 metres of river frontage) beside the beautiful village of Long Melford. 

The property benefits from off street parking, gas central heating (the boiler is newish) and a fruitful apple and pear orchard. 

The £760 per month (+£50 per month for a couple) room is on the first floor. The en suite bathroom has a white marble floor and a bath but not a shower. There is one shower and two wet rooms in the property which could be made available but they are not en suite. The floor is varnished pine.

Breaking the bills down (for your information) and amortising between a putative six inhabitants the council tax comes to £60 per month, the water bill £8 per month, the power bill circa £140 per month, £7 for the (optical fibre) internet and £50 for gardening, being £265 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 lady entrepreneur, a forty something website designing gentleman entrepreneur who performs gymnastics in the (waterless) swimming pool, a sixty something gentleman online games (Bull Run also known as Manassas Junction 1861 - advertising due to begin in July 2024), and hopefully, Time Machine inventor-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 forty something, cellist and music editor, a thirty something performer-casual worker of private means, a fifty something earth loving (!) care-worker-sage and, from time to time, particular friends of the aforementioned five (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, libertarians (very approved of), physicists in need of a transluminal-travel project, 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).  

The Room is offered to single persons or couples. As the property is also a home-office, under sevens, or others liable to make loud noises erratically, are frowned on (even if not quite forbidden).
