This is a lovely two bedroom house located near the central train station, close to both university campuses (Cambridge and ARU). My family and I will be away for 18 days in August and are looking for someone who would enjoy our house, the beautiful landscaped garden, and our cat's company. As part of the housesit, we would need someone happy to feed our cat Petrushka twice a day and water the plants when it gets hot. My priority is to find the right person who would enjoy the house and our cat's company, hence the low price. A discounted rate is negotiable for single occupancy. There is a master bedroom with a double bed, a smaller room with a single bed (suitable for young children as there is a safety rail), and an upstairs bathrooom. Downstairs the front room doubles up as a study, with a spacious study desk and monitor where you can plug in your laptop, an ergonomic chair and footrest, and daylight lighting. The living room has a large sofa, two lounging chairs, an electric piano, and a CD and record player. The kitchen has lots of natural light, a beautiful wood table, and all the amenities, including a washer / dryer, a dishwasher, induction plates, oven, and microwave. The kitchen/dining area opens onto a patio with table and chairs, parasol, and a lush landscaped garden, perfect for having breakfast in the summer. The neighbourhood is lovely: a quiet family street, close to shops, cafes and restaurants (5-10 min walk). This includes the local Co-op, M&S, Asda, and LIDL; several pizzeria/Italian restaurants; a cocktail bar; and a friendly local pub. All the university's sites are accessible either on foot (approx 40 min) or by bike (15-20 min depending how fast you are!) There is the option to borrow my bike and there is also a bus route nearby.
