Bells Court, Cambridge, CB3

Property Reference: 2058623.

One garret, the Captain's Cabin,  in a circa 1775 grade II listed semi-detached house from 03-Jul-24.

Located 150 metres from Magdalene College Porters Lodge on Castle Hill opposite the Castle Mound.

Modernisation since 2022
     • In March 2022 the lower stairs were repaired and in May 2022 re-recarpeted. A new bannister rope was hung 16-Jun-22 2022 and the tumble drier animal flap (very important!) was re-affixed to the drier vent hole. 
     • In June 2022 A new toilet pan was installed and guide wires were affixed to the yard walls for the four climbing roses recently planted.
     • In May 2023 the kitchen table was replaced with something more compact, the too small space for the old tumble drier was converted into a hoover garage and a new larger tumble drier was installed with a more robust rope banister replacing the less robust, frayed one year old one. It already needs replacing but it is intended this will be done with a longer lasting wooden banister rail in June 2024 as has already been done with the dog leg. 
    • In June 2023 the bathroom floor was, with ceramic tile, two thirds relayed. The climbing roses survived the aphid ridden winter and spring and guide wires were therefore extended at right angles to the yard rear wall between the fence posts leading to the back wall of the house with the aim of turning the yard, in due course, into an arbour for roses and to that end new tenants will be asked to agree not to park bicycles in the yard. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT RENT IS PARTIALLY DUE IN ADVANCE

Rent is paid four months in advance (though there is no deposit) with the first four months due, before moving in, to complete the contract and then recurring payments monthly thereafter (commencing from the first quarter of month two with no payments, therefore, at the back end of the term of the contract). 

For payment 10-12 months in advance there will be a 4% discount.

Please Note This Is A Room In A Shared Accommodation.
  
The property is shared with three other tenants (one fifty something gentleman trainee accountant with a part time interest in botany, a twenty something University of Cambridge lady postgraduate student in the creative writing department and a gentleman twenty something postgraduate in the mathematics department). 

Owing to the elegant sufficiency of space in the house, and in particular the presence of just one bathroom, in other words for the benefit of the other inhabitants, the room is not offered to couples. 

• The Captain's Cabin (available for GBP 825) is on the second floor. Available from 03-Jul-2024 for GBP 825) 2.1 x 3.2 metres (6.7 square metres) has a pine floor. A 2.2 x 0.92 m Japanese style (it means low) bed (15% longer than a single and 2% wider). The room benefits from a built in L shaped desk, small wardrobe, port hole window, dormer window over-looking the roof of King’s College (albeit at a distance) central heating and air conditioning. Arguably the room is less suited to those of great height or those who might find surmounting a compact spiral staircases difficult.
