Beautiful, spacious, sunny studio in Newnham.

Description

I am looking for someone to sublet my flat while I am away for five months (1 December 2025 until roughly 10 May 2026). There’s some slight flexibility around the exact date of my return in May, but it would be after 5 May. Ideally, I would be looking for someone willing to look after my sweet and cuddly cat in the apartment, but I can find an alternate cat care option if that doesn’t suit you. The apartment is located in Newnham and is a quiet, sunny studio above my landlords’ garage. (The garage is used for storage only, so there is no noise from cars, etc.) It’s self-contained with a private entrance, kitchen, bathroom with tub and shower combo, and in-unit washing machine for laundry. It’s nicely set up and furnished, with a single-sized bed with extra trundle bed beneath, a fold-out sofa bed, a dining table and chairs, a desk, and ample cupboards and chest of drawers. The location is great: right near the start of the walking path towards Grantchester via the meadows and very close to local shops and amenities, including a Coop, a pharmacy, a post office/convenience store bursting at the seams with both food and stationary, one of the best artisanal coffee shops in Cambridge, and an excellent French bakery. It’s a short cycle ride or 20-minute walk to college, and a 20 minute walk or easy 7-ish minute cycle ride to the city center via mostly dedicated cycle paths. The flat is very cozy (well heated and insulated, which is great in the cooler months!), and my landlords are absolutely lovely and happy to feed the cats for a few days when I go away, so there is a little bit of flexibility if you would love to live with cats but need to travel from time to time.
