Any students want to live on a farm?

Hello, I currently have a farmhouse near Durham with a spare room and was wondering whether any students might be interested in it.

It's about a 15 minute drive from Durham, so you really need a car, but it's also very close to areas where my PGCE friends taught last year (Wingate, Coxhoe, Bowburn). It's a very nice place to live too - very peaceful, and we even have a log fire. There's even a stables, so you could bring a horse...

Anyway, if you're interested, there's more about the farm (and us) here:

If I was a single student headed to university, I would be all over this.

Perfect for a student wanting a unique experience.

If I had got into Durham I'd have moved there because of the puppy :3

Thanks! Personally, I probably wouldn't recommend it for a fresher - it's kinda difficult for nights out. It's great if you want a peaceful place to work though.

Hmm, maybe I should put a picture of him up. He is super cute.

This would have been fantastic for me I start my MA at Durham in 2 weeks but I just moved into my mums old house in West Cornforth with my cocker spaniel and two ex-bat hens; Miss Money Penny and Em haha! I'd have brought my Irish cob with too if I could have, but I think my neighbours already think I'm crackers! I'll share your advert on facebook anycase any postgrads I know fancy the opportunity.
Good luck finding someone if you haven't already.

This made me laugh. I'm going to Durham this year, having lived my whole life on a farm, and can't wait to got away and live in a town for the first time. It could be a fun experience for someone though, especially with the dog. :smile:

Hope you don't find me bumping this thread, but we have another room free for the new academic year. The rooms are huge and it's a very peaceful area, quite close to a lot of schools too, so it's ideal for PGCE students, but we've had a mix of students living here too.
