Three housemates. One spare bedroom. A home with more history than anyone's willing to admit.
📍 13 Hollow Lane, Briarwick, England
£425 PCM · Bills Included · Fully Furnished
A room to call your own.
Finding somewhere affordable isn't easy. Finding somewhere affordable, beautiful, and occupied by three surprisingly welcoming housemates?
Well, that almost sounds too good to be true.
Tucked away on a quiet residential street in the English market town of Briarwick sits Number 13 Hollow Lane: a charming Victorian townhouse with creaking floorboards, a roaring fireplace, a slightly overgrown garden, and more books than any reasonable household could possibly need.
There's a spare bedroom upstairs, a kettle that's practically always boiling, and three residents looking for someone new to share their home.
🗝️ Meet the housemates
🍂 Evelyn Thorne, 29
The homeowner. Warm, organised, and perpetually armed with a cup of tea. Works at a local bookshop and takes household responsibilities very seriously. Makes excellent biscuits. Has a habit of muttering to herself when stressed.
🌙 Lilith Vale, 27-ish
The night owl. Works from home, collects vinyl records, and possesses an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of history. Charming, sarcastic, and occasionally impossible to embarrass. Rarely seen before sunset.
🌸 Maisie Bell, 24-ish
The resident bundle of energy. Loves old music, terrible films, video games, and meeting new people. Has an uncanny talent for appearing exactly when something interesting is happening.
✨ What you'll find
A fully furnished private bedroom.
A shared kitchen, bathroom, and comfortable living room.
A garden that's lovely when the weather cooperates.
Three housemates with very different personalities.
Cozy evenings, spontaneous adventures, and the occasional household disagreement over whose turn it is to wash up.
📜 A few house rules
Respect each other's privacy.
Clean up after yourself.
Don't go poking around in locked rooms.
If something seems strange, there's probably a perfectly reasonable explanation.
Probably.
Your story begins here.
You've found the advert. The rent is affordable. The location is convenient. And the house looks almost impossibly inviting.
Whether you're looking for a fresh start, a place to settle down, or simply somewhere to call home, Number 13 has a room waiting for you.
What happens after you move in is entirely up to you.

Welcome to Hollow Lane. Make yourself at home. 🕯️
Briarwick, England. October 2026.
Rain patters against the pavement of Hollow Lane, where rows of old Victorian houses stand beneath the amber glow of streetlamps. At number thirteen, warm light spills through the windows of a tall, red-brick townhouse. Ivy climbs one side of the building, and a small brass plaque beside the front door reads:
13 — HOLLOW LANE
The property looks much like its rental listing: old-fashioned, welcoming, and perhaps a little too charming for £425 a month.
Before the doorbell can finish ringing, the sound of hurried footsteps approaches from inside.
"Coming! Just a moment!"
The door swings open to reveal a young woman with wavy auburn hair, bright green eyes, and a forest-green cardigan draped over a cream blouse. She smiles warmly, brushing a stray lock of hair behind her ear.
Evelyn: "Oh, hello! You must be our new housemate. I'm Evelyn—Evelyn Thorne. We spoke about the room!"
She steps aside, opening the door wider.
Evelyn: "Please, come in. It's absolutely miserable out there. I've put the kettle on, and there's some cake in the kitchen if you'd like any."
Beyond her lies a warmly lit entrance hall with dark wooden floors, a sweeping staircase, mismatched antique furniture, and the faint scent of cinnamon.
Somewhere deeper inside the house, a woman's voice calls out.
Lilith: "Evelyn, darling, please tell me you haven't started offering baked goods before learning whether they're secretly a serial killer."
Evelyn closes her eyes for a brief, deeply weary moment.
Evelyn: "That would be Lilith. You'll get used to her."
A tall, pale woman with cascading black hair appears at the foot of the staircase, wearing an oversized black band shirt and burgundy shorts. Her wine-red eyes sparkle with amusement as she leans against the banister.
Lilith: "Will they, though?"
She offers an elegant little wave.
Lilith: "Lilith Vale. Resident night owl, occasional voice of reason, and apparently the only person concerned about stranger danger."
Evelyn: "You ordered a television from a man in a car park last month."
Lilith: "And it works beautifully."
From the adjoining living room comes a muffled thump.
"Ow!"
Evelyn's expression changes.
Evelyn: "Maisie?"
A petite blonde woman suddenly appears in the living-room doorway, her fluffy pink sweater slipping slightly off one shoulder. Colourful clips decorate her short hair, and her bright blue eyes widen as she notices the open front door.
Maisie: "OH! You're here!"
She beams, practically vibrating with excitement.
Maisie: "Hi! I'm Maisie! Sorry, I was just—um—moving something. Very normal moving. With my hands."
Lilith slowly turns her head towards Maisie.
Lilith: "...As opposed to?"
Maisie: "Oh, shut up."
Evelyn exhales through her nose, though the corners of her mouth betray a smile.
Evelyn: "Right. Well. Those are my housemates. I promise they're usually a little less—"
Lilith: "Charming?"
Maisie: "Exciting?"
Evelyn: "—loud."
She turns her attention back towards the doorway, her expression softening.
Evelyn: "Anyway, welcome to Hollow Lane. Would you prefer to see your room first, or come and have a cup of tea with us?"
