Three rooms to rent in Clitheroe, available this autumn
Boutique Homes has three en-suite rooms to rent in Clitheroe from £715 a month, and the rent covers everything: council tax, gas, electricity, water, superfast broadband and weekly cleaning of the communal areas.
The rooms are at The Bawdlands, a six-bedroom co-living house on Bawdlands in the centre of Clitheroe, a few minutes’ walk from the town centre and about 100 metres from the railway station. Every room has its own private en-suite shower room and comes fully furnished. You rent the room, not a share of a house, on your own individual tenancy.
| Room | Rent pcm | Size | Aspect | Available |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Room 8 | £750 | 22.4 sq m | North, second floor | 1 November 2026 |
| Room 4 | £730 | 17.4 sq m | North, second floor | 1 October 2026 |
| Room 5 | £715 | 17 sq m | East, second floor | 1 October 2026 |
| Room 2 | £725 | 20 sq m | East, first floor | Let |
| Room 6 | £695 | 16 sq m | South, second floor | Let |
| Room 7 | £670 | 14.5 sq m | South, second floor | Let |
Rooms are let one person per room. Prices correct at 1 September 2026. If the room you want is let, join the waiting list and we will tell you before the next one is advertised.
What is included in the rent?
Everything except a TV licence for your own room. One payment on one date covers the lot, so there are no separate accounts to set up and nothing to split with anyone.
Bills and utilities
- Council tax, in full. You are not billed separately and there is nothing to claim back
- Gas and electricity
- Water
- Superfast broadband, business-grade mesh Wi-Fi with hardwired Cat5 points and USB sockets in every room
Your room
- Private en-suite shower room
- Fully furnished: double storage bed, mattress, wardrobe, several sets of drawers, desk and chair, bedside table, lamp and mirror
- Iron and ironing board

The shared spaces

The one thing that is not included is a TV licence for your own private room, which residents arrange themselves if they need one. There is nothing else.
What does it cost to move in?
One month’s rent in advance and a £400 deposit. That is the whole cost.
| First month’s rent | £715 to £750 |
| Deposit, protected with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme | £400 |
| Admin fee | £0 |
| Referencing fee | £0 |
| Renewal fee | £0 |
| Furniture | £0, the room is furnished |
Under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, which came into force on 1 May 2026, a landlord in England cannot ask for more than one month’s rent in advance. We do not, and we never did.
How long is the tenancy?
There is no fixed term. Every assured tenancy in England now runs on a rolling monthly basis with no end date. You give two months’ notice when you want to leave, and nothing ties you in beyond that.
Is the deposit protected?
Yes. Your £400 is held with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme and you receive the prescribed information within 30 days of paying it. The Bawdlands is licensed as a House in Multiple Occupation by Ribble Valley Borough Council, and Boutique Homes Ltd is a member of the National Residential Landlords Association.
A room, a flat or a house share: what renting in Clitheroe actually costs
Most people looking for somewhere to live in Clitheroe start by searching for a one-bedroom flat. It is worth comparing the real monthly cost, not just the advertised rent, because the two are not the same thing.
| Monthly cost | One-bed flat in the Ribble Valley | A room at The Bawdlands |
|---|---|---|
| Rent | £607 average | £715 to £750 |
| Council tax, Band A in Clitheroe with the single person discount | £99 | Included |
| Gas, electricity and water | Roughly £150 to £220 | Included |
| Broadband | Roughly £30 | Included |
| Realistic monthly total | Roughly £886 to £956 | £715 to £750 |
| To move in | One month’s rent plus a deposit of up to five weeks, plus furniture | One month’s rent plus £400, furnished |

Council tax for a Band A property in Clitheroe parish, 2026/27, £1,589.19 a year, less the 25% single person discount, is £99.32 a month. Energy, water and broadband figures are typical estimates for one person and will vary.
A flat is the right answer if
You want your own front door, your own kitchen, space for a partner or a pet, and you are happy to buy furniture, set up four accounts and sign for a whole property.
A room here is the right answer if
You want one payment, no bills, no furniture to buy, somewhere properly designed to come home to, and the freedom to give two months’ notice and go. It suits people who have moved to the area for work, who are between houses, or who split their week between Clitheroe and somewhere else.
It is not a student house and it is not a bedsit. Residents are working professionals ranging in age from 22 to 60 and over.
Where is it, and who lives here?
The Bawdlands is at 27-29 Bawdlands, Clitheroe BB7 2LA, at the edge of the town centre.
Getting about
- Clitheroe railway station is about 100 metres away, with direct trains to Blackburn, Bolton and Manchester Victoria
- A bus stop is directly across the road
- Castle Street, the market and the supermarkets are a few minutes on foot
- Ribblesdale, Barrow and the A59 for Preston and Skipton are a short drive
- No private parking, but secure on-site bike storage is included and Ribble Valley annual parking passes start at around £70 a year
Who lives here
Six working professionals, one per room, ranging in age from 22 to 60 and over. Everyone is referenced and screened before they move in, and we introduce new residents to the people already living there.
It is a quiet, adult house: no parties, no smoking, and quiet after 10pm. Several residents moved to the Ribble Valley for work and wanted somewhere sorted from day one rather than a six-month project.
How to rent a room

The questions people actually ask before they book a viewing. For everything about day-to-day life in the house, see The Bawdlands.
How much is a room to rent in Clitheroe?
At The Bawdlands, rooms are £670 to £750 a month with every bill included, and the three available this autumn are £715, £730 and £750. For comparison, the average one-bedroom private rent across the Ribble Valley was £607 a month in July 2026 before any bills or council tax were added.
Are there rooms to rent in Clitheroe with no deposit?
We ask for a £400 deposit, which is well below the legal maximum of five weeks’ rent and is returned to you at the end of your tenancy, less any agreed deductions. We do not charge admin, referencing or renewal fees, so £400 plus your first month’s rent is the entire cost of moving in.
Are the rooms furnished?
Yes, fully. Double storage bed, mattress, wardrobe, several sets of drawers, desk and chair, bedside table, lamp, mirror and an iron and ironing board. The kitchen is fully equipped apart from your own plates, bowls and cups.
Do the rooms have private bathrooms?
Yes. Every one of the six rooms has its own private en-suite shower room. No bathroom is shared.
Is there a minimum contract?
No. Since the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 came into force on 1 May 2026, every assured tenancy in England runs monthly with no end date. You give two months’ notice when you want to leave.
Can two people share a room?
No. The property is let one person per room, six rooms to six individuals.
Is parking available?
There is no private parking. The railway station is about 100 metres away, there is a bus stop across the road, secure bike storage is included, and Ribble Valley annual parking passes start at around £70.
Is the landlord licensed and registered?
Yes. The Bawdlands is a licensed House in Multiple Occupation with Ribble Valley Borough Council, Boutique Homes Ltd is a member of the National Residential Landlords Association, and deposits are protected with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme.
