Rent a room at Headscape

Posted in News on: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 by Paul Boag

Unfortunately our previous tenant has moved out so we now have a spare room available at the Headscape office. If you fancy working alongside a group of amazing designers and developers in the heart of rural Hampshire, read on.

Headscape has a gorgeous converted barn in the beautiful Hampshire countryside. It is a truly inspiring place to work especially for those seeking to escape the rat race.

We are currently looking for a freelancer or partnership interested in renting a spacious room at the Barn. Not only will you benefit from the wonderful surroundings, you will also get to work alongside some the brightest minds in the industry (if we do say so ourselves!).

What you get

We have tried to keep things simple. The monthly rent includes everything with the exception of your phone line*. This includes…

  • Your own private room
  • A desk and chair for your new office
  • Free coffee and tea
  • 24 hour access with your own key
  • Use of the meeting room
  • The use of the kitchen
  • A lovely view over fields and forest
  • A fun and vibrant working environment!
  • An invite to our summer BBQs :)

* There is an existing phone line installed. All you need to do is get it transferred.

Location

Our offices are in Lockerley‎, Hampshire. Lockerley is a lovely little village with all mod-cons. These include exciting attractions such as…

  • A village shop
  • A pub (nearby)
  • A village green
  • A postbox

What more could you want :)

The cost

It’s £336 per month, and you’ll need to pay a one-month deposit (to cover furniture, etc).

Interested?

If you are interested in learning about having an office at the Barn then call Paul on 07760 123 120 or paul@boagworld.com

    Great idea aside, the opening sequence to the video is fantastic.

  • Michael says:

    Cool video – you appeared slightly more mad looking than I thought though! :)

  • Michael Grinstead says:

    Roughly what I’m paying for my little office, tho I’m right on Romsey high street above a hairdressers (not idea).
    If only you were closer to the fire station (I’m a retained firefighter) then I would be very much interested.

  • So, what would it take for two guys from the States and their significant others to come and take over that space? ;)

  • Emily says:

    I just came to watch the video because I’m curious about your workspace (well, I’d be interested in seeing anyone’s office really)! I work from home right now – it helps keep the overheads of my small business down.
    I love that you work in a barn, surrounded by fields and the sound of birdsong and it makes me wonder if I don’t want to move out of the big smoke (London) after all (I’d have to learn how to drive first!)
    Thanks for sharing!
