🌞 I am ‘currently’ a live-in landlord, but spend many weekends (and weeks), away in UK and Europe on adventures, mainly climbing, scrambling, hiking, travelling & occasionally skiing.

I am friendly, respectful, mature and rarely seen or heard unless I am batch cooking for a trip away!

I do a lot of study/research from home during weekdays but out training most evenings. I am away all bank holidays and most weekends from March to Oct.

This year I will buy a camper van to simplify climbing adventures and spend even more weekends away on club trips. Campervan rental with insurance will soon be available to housemates at discount.

So, that's the highlights, but for even more details please read on!

This specific area of LE4 0BE is a sought after family oriented area with a safe and friendly feel. Take a walk around. I call it the Village in the City.

Within 800 - 2000 meters (1.5 miles), we have 3 Climbing walls, 4 Gyms, 3 with swimming pools, Universities, Colleges, 2 main hospitals and a High Cross Cinema de Lux.

The city has a thriving and friendly European style feel with many friendly bars and restaurants expanding and modernising at a brisk pace, especially now the canal side developments are mostly completed.

We are less than 1 mile from River walks and cycling paths along Canal & around Abbey park, Leicester’s largest green space. Two of the 3 hospitals are approx. 1 to 1.5 miles away. Bradgate country park and ancient forest walks are only 4 miles away.

We have a quick & effective cleaning rota, but also we encourage everyone to clean up straight after cooking.

It is almost always very clean and tidy here. I also take extra care working from home, to do I do a lot of the awkward and/or extra cleaning jobs.

Upgrade Policy
Subject to length of rental, I can offer upgrade 'options' for new beds/mattresses, painting, entire refits and even ambient lighting upgrades for longer term rentals.

Stop Overs:
Simply give housemates an advance heads up on whatsapp, if you are planning a romantic dinner or friend to stopover.
