Description

Quiet room, short term only, for mature Post-Grad student or weekday professional in friendly 4 bed Victorian family home of female University lecturer. Close to city centre. 1 - 2 months max .

Walking distance to University of Leicester, De Montfort University and Leicester Royal Infirmary, as well as to King Power, Tigers and cricket Stadiums. Travel links are excellent - several bus routes to the city centre stop nearby, Motorways M1 and M69, Meridian Business Park, Fosse park shopping centre and Leicester Airport are all easy to reach.

The house has high ceilings and lots of original features. The room is bright and warm, with a bed, bedside cabinet, chest of drawers, shelves, desk chair, radiator and mirror. Towels and bed linen are also available, or you may prefer to use your own.

We are close to the supermarkets Aldi, Morrisons and Co-op and there is a useful local shop just 2 mins walk away. Aylestone Leisure Centre is also just a short walk away, for swimming, library and other activities.
Aylestone Meadows, is a beautiful nature reserve right behind the house which also offers a delightful greener route into the city centre via the Riverside walk by bicycle or on foot.

This is a quiet, clean and well-maintained family home. You are welcome to share the:

• kitchen with Smeg dual fuel double range cooker and dining table

• utility room with Miele washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, microwave, Bosch fridge and freezer, + recent Wooster-Bosch boiler

• bathroom featuring Travertine tiles with bath, handheld shower and wide overhead shower

• living room with marble fireplace high ceilings with ornate coving and ceiling rose, huge sofa, armchairs, TV, etc

• garden with patio and several small terraces, with a tributary of the river Soar at the bottom.

Three descending terraces lead down the garden to the river Soar, with weeping willows and other large trees on the opposite side.
A lovely stone patio with seating and wooden table for outdoor dining overlooks the river (ducks and swans are regular passing visitors!).

The house was fully renovated to a high standard in recent years. A room with French windows leads out to the garden. Two rooms are occupied by resident owner and son. Parking available on street is unrestricted.

This would suit someone who appreciates a quiet, peaceful yet friendly, family environment, such as a phD student - or a professional, perhaps working in Leicester and returning home at weekends - someone who is comfortable to sometimes share the house with the female owner and young son.
