Charming room Cross Flatts Ave LEEDS LS11

I am a live-in landlord who lets rooms in my own home, a handsome 4 storey Edwardian house backing on to Cross Flatts Park in south Leeds. I have a very nice well-appointed ensuite on the 1st floor room available now for a single non-smoker that may suit you if you are willing to live south of the river in Cross Flatts Avenue.  I live in a self-contained apartment on the ground floor. 

The room now advertised is for a single non-smoker only. No couples, sorry.

The rent for this room is £600 pcm payable monthly in advance inclusive of all bills including broadband and tv licence, gas, electricity, Council Tax, Water Rate and the services of a weeklycleaner.

The room is quiet, clean and nicely furnished overlooking Cross Flatts Park park and my back garden. It has just received a fresh coat of white emulsion paint.
It has dark blue blackout curtains and green fitted carpet.  It measures about 10’6” wide and about 15’ long (including the separate ensuite toilet with hand wash basin). It has a comfortable 4’ 2" wide bed provided with all bedlinen, duvet and pillows.

There is plenty of wardrobe hanging space, shelving and plenty of drawers and cupboard space, too. There is also storage space under the bed. There is a small desk with a comfy swivel office armchair. There is also a coffee table as well as an IKEA Poang cream leather easy chair. There is a terrestrial TV with an aerial socket in the room enabling you to receive Freeview. Bed linen and duvet etc are all provided. There are pictures and mirrors on the wall plus three table and desk lamps.  Altogether a nice mix of attractive furnishings.

The bedsit has a central heating radiator and so has the ensuite bathroom which is equipped with a WC, a pedestal wash basin, mirror, glass shelving, vinyl floor covering, mats and window blinds. There are three double glazed sliding sash windows in this suite.

There are two bedsits, a large kitchen and a large bathroom on the 1st floor and another two bedsits sharing their own bathroom and kitchen on the attic floor above. So you would only be sharing the excellent first floor bathroom and kitchen facilities with just one other person. This house is not short of bathing or laundry facilities!  There is no competition for facilities amongst the total of 4 housemates when the house is fully occupied. There in no shared communal sitting room in this houser but the rooms are large and the kitchen has space for relaxing as well as cooking.

The minimum stay is for 6 months.  After that one month's notice is all that is needed.  This gives you considerable flexibility.  The first month's rent is to be paid up front. You are expected to return the room in the same clean and tidy condition as when you moved in. If there is any gratuitous or negligent damage or loss of keys you may be charged for it.

The large kitchen overlooking the back garden and park has a sofa and tv, a range cooker, large fridge, large freezer, a washing machine and tumble dryer plus plenty of storage space, tons of communal cooking pans, utensils etc and a dining table and chairs.

The shared large bathroom has a bath and a separate shower as well as a hand basin and WC.

The house has gas CH, double glazing, laundry facilities, wide halls and landings, fire doors and closers on all rooms, plus thumb turn mortice locks and a fire alarm system.  Licensed by Leeds City Council for multi-occupation, the shared part of this house has all of the required facilities and more!

There is also a weekly cleaner for the communal areas but this does not let you off your responsibility to keep things clean and tidy yourself. No student digs this. It is designed by and for grown-ups who like the comforts of home and the flexibility of renting from a caring and considerate landlord - me! 


There is secure storage for your push bike if you have one and on street parking in the street outside. I cannot, however, accommodate an e-bike or e-scooter because the fire hazard associated with them would invalidate my insurance policy.

There is a gym and pool etc at the nearby John Charles Fitness Centre which is quite handy if you like to exercise. Pure Gym is also within walking distance. on the Tulip Retail Park.


T

is very pleasant and "leafy" round here despite being so close to the city centre with the park and lovely Middleton Woods nearby. Every Saturday morning there is a Park run round Cross Flatts Park starting at 9am. Twice round the Park is 5km apparently_

Many local bus routes run past the end of the street down Dewsbury Road (250m) and it is just a 10 minute bus ride into town (City Station, Headrow or Corn Exchange) + a short walk to the LU and LMU city campus and the LGI.  A walk through the park at the back of the house takes you to no. 1 bus route which runs frequently through to Headingley. Additionally there are no less than 12 Arriva buses between 7am and 9am in the morning which will get you to the bus station in 15 minutes. We have the best bus services in the city, bar none! 

Showing consideration to your housemates, helping to keep the communal areas clean and tidy and being a non-smoker are the conditions of sharing this lovely home.  It is clean, warm, comfortable, friendly and conducive to study or work. 

Please note that this accommodation has no shared sitting room.

This house is a well-run and well-maintained home which will appeal to people with mature attitude to their accommodation and fellow housemates.

Look forward to hearing from you

Regards
