Relax in Desirable Area with Vegetable Garden

Ad ref# 17154268

Double bedroom - available late April, date TBC. Ideally suits like minded housemate with friendly, welcoming profile!

We are friendly professionals. This is a relaxed, safe & friendly area of Leicester. Female preferred for shared bathroom.

City Centre 1 mile. Local gyms prices from £12 p/m. Within 800 meters, 2 x gyms includes Sauna, Steam Room, Jacuzzi & Swimming Pool from £39 p/m.

Bedroom Rental includes use of shared Gym kit. Yoga Mats, TRX kit & stretchy bands and garden with sunny aspect.

Price includes Super Fast Fibre & powerful WiFi. Excellent range of kitchen equipment. Most modern convenience, double oven + separate large 4 in 1 Combination Microwave Oven, which can also Steam, Grill, Cook, Defrost & Microwave.

All bills included, cleaning liquids, sponges, towels & dishwasher tablets.

I offer facilities-equipment way beyond the average rental. Anyone who helps out with watering of the Organic vegetable and herb garden can share a fair % of food grown. Housemates are also welcome to grow their own herbs & vegetables.

I have a large range of planting pots ideal for herbs and vegetables. I can create a suitable space in the garden and help with knowledge. I have many more plans for making the garden space more usable for relaxing and even cooking!

Parking is good in this area. We have wide roads and no parking restrictions. You usually get a spot within 20 to 30 meters. But in any case there are 2 x visitors car parks behind the houses (about 12 spaces), which hardly anyone ever uses and they are within approx. 50 meters of the house. There is also a private car parking spot which can be used exclusively for an extra fee.

Ambience:
An important part of a home share is the ambience. I encourage a friendly and relaxed ambience. Ideal housemates will be tidy, relaxed and mature. I hope living here will feel like home from home.

I am a live in Landlord: I’m easy going, respectful and mature. I spend many weeks & many long weekends away from home focused on outdoor adventures, mainly climbing and hiking. This year I hope to have a camper van to simplify my climbing adventures. The camper van will be available for housemates to rent at a discount.

Our rear garden is quite private with a sunny aspect from noon, till mid evening. It's a lovely garden for relaxing, reading, yoga, etc. Soon I will create a covered, sheltered outdoor eating area suitable for longer year round use in the cooler months.

There is the usual flexibility on which rooms will vacate next. And I offer upgrade 'options' for new beds/mattresses, painting, entire refits and even ambient lighting upgrades for longer term rentals.

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

Larchmont Road is mainly a family oriented area with a safe and friendly feel. Take a walk around. I call it the Village in the City. Within 800 meters to just over 1 mile, we have 3 Climbing walls, 4 Gyms, 3 with swimming pools, Universities, Colleges and the High Cross Cinema de Lux. The city has a thriving and friendly European style feel with many friendly bars and restaurants.

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.

I've noticed when renting to professionals and mature students the house is usually very quiet during the day. To encourage a peaceful ambience we have a library policy to minimise noise between 10pm & 8am.

Most professionals spend the majority of waking hours working or exercising, and then studying or relaxing, and so the house is also quiet on most weekends. Occasionally we organise a game or film night.

If someone moves out, housemates can upgrade to larger bedrooms.

Large kitchen has extensive appliances, individual food storage, large fridge, freezer, water filter, Slow cooker, Double Sink, Microwave Cooker/Defroster, 4 gas hobs, 2 electric hobs. Large Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, slow cooker and Dutch ovens.

Berkey Water Filter: The Berkey filters out pesticides, antibiotics, bacteria and viruses to approx. 99.99%. Glyphosate is reduced by approx. 75%!
See Berkey website.

This is a peaceful home share and definitely not a party house. It’s okay occasionally to invite a couple of friends for dinner, or even a barbeque. Just let everyone know in advance.
