Charming room Cross Flatts Ave LEEDS LS11

Left hand house where I also live on ground floor

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 1st floor room (with a separate ensuite basin and WC) 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 is for a single non-smoker only. No couples, sorry.

The rent for this room is £675 pcm payable monthly in advance and inclusive of all bills including broadband, tv licence, gas, electricity, Council Tax, Water Rate and the services of a weekly cleaner.

The room is quiet, clean and nicely furnished. It has just received a fresh coat of white emulsion paint. It has dark blue curtains and a turquoise fitted carpet .  It measures about 10'6"' x 15’ . It has a comfortable double bed provided with a good mattress and a new topper plus all bedlinen, duvet and pillows supplied..

There are two wardrobes and plenty of cubnoard space, shelving and drawers, too. There is a desk with a comfy leather swivel office armchair. There is also a coffee table and a cream leather IKEA Poang easy chair. There is a terrestrial TV with an aerial socket enabling you to receive Freeview. Pictures and mirrors adorn the walls. It has pllenty of light fittings, too - a ceiling lamp and three table and desk lamps.  Altogether a nice mix of attractive traditional style furnishings creating a homely feel.

There is a small en suite bathroom -just a wash basin and a WC, with 2 small sliding sash windows and a CH radiator, mirror and rowel rail. You would have to use the large shared bathroom on the same floor to bathe or shower

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 main room room has a large central heating radiator and a tall sliding sash widow The room is light, bright and cosy in appearance. It is located next to the spacious dining kitchen with its own very large windows overlooking the lovely back garden and Cross Flatts Park.

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 be sharing the excellent first floor bathroom and kitchen facilities with just one other person - at the moment an Englishman in his fifties working in the financial sector..

This house is not short of bathing or laundry facilities!  There is no competition for facilities amongst the total of 4 housemates when the shared part part of the house is fully occupied.

There in no communal sitting room in this house 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.  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. There is a refundable security bond of £150.

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 their batteries 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.




It is very pleasant and "leafy" round here despite being so close to the city centre with the park at the back and lovely Middleton Woods nearby where it is a joy to walk in every season. 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 warm, comfortable, friendly and conducive to study or work. 


This house is a well-run, clean 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
