Charming apartment in leafy area of South Leeds

House on the right - facade

If you thought you couldn't afford your own place and were obliged to share facilities, think again. Available at the end of September 2026 is a lovely, spacious ground floor suite of three large traditionally furnished rooms with access to a lovely private patio and back garden if you care to venture into Cross Flatts Ave in South Leeds.

The apartment is for a single non-smoker only. Sorry, it is not available for couples, relatives or friends. sharing. I do not permit the total number of residents the house to go above four.

The house has many original architectural features and is furnished in traditional/antique style. It has a lovely patio and back garden where you can enjoy the peace and quiet on a warm evening while watching the bats fly over at dusk

The apartment comprises the entire ground floor of the large Edwardian house I own (next door to my own) in Cross Flatts Avenue, Beeston. It has a large well-furnished sitting room and bedroom with a glazed communicating door between them and a large dining kitchen also equipped with a washer and tumble dryer. There is a small ensuite shower room off the bedroom plus a separate WC in the hall. It is fully furnished and equipped to a high standard. The photographs, I hope, wilI tell you most of what you wish to know.

The apartment is not “self-contained” as such but neither does it share any facilities (except hot water and broadband connection) with the other three singletons), each in their own apartment on the other 3 floors of the house (two male and one lfemale). The plan of the house remains the same as when it was built in 1903, so no ugly modern 'conversion' partitions. It is a very attractive place to live.

The rent is £1,000 pcm, inclusive of gas, elec, CT, water rate, TV licence and broadband.

I offer an assured rolling monthly periodic tenancy.

You may leave whenever you wish with one month's notice for whatever reason. 

The rent is payable calendar monthly in advance. 

The house is a large 4-storey Edwardian semi-detached with a lovely garden backing on to Cross Flatts Park.  It is very pleasant and "leafy" round here despite being so close to the city centre.

Many local bus routes run past the end of the street along Dewsbury Road (250m) and from there it is less than a 10 minute bus ride into City Station, The Headrow or Corn Exchange. Nearby there is also the number 1 bus route that runs  direct to Headingley and beyond.  Additionally, there are no less than 15 Arriva buses between 7am and 9am which will take you into Leeds bus station in 20 minutes. We have the best bus services in the city, bar none!   On foot it takes about 35 mins to reach the town centre. 

There are many supermarkets within easy distance. If you have a car there is on-street parking and we are handy for all motorways.  There is a shed for parking a bike if you have one, but definitely no E-bikes, please! 

Cross Flatts Park and the nearby extensive MIddleton Park and Woods are lovely places to jog or walk at all seasons.  For fitness facilities there are the nearby John Charles Centre at the South Leeds Stadium and Pure Gym at he Tulip Retail Park.

Showing consideration to the other residents and being a non-smoker are the conditions of sharing this lovely home.  It is clean, warm, comfortable and conducive to study or work. Sorry, I cannot accept shift workers or people who work from home or wish to run a business from home..  It is a well-run and well-maintained house which will appeal to people with mature attitude to their accommodation and fellow housemates.

Phone me or email me to arrange a viewing.  I hope you will enjoy looking at the photos included in this advert

Thank you.
