1 Bed Flat, Cleveland Place West, BA1

SPACIOUS BASEMENT FLAT WITH PRIVATE COURTYARD AND GARAGE

A very characterful and pleasing conversion in the basement of a Georgian house. It offers spacious self-contained accommodation (57m2) comprising the whole footprint of the house, together with a large private courtyard on two levels giving direct access to the garage 11.75 m² (4.9m long x 2.4m wide) at the rear. The living room is large with a high ceiling with which the kitchen,containing all the usual appurtenances including a dishwasher and fridge/freezer, is integrated behind a large open island room-divider. The house is quiet and well run in this rather hidden quarter, a short level walk from the centre of the city and a 10-minute walk from the university bus-stop at the bottom of Bathwick Hill. Easy access to the M4 via Lansdown Road or LondonRoad. This flat is located near the river at Cleveland Bridge and is mainly accessed from the lane known as Cleveland Cottages.

Central-heating as well as the water is economically provided by an efficient modern gas Combi-boiler and a coal-effect gas-fire gives a cheerful focus in the sitting-room.The Gas Safety Certificate is renewed annually in August. The front windows have double-glazing. EPC Rating 66 in Band D.

An integrated communal fire-alarm system is installed and carefully maintained together with multiple carbon-monoxide alarms which are tested twice a year. The common parts of the house are kept to the high standard expected of a Grade II listed house. The tenancy is fully supported with necessary services e.g. plumber and domestic machinery repairs together with friendly practical help at no additional cost to the tenants who have a direct call on the appointed contractors as and when required.

The Internet is supplied via the telephone line and the speed for this postcode is adequate for normal domestic use. It is claimed to be up to 17Mb by most providers but the "up to" speed is the maximum possible speed you are likely to receive and a recent test showed approximately 13mbs/sdownload and 1mb/s upload, although it seems that faster speeds are now available. The actual speed you will get depends on variable factors and it is for prospective tenants to satisfy themselves from their providers that it is adequate for their needs. There is also a Sky-dish in place.

The apartment is offered on a standard Assured Shorthold Tenancy and the deposit (equivalent to one calendar months rent) is secured with 'My Deposits', a scheme endorsed by the National Landlords Association and approved by the Secretary of State.

 At the front of the main house there is a locked gated vault for secure bicycle storage if required.

Smoking is absolutely prohibited in the house and the entire apartment. Rent 995 GBP pcm exclusive of utilities and Council Tax.
