Room in a Shared Flat, Westbourne Road, LA1

This second floor two-bedroom shared flat is set within an imposing Victorian mansion (built 1860). One bedroom is available to rent on a shared living basis. The house was converted into flats 30 years ago, but we have recently completed a full eco-refurbishment of this flat.

The location could not be better: set back from the road, but literally 1 minute from the railway station, with the city centre just a little further.

Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, with the available bedroom 2 having two large Velux windows leting in plenty of light, Bedroom 2 is which is a large double, around 14m2 in floor area excluding the en-suite. As you can see, there is lots of warm timber in the flat. The en-suite bathroom is fully tiled and has a large (120x80cm) walk-in shower. There is also a built-in wardrobe.

There is a pleasant front garden with benches for all our tenants to enjoy; the lawn is surrounded by bushes and fruit trees, maintained by a professional gardener. The bedrooms overlook the back garden, as pictured. The flat benefits from very high levels of thermal and sound insulation (EPC 83=B), central heating with full heating controls, with wifi and hard-wired high-speed broadband, and TV points in every room. A very large dining kitchen has ample shared space, with a window to the front giving an excellent view.

The kitchen has lots of storage and preparation space, designed for two to cook at the same time. The flat has a tumble dryer, washing machine, dishwasher, and many original architectural features have been retained. In addition to the large kitchen there is a small 'snug' living room, with comfy sofas and a TV. With real oak floors, antique furniture and a high quality 4'6" wide bed, this flat is of much higher standard than most rental properties.

Bedroom 1 is let to B-- and L--, who are a working couple. If you need to work remotely from home then there is no problem with that

If you have a car, you will need to buy a street parking permit which is £25/yr. Covered parking is available for bicycles.

Viewings on weekday evenings are preferred, so please advise when replying to this advert, which evenings you are available. Please note that the flat is not available for short lets or pets. The room will be available from April 14th, and not any earlier, as it is tenanted until then. At the moment I am not offering a video tour option.
