Please understand:
These properties get around 50-70 replies, but with many unsuitable you should expect to be offered a viewing if you meet the criteria above, have a reliable rental history, and value the space of this flat, its quiet but convenient location and its garden.  To save your time, the owner will initially ask you a few simple questions to establish your suitability.



Located in leafy Clarendon Road where most of the houses are owner occupied and set back from the road on both sides, this huge Victorian property is halfway down the road and well away from the busy streets at the end whilst being conveniently positioned for local shops, Central Park, and the Mersey promenade.

Although the building's frontage is awaiting renovation during this summer, the already finished rear garden accessed via the side gate is laid to lawn with a seating area, a fire pit for winter evenings, and plenty of room to sunbathe or just relax and read a book in summer. The large adjoining gardens of these huge old properties with their tall trees provide a haven of quiet where robins, blue tits and ethnic minority birds come for the bird feeder, and the squirrels come begging monkey nuts.

This garden is an ideal space in which to entertain your visitors in summer months, or to simply relax with a book or a beer.

If you have a bicycle, this can be kept locked behind the side gate within range of the garden security camera.


The building's front door opens to a generous carpeted hall with stairs to the first floor. 

On the first floor landing you'll find the door to this top floor flat, with a further internal short flight of stairs.

The photo shows the bathroom taken from its doorway, at the far end is the bath with shower and all the normal bathroom amenities. In the foreground is the carpeted laundry area with electric heated towel rail, ceiling hung clothes airer over the large radiator for easy and effective indoor drying whilst preventing condensation in the rest of the flat, and with plenty of room for ironing and storage.

Up a few stairs to the higher level is the open landing with its own radiator, then walk left into the bedroom or straight ahead into the living room and on into the kitchen.

The bedroom is large enough for a king sized bed and leaving plenty of space for wardrobes and a dressing table.

The living room already has the wall mount for a large TV, and an indoor aerial. Trunking from the TV down to the skirting allows wiring to be neatly hidden. The window overlooks the road, and Liverpool's skyline can be seen over the opposite roofs - the lights are gorgeous at night. The blackout curtains can be left open without loss of privacy as the opposite houses are lower than this building.

The kitchen is large with plenty of worktop space, taps and fittings are top quality, and there's ample room for a dining table and chairs. The washing machine is the Hisense 8kg with the faster spin, the gas hob is Bosch, the electric Bosch oven is fan forced for those who enjoy baking, and the extractor hood can be controlled from your smartphone. Yes, really!  Just installed is a tall Bosch fridge/freezer, not shown in the photos. 

There's free unlimited fast fibre Internet via WiFi, accessed via password with a separate 'open' WiFi for visitors.  Also your own video doorbell which you can access on your smartphone from anywhere in the world.


The other occupants of this large and fully-renovated property are mature: The gentleman on the ground floor has lived in the building for more than 20 years, and he planted the monkey tree in the garden about 15 years ago.  In summer he mows the lawn weekly, and throughout the year manages the wheelie bins so there's nothing for you to do.  At the rear of the ground floor is another gentleman who is normally out at work. On the first floor is a gentleman and his elderly father, and who have recently moved in to that also recently renovated flat.

Gas and electricity are pre-paid with Utilita, protecting you from any unexpectedly high bill and being very quick and easy to top up. I pay the water and TV licence annually, and you reimburse me each month - to make this easier for you. Council tax will apply as normal for every property.

Occupancy is on a straightforward tenancy agreement with a minimum 6 months' term, rent of £695 is payable by the first of each month - but June is FREE so you can move in and get settled without rush or complication. There's no security deposit payable, but your employment and previous accommodation references will be checked.


If this all sounds as though the flat would be ideal for you, and you feel that it would be a convenient and comfortable home, please get in contact whereupon I'll send you some more information and ask you for some basic details to ensure the flat will suit. After that I'll invite you to view so you can check that it matches the photos and the description.

The flat is available for you to move in at the start of June.

David.
