Situated in New Springs / Whelley, this desirable area offers lush green spaces and picturesque walking routes, including access to Haigh Country Park and the canal. The property is quietly nestled within a residential cul-de-sac while remaining conveniently close to local shops.

The Property

A refurbished large true bungalow, of around 1000 square feet, offering a variety of living options and solar electric power.

Examples of living options (please note the layout plan, with room numbers and sizes):

. 4 bedrooms, open plan living room and kitchen (rooms 9 and 10 on the plan) with 4 bedrooms, main entrance would be the door into room 9.

. 3 bedrooms, kitchen with attached dining room (rooms 9 and 10 on the plan), a separate lounge (room 3 on the plan) and three bedrooms

. Intergenerational living e.g. grandparents have bedroom 2 so that they have room 1 as their extra space

. 3 bedrooms and a home office, using room 9 as a work space

 Along the back of the building, leading to the back garden, is decking with patio door access from the rooms that join it. The back garden also offers three patios.

 Please note:

. The bungalow is elevated, which means the drive is on a slope and there are steps (or the sloped drive) up to the property

. Like all residential rental properties, the insurance does not cover running a business from it, but working from home is fine

Outside there is a drive allowing parking, for a small car, with access to both of the bungalow’s entry doors, further parking is available at the bottom of the drive and elsewhere on the street.

Notes about the photos

. The oven is sticking out and the extractor hood does not have it's chimney attached, because the photos were taken in the middle of the electrician connecting things up

. Photos were taken straight after the new flooring was laid throughout, this means there is carpet dust still settling and the carpets are full of fluff  . . . .  because our hoover chose that exact moment to only half work!

. Everything looks a bit dull and wet  . . .  blame storm  Ciarán

. Please refer to the layout, which has room numbers on it

 Viewings

. viewings will finish on Wednesday 8th November 2023, last viewing bookings will be accepted on the morning of Wednesday 8th, once all viewings are complete a decision will be made.

. You will be offered an appointment time, please do let us know (through Openrent) if the time or date is suitable. Once you confirm the date and time is suitable we will book the appointment through Openrent and you will receive a formal appointment.

. Where an appointment booking is not agreed (by messaging through Openrent to say you are happy with the date and time offered and that you will be attending) it will not be valid and the time slot issued to somebody else

. Applicants must attend in person to make sure that they are happy with the property, meet the landlord and chat through the tenancy and application process.

. Rental properties are in short supply and demand for them is very high. If you change your mind about viewing the property, please do let us know so that we can give your appointment to someone else.

 Application Process

. Once we have completed all viewings we will make a decision and inform everybody who has viewed. The chosen tenant will be asked to place a holding deposit and referencing will then begin.

. Full referencing will be completed before a tenancy is agreed. Referencing is by Openrent and includes affordability (a rough guide to affordability is your annual income should be at least 30 times the monthly rental price, so for £1050 a month rent you need at least £31,300 annual salary), work references, credit history check, Right to Rent and open banking (where your outgoings and income are checked to be sure you can afford the property). Please do not apply unless you are happy to be fully referenced by Openrent, including the open banking part.

. A deposit, equivalent to 5 weeks rent, will be required. Insurance based deposit not offered, also any council or charity based deposits that do not cover arrears and damages (i.e. that do not behave like a standard cash deposit) are not accepted.

. all adults will be referenced and appear on the AST

. Property is only available via an AST, please do not apply if you plan on doing R2R, company lets, etc.

. Do not lodge a holding deposit unless we have confirmed that we will be progressing with you as the successful applicant. Any holding deposit lodged, when not asked for, will be declined.

. This is not an HMO (three or more unrelated people sharing facilities) so please do not apply as a group of friends, as we do not intend on running an HMO

. Please be aware that rents are reviewed annually
