Lockleaze, BS7 (just off Gainsborough Square)

TRANSPORT:
Equidistant 5-10min cycle to St Werbs, North end of Gloucester Rd, UWE and Southmead Hospital but also on many bus routes. (Filton Abbeywood is nearest train station- a 20min walk and the new Ashley Hill Train Station is about the same distance but towards centre of town.)

Council tax - £167.50 (band B)
Water - £50
Internet - £23 (Youfibre)
Gas and electricity £40 (summer)-120 (winter) for 3 ppl.

Total: £280.50-£360.50

THE ROOMS:
1 x Master double with a queen bed, spacious built in wardrobe and desk and chair can be taken from living room if needed (afternoon sun)
1 x Double with sturdy double bed, wardrobe and shelves (garden side where the sun rises so bright early morning light and also gorgeous reflection of the sunset on a bright gold/copper-speckled tree view)
1 x Single room with wardrobe, a desk and optional bed custom bed

All painted and carpeted between 2-3 years ago so all still nice and fresh.

THE HOUSE:
Only 4 years old kitchen, boiler, heating system, electrics, double glaze windows, roof and loft insulation so all fresh and cosy.

Living room is even more recently redecorated, about 2 yrs ago. There might still be a piano if you're into playing the old ivories. No TV.

Bathroom yet to be refitted so a little dated but functions just fine. There may be a little renovation on the way to smarten this up at some point. Will always try to minimise disruption and arrange anything like this when you're away etc.

1 x off-street private parking space available although at own risk as under a dodgy tree that has lost big branches on windy days over the years. Plenty on-street parking for free though.

Quiet gardens both front and back with plenty of growing space ready for the green-fingered to add to the well established herb garden.

THE AREA:
Private and quiet cul de sac with nice neighbours and community. Local square with a small Morrisons, corner shop, Chinese, fish and chippie, plus library and community hub, nursery, baby bounce etc. Excellent new secondary school Trinity Academy nearby (Cathedrals Schools Trust), Lockleaze Sports Centre, Cheswick Village etc. Fast developing surrounding area so more amenities on the way but you need to travel to Cheswick Village for a bigger shop (Coop) or Muller Road for Lidl/Aldi or the big Tesco by the m32 roundabout. (On the other hand, it's a 4 min jog and you're in Stoke Park i. e. Purdown. I’ve always had veg boxes and milk deliveries!)

ME:
I've been a live in landlord with lodgers for many years but am in the process of moving into my partners house and converting this property to a Buy to Let mortgage so this will now be a standard tenancy agreement. I live with my partner who is a handyman 10minutes away so we will handle repairs etc promptly and with care. There is a couple temporarily lodging. They are awaiting their own house purchase to go through June/July/August but I can give them 28 days notice at any point.

YOU:
Preferably mature professionals who are tidy, considerate, respectful and aware of neighbours but will consider studious sensible students who are not interested in or past the house partying stage. Need to be careful with locking doors properly as they have to be locked from the inside and out so not as intuitive as slamming and leaving behind you. Similarly, need to be mindful not to leave windows open and unlocked when you leave the house - all that sort of sensible stuff. Good communication is key - letting us know of any issues ASAP so we can get them investigated and sorted so as to prevent damage.

Non-smoking preferred or at least definitely not in the house please, nor daily/hardcore boozing please. Quiet family next door have a young child and other side is currently in probate but I think an older single gent is due to purchase/move in. Might consider pets.

DAMP AND MOULD PREVENTION REQUEST
Please be folk that understand that Bristol is a damp city with DAILY ventilation and airing required, ideally first thing, particularly in the winter. That sleeping with the window ajar is best, or else daily "burping" of rooms to allow fresh air in before the heating goes on is necessary (so that then you have nice fresh damp-free air to warm) and this will prevent damp and mould (and keep your lungs healthy and happy!). Also, that condensation build up on windows (and walls) should be WIPED away as THAT is what creates mould if left.

Similarly with laundry, ideally you're someone that likes to get their washing out on the line in the sunny garden early morns or if you need to hang it inside, then again, to make sure the window is open and door to that room shut till it's dry.

Showers - please keep windows ajar rather than creating a sauna hot box experience and ventilate after as well (with door closed to prevent steam spreading into the house).

Cooking - please open the kitchen window if the steam/smoke is more than the cooker hood can handle rather than letting the kitchen doors and windows steam up. And please shut the kitchen door to prevent moisture (and cooking smells?) from flooding the house.

FINALE:
Please do get in touch with preferred move in dates, availability for viewings and some info about yourselves. Look forward to hearing from you. Please do share. Thanks!
