Price includes all kitchen equipment, ALL BILLS, cleaning liquids, sponges, towels, super fast WiFi and even dishwasher tablets. I try to offer services beyond the average rental. For example, anyone helping with planting, maintenance and watering of the Organic vegetable and herb garden, can share the food grown. Housemates are welcome to grow their own organic herbs & vegetables. I have a large range of small pots and can create a suitable space in the garden. I have many plans for making the garden space a more usable area for relaxing and cooking!

Parking is good in this area. We have wide roads and no parking restrictions. You usually get a spot within 20 to 30 meters. But in any case there are 2 x visitors car parks behind the houses (about 12 spaces), which hardly anyone ever uses and they are within 50 meters of house.

Ambience:
An important part of a home share is the ambience. I encourage a friendly, mature and relaxed ambience. Ideal housemates will be tidy, relaxed and mature. I hope living here will feel like home from home.

For an extra monthly fee, (£150-200), there is a separate private study-lounge area.

Non-ensuites currently suit female rental, due to shared family bathroom. There is an option for a non-ensuite bedroom to become ensuite at an agreed extra cost.

Bedrooms have blackout curtains, adjustable blinds, optional extra storage, fast WiFi, Double Bed, Study Desk, Fitted Wardrobe and Mirror. There are upgrade options for new beds/mattresses, entire refits and even ambient lighting upgrades for longer term rentals.

- Bedrooms have the use of 2 toilets, including a 4 piece bathroom.
- Fully Fitted Kitchen & all the modern extras
- Garden full of Organic vegetables and herbs
- Healthy living encouraged
- Strictly a no smoking house
- Bedding, Pillows & Towels available, if requested.

I am a live in Landlord: Im easy going, respectful and mature. I spend many weeks & many long weekends away from home focused on outdoor adventures, mainly climbing and hiking. This year I hope to have a camper van to simplify my climbing adventures. The camper van will be available for housemates to rent at a discount.

Our rear garden is quite private with a sunny aspect from noon, till mid evening. It's a lovely garden for relaxing, reading, yoga, etc. Soon I will create a covered, sheltered outdoor eating area suitable for longer year round use in the cooler months.

So, that's the highlights, but for more details please read on!

Larchmont Road is mainly a family oriented area with a safe and friendly feel. Take a walk around. I call it the Village in the City. Within 800 meters to just over 1 mile, we have 3 Climbing walls, 4 Gyms, 3 with swimming pools, Universities, Colleges and the High Cross Cinema de Lux. The city has a thriving and friendly European style feel with many friendly bars and restaurants expanding and modernising at a brisk pace, especially now the canal side developments are moving so fast

We are less than 1 mile from River walks and cycling paths along Canal & around Abbey park, Leicesters largest green space. Two of the 3 hospitals are approx. 1 to 1.5 miles away. Bradgate country park and ancient forest walks are only 4 miles away.

We have a quick & effective cleaning rota, but also we encourage everyone to clean up straight after cooking.

I've noticed when renting to professionals and mature students the house seems very quiet most days. To encourage the peaceful ambience we have a library policy of no noise between 10pm & 8am and respectful after that.
NB: I've noticed most professionals spend the majority of waking hours working or exercising, and then studying or relaxing, and so the house is quiet on week days and most weekends. Sometimes I may try to organise a game or film night, but usually everyone is to busy.

If someone moves out, housemates can upgrade to larger bedrooms!

Large kitchen has extensive appliances, individual food storage, large fridge, freezer, water filter, Slow cooker, Double Sink, Microwave Cooker/Defroster, 4 gas hobs, 2 electric hobs. Large Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, slow cooker and Dutch ovens. All brilliant for fast or slow batch cooking.

Berkey Water Filter: The Berkey filters out pesticides, antibiotics, bacteria and viruses to approx. 99.99%. Glyphosate is reduced by approx. 75%!
See Berkey website.

This is not a party house, but 2 or 3 friends for dinner, or a barbeque is fine.
