This 1-bedroom maisonette in Leicester is a council home let by Leicester City Council, offered for mutual exchange. It has a ground floor entrance, a communal garden, on-road, with permit and adaptations for disabled access. Pets are allowed. The rent is £435.00 a month. The tenant wants a similar-sized home, ideally a bungalow or maisonette with 1 bedroom, in or near Crook, County Durham, Bb4 or Rossendale.
More details
I have a one-bedroom maisonette in Leicester with a shared back garden. Although the garden is shared with the upstairs neighbour, she has never used it during the time I've lived here, so it has generally been quiet.
The property has central heating and double glazing. The area is fairly quiet, although the main road nearby can get busy during rush hour. The city centre is approximately a 20-minute walk away, and local amenities are accessible.
