Offering money as getting fed up of trying now-no one seems to be exchanging these days. £500 cash.

I have a huge two bedroomed maisonette,(ground floor ) in a cul-de-sac.

From the outside looks like a three story house, as there is a flat where the loft should be - as soon as you get in the front door is just like a house. I have own private front and back gardens, and beyond my private back garden is a huge secure grassed communal area for all of the residents to enjoy. I live on the end of the block.

These maisonettes are absolutely huge, much bigger than any other two bed property I have ever seen. There is double glazing througout, and we are on the district heating which is included in the rent (£315 per month rent and heating/hotwater) and you can use as much heating and hotwater without any extra cost, so it is very cheap place to live.

As you walk in the front door there is a small hallway which leads on to a huge kitchen/dining room. the stairs are open plan which come down into the kitchen. There is a large storage cupboard, walk in size which i keep my freezer and other bits and bobs in, just off the kitchen.

To the rear of the house is the lounge, large square shape, nothing really to say about that , it is a really large room, then through to the back garden. Upstairs I have two large double bedrooms, and a seperate bathroom and toilet. There is another walk in cupboard upstairs, which compensates for the loss of a loft, and an airing cupboard. The house is in reasonable but clean decorative state, I havent decorated for a couple of years, but its all clean.

It is a Leicester city council property, but I would consider housing associations. The council are coming out to re-wire the property over the next couple of weeks, which they give a decorating grant, so dependant on how long it is before I hear about a move, I may have started redecorating to make an exchange more appealing, or the decorating vouchers would obviously be yours if we decide to exchange before I have started decorating.

As I stated, It is a cul-de-sac, and is very quiet, i have decent neighbours, no problems there. The flats at the top are always reserved by the council for elderly people so you never hear a peep out of them.They have a warden controlled thing for them, but the maisonettes are families, all decent people

I would like to either stay in Leicester, but am also interested in Northampton, I have no connections with this immediate area, so I dont mind either staying in this area or moving to another area of Leic/Northampton dependant on what offers I get.

The parking is in a parking bay out front, and there are garages on the street, which you would have to arrange seperately with the council, i believe they are about £5 per week to rent.

Local amenities are excellent, there is a doctors practically next door, all shops you could need along uppingham road, and the bus stop for a trip in to town is literally 2 mins away. town itself is only ten mins away.

I have lived in this house for ten years and have been happy, and am now ready for a change. To be honest, I am at a place in my life where I am looking to exchange buy a house, and with these maisonettes, nice as they are, there is an unusual right to buy agreement with them from the council, you dont buy the property outright, you buy a 99 year lease - and I want to own outright. It all depends on what stage you are in your life, if you are looking to exchange to continue renting, or with a view to buy, but just so you know that it is a 99 yr lease that you purchase from the council with these, i looked into it a couple of years back.
