KEY FEATURES
 KITCHEN
Through the hallway is the bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area with wooden laminate flooring, light grey cabinetry, and warm wooden worktops offering excellent storage and preparation space.
Appliances include a tall fridge/freezer, built-in dishwasher, large oven/hob, extractor fan, and stainless-steel sink — all styled in a clean, neutral palette for a fresh, modern look.

 LIVING/DINING ROOM
At the far end, the living and dining area provides a cosy and sociable space, furnished with a round table and 4 chairs, a built-in window seat, armchair, wood burner, built-in shelving, and wall-mounted TV. The large bay window floods the space with natural light.
There’s also room to bring your own sofa to create your ideal setup.
A utility cupboard neatly houses a washer/dryer.
Please note that the TV and washer/dryer are provided as complimentary and will not form part of the inventory, and can be removed or tenants can take responsibility for these items.

 BEDROOMS
Bedroom 1:
The larger of the two bedrooms features laminate flooring, a black metal-framed double bed with mattress, wooden clothes rails, bedside tables, and built-in shelving. With plenty of space for your belongings and your own touches, you can easily make it your own. Patio doors open directly to the rear garden, letting in lots of natural light and fresh air.
Bedroom 2:
Decorated with soft grey carpet and white walls, this double bedroom comes with a black metal-framed bed, built-in storage, and space for extra furnishings. Bright, peaceful, and private — an ideal place to rest or study.

 BATHROOM
Modern and practical, featuring wood-effect lino flooring, WC, wash basin with built-in cupboard, and a walk-in shower cubicle with rainfall showerhead and extractor fan.
A mirrored storage cabinet provides additional space for toiletries.

 HEATING – SAVE MONEY, STAY COSY, LIVE GREEN!
The property uses two ultra-efficient heating systems designed to drastically reduce bills and environmental impact while keeping the home wonderfully warm:

1 The Woodburner
This compact, high-output woodburner can heat the entire property thanks to ThermaCote wall coating and ThermaFilm window insulation, which work better at retaining heat than triple glazing!
Even a handful of smokeless coal and logs will keep the home at a cosy 22°C for 24 hours.
A good supply of smokeless coal is provided in the outdoor metal bin, and a local log supplier (card on the mantlepiece) can deliver directly to the drive at great value.

2 Nexgen Infrared ECO Heating
The main heating system is an advanced Infrared heating system from Nexgen, using special heating paper installed in the ceilings.
This creates five individual heating zones, each with its own thermostat — all of which can also be controlled via a smartphone app.
Infrared (IR) heat warms objects and people directly rather than heating the air first, meaning:
Faster warmth
Lower running costs
Consistent, comfortable heat throughout the property

Because the heat is retained by the ThermaCote and ThermaFilm, the system runs efficiently, providing affordable, even warmth all year round.
When you move in, a Nexgen representative will visit to demonstrate how to use and optimise the system.
The combination of these eco-technologies means minimal energy waste and maximum comfort, helping you save money while protecting the environment.

 EXTERNAL
At the back, a private enclosed garden with patio and lawn provides a peaceful outdoor retreat — perfect for summer evenings or weekend relaxation. Surrounded by mature trees, the garden feels secluded and tranquil.
There’s access through Bedroom 1 or the side gate, and a shared driveway with one parking space is included at the front of the property.

 In Summary
This home offers a rare blend of modern living, eco-friendly innovation, and natural tranquillity — an ideal retreat for anyone who wants to live sustainably without sacrificing style or comfort.
Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind eco home in Kirkstall — save money, stay warm, and live green!
