“This property is not worth the rate it has been set at.”
Until the property owner sets about a maintenance plan, it really shouldn't be let out. From worn and slippery carpets on the stairs, to the strange electrical setup for the upstairs en-suite extractor fan, the non working shaver light, the broken toilet seat and the dangerous sharp towel rail valve sticking out by the doorway in the "en-suite" shower room. Add in the useless shower head in the "family" bathroom and the seized up toilet seat/lid. Then we get to cleanliness, very old cobwebs everywhere, black greasy marks on the carpets and disgusting dust/dirt combination under the sofa cushions that I had to lift after something out of my pocket dropped in the gap. The rear yard/parking area gates are very difficult to open and close and the very dead, dry plants in the yard limit how far you can reverse your car in, if you do not want to scratch it. The kitchen is adequately equipped and although the beds were a bit lumpy, they sufficed. A lot of the window latching mechanisms are worn/hanging off and as described by a previous occupant, there's a random hole/dent in the wall, halfway up one stair case. The location is ok, although the bin lorries arrived twice in the week at 5am to service the backs of the shops and businesses adjacent to the back road behind the property and during the longer days of summer, don't expect a lie in anyway, the curtains do not stop any light getting in. The property owner seriously need to up their game to get the full potential of the property. All in all the property is a fail compared to previous Sykes properties I have stayed in and one of those was considerably older than this one. To sum up, it's a NO from me!
