I am looking for any ground floor accommodation to rent that doesn't have gas appliances - they are rare.
One that is all electric is the notorious 'Puddleside' flats.
Another is that new housing on Pickup St, but who in their right mind wants to live in Springhill!
Locally Puddleside seems the only option but has some drawbacks concerning vehicle access and there are no flats at ground floor level.
The area at the back has locked gates and only the 'pay extra to park there' residents can use it. I have tried to look at the front access on google maps and it appears that there is nowhere my grocery delivery van could park.
I have mailed the landlord to clarify this access problem.
If I get a favourable reply I might be on the move.

I think air fresheners should be banned. They are one of the most antisocial inventions ever. A relative of mine had the plug in ones all over her house and I couldn't breathe in there, don't know how she managed.
On the subject of grocery deliveries - if the company wants your custom, I bet they'd find a way to get the van there - surely you wouldn't be the only one in that complex who has a delivery?
