Compact second-floor home with parking and city-centre views.
Chain free second-floor apartment with private balcony
Step into a bright, compact apartment in Leicester’s Cultural Quarter, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation. The open-plan kitchen/living room benefits from high ceilings, large warehouse-style windows and a private balcony, giving a surprising sense of space in a 377 sq ft home. An allocated off-street parking space is a rare city-centre convenience.
The bedroom is a comfortable double and the bathroom is modern; the property has double glazing and an EPC rating of C. The flat sits in a converted Victorian industrial building close to restaurants, theatres and the railway station — excellent for first-time buyers wanting city life or investors seeking easy-let potential.
There are some practical downsides to note: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, broadband speeds in the area are reported very slow, and the building sits in a neighbourhood with high recorded crime and wider area deprivation. The property is leasehold with about 106 years remaining and an average annual service charge around £2,820 — factor these into ownership costs.
For buyers prioritising central location, original character and low entry price, this apartment offers a workable city-base with scope for cosmetic improvement. For those sensitive to ongoing bills, security or internet speed, a viewing and detailed cost check are recommended before committing.
