A practical ground-floor flat that suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward rental potential. The property offers a double bedroom, a living room opening onto a private balcony and a separate kitchen, all arranged over approximately 454 sq ft. Communal grounds and an intercomed entrance add modest convenience.
Important running costs and constraints are clear: the lease has about 116 years remaining and the service charge averages £2,355.36 per year (£196.28 monthly). Heating is provided by a community mains gas scheme and the EPC is rated D. Council tax is low, which helps running costs.
Location is functional — a short journey to Glenfield Hospital, local shops and major routes including the A46 and M1. That accessibility supports steady tenant demand but should be balanced against the area's high crime statistics and very deprived local profile, which may affect resale values and rental yields. Viewings are by appointment only.
For buyers looking to keep initial outlay modest, this flat delivers a turn-key, compact home or a straightforward rental unit. Those seeking long-term capital growth or a quieter neighbourhood may want to consider the stated local social and safety challenges before committing.
