Summary - 32 WINTERBURN GARDENS WHETSTONE LEICESTER LE8 6ZH
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Larger lounge and two double bedrooms in a quiet, well-served village location.
First-floor two-bedroom retirement flat with assisted warden control
This first-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat sits in a quiet Whetstone street and is designed for independent over-55s living with assisted warden control. The large lounge and two double bedrooms give more space than many retirement apartments, and windows to front and rear bring good natural light. The layout is traditional and straightforward, making it easy to adapt furniture and storage for comfortable, low-maintenance living.
Practical features include double glazing, electric storage heating and a fitted kitchen with room for essential appliances. Local amenities — shops, pubs, pharmacy, and regular bus links — are all close by, and nearby primary schools and community facilities add to the village feel of this part of Blaby.
Important practical considerations: the lease started in 1990 and currently has 64 years remaining. That limited lease length may affect mortgage availability and resale value; many lenders will refuse mortgages on leases under this term. The flat is sold as leasehold with an annual service charge of about £1,992, and buyers should budget for possible additional leasehold fees and enquiries.
The interior shows some dated elements (carpet, heating and some finishes) and would benefit from cosmetic updating to suit modern tastes. For a downsizer seeking space, community and straightforward living, this property offers good potential — provided you check lease, lending and service-charge implications carefully.
