This bright two-bedroom, two-bathroom ground-floor apartment occupies an attractive Victorian building in New Walk Conservation Area. The property offers a contemporary open-plan kitchen/living area, high ceilings in period rooms and one allocated off-street parking space — useful in the city centre.
The principal bedroom includes an ensuite; a second good-sized bedroom and a separate bathroom complete the layout. The apartment is chain free and has 103 years remaining on the lease (orig. 125 years from 2003), making it suitable for first-time buyers or professionals seeking a ready-to-move-in home with investment potential.
Be clear about the neighbourhood context: this part of LE1 is a multicultural, student-focused area with above-average crime statistics and high local deprivation. The building dates from 1900–1929 and has solid brick walls that are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation; buyers should budget for potential thermal and sound upgrades.
Practical details: tenure is leasehold, heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators, broadband and mobile signal are good, and there is no known flood risk. The straightforward layout and city-centre location give flexibility — live in, rent out, or improve to add value — but factor in maintenance and possible retrofit costs.
