Compact, convenient flat ideal for new buyers or city investors.
Chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat in city centre location
A compact one-bedroom first-floor apartment in a period conversion, positioned in the heart of Leicester city centre. The flat offers a separate lounge, a modern kitchen-diner with integrated appliances, and a double bedroom — a practical city base for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor targeting students and professionals.
The property is chain-free and benefits from excellent local transport and amenity access: universities, the Royal Infirmary and the train station are all within walking distance. Low council tax (Band A) and an outdoor communal courtyard add to the day-to-day convenience.
Important leasehold details and running costs should be noted: approximately 91 years remain on the lease, ground rent is £100 per year and the current service charge is £936.46 per six months. Heating is electric and the EPC is rated D, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated alternatives.
The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan student area with fast broadband and strong mobile signal, but it scores high for deprivation and has above-average crime levels; buyers should consider this when assessing suitability and security measures. Overall, this compact flat offers immediate city-centre living with scope for short-term rental or hands-on improvement to boost value.
