Set within the iconic Wheatsheaf building, this loft-style one-bedroom apartment makes city living compact and characterful. Tall ceilings, large factory windows and exposed brick create an airy, light-filled living space, while the mezzanine adds flexible storage or a snug work area. The open-plan fitted kitchen, dining and living area suit modern, social living and feel larger than the square footage suggests.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space and a long lease (113 years). The property sits close to local shops, transport links, the University of Leicester and good primary and secondary schools, making it suitable for a first-time buyer, a professional couple or a buy-to-let investor seeking strong rental demand.
Buyers should note straightforward but material running costs: an average service charge of £3,192pa and a ground rent of £150pa. Heating is via a community electric scheme and the EPC is rated D. The wider neighbourhood records higher crime and is classified as an area of deprivation, which may affect resale or rental prospects for some buyers.
This apartment offers a stylish, low-maintenance base in a converted Victorian industrial building, with clear potential for someone seeking immediate move-in with scope to personalise. Viewings are advisable to appreciate the high ceilings, natural light and mezzanine layout in person.
