This two-bedroom apartment in The Horizon places city-centre living within easy reach of Highcross, Curve Theatre and Leicester Railway Station. The open-plan lounge and kitchen create a practical social space, and both double bedrooms offer flexible layouts for sleeping, studying or working from home.
Practical points are clear: the flat is leasehold with 134 years remaining, and an annual service charge of £3,170.20 plus £150 ground rent. Parking is available for an additional £50 per month. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, and glazing is double but install date is unknown.
The building is a tower-block, with a Brutalist concrete exterior and compact balcony profile. The surrounding neighbourhood is a multicultural, largely student area with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and strong public transport — appealing for buy-to-let or a first purchase close to universities and city amenities.
Be candid about local risks: recorded local crime levels are high, which may affect some buyers’ priorities. For buyers seeking long-term ownership or rental income, the long lease and central location offer clear advantages, but factor in the service charge and the building’s communal maintenance needs.
