This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers compact, low-maintenance city living in a gated riverside development just a short walk from Leicester city centre. At 431 sq ft the open-plan living/kitchen maximises light and flow, with French doors framing peaceful riverside views and an allocated parking space included. The modern fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom make the flat move-in ready for many buyers.
Practical running costs and tenure facts are clear: leasehold with c.102 years remaining, ground rent £150 pa and service charge £1,106.58 pa. Heating is electric with an electric boiler and radiators; the EPC is D, so buyers should expect higher-running costs than modern gas-heated homes. Double glazing is fitted, but installation dates are unknown.
This property suits buyers seeking a city-base or a rental investment close to universities and transport links. The wider area is a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but it also records above-average crime rates and wider area deprivation — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers and landlords alike. There is a public notice/repossession on file; prospective purchasers should take that into account and obtain independent legal advice.
