Summary - Flat 7, 2d Tichborne Street, LEICESTER LE2 0NQ
2 bed 1 bath Duplex
Chain-free 2-bed duplex near station — good lease, allocated parking, needs energy upgrades.
No upward chain, immediate vacant possession potential
This two-bedroom duplex offers a practical, well-located entry into Leicester's rental and owner-occupier market. Arranged over two levels, the apartment features an open-plan living area with a modern fitted kitchen and two bedrooms on the upper floor. One allocated off-street parking space and a long lease (999 years) add tangible ownership benefits.
The property is chain-free and sits close to Leicester Railway Station, the University of Leicester and the city centre — attractive for commuting students and young professionals. The living spaces benefit from high ceilings and large windows that bring in natural light, and the kitchen has recent, modern fittings and built-in appliances.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold with a share of freehold: service charge approximately £1,500 per year and ground rent £100 per year. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building has solid brick walls assumed to lack insulation, contributing to a low EPC rating (E, 39). These items are practical upgrade opportunities but may affect running costs.
The immediate area is classified as very deprived with higher crime levels than average; that reduces appeal for some buyers but supports rental demand from students and lower-cost renters. For first-time buyers seeking a commuter-friendly base or investors targeting strong rental lines, this duplex is a straightforward, value-focused purchase provided planned maintenance or energy upgrades are budgeted for.
