This ground-floor studio at The Old Ground on Lineker Road offers a modern, compact home with generous internal space (approximately 765 sq ft) and contemporary finishes throughout. The open-plan layout includes a well-specified kitchen with handleless cabinets, high-quality worktops and LED under-unit lighting, engineered oak flooring and a tiled bathroom — ready to live in for work, study or city life.
Security and connectivity are clear strengths: gated sections, digital access, video entry screens, secure bike storage and nearby bus routes and healthcare. The location sits within easy walking distance of De Montfort University, the University of Leicester and major employment hubs, making it especially suitable for first-time buyers wanting city convenience or for investors seeking student or professional tenants.
Practical details to note: the property is leasehold (long lease ~999–1000 years), with an annual service charge of £930 and a car parking space available to purchase separately. A non-refundable £5,000 reservation fee is required to secure the flat. Heating is via mains gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown.
Be aware of some material concerns: the wider development area records very high crime levels, and the building fabric is solid brick with no known insulation (assumed), which could affect long-term heating costs or future retrofit needs. Buyers should check the full service charge breakdown, communal arrangements and local safety measures before committing.
