A compact one-bedroom apartment on the third floor, ready to move into and offered with no upward chain. The open-plan living/kitchen makes efficient use of the 418 sq ft, and a secure communal entrance with lift provides step-free access to the block. An allocated off-street parking space and communal gardens add practical outside space seldom found so close to the city centre.
This property suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking central location and strong transport links; Leicester train station and the city centre amenities are within easy walking distance. The building dates from the 1980s and benefits from double glazing and electric storage heating, so running costs and heating responsiveness should be considered when budgeting.
Notable negatives are factual and important: the area is classified as very deprived with very high local crime levels, and the tenure is leasehold. The apartment is small and compact, so it may not suit buyers needing generous living space or long-term family accommodation. For investors, the location and ready-to-rent condition are strengths, but let and running-cost expectations must account for electric heating and communal maintenance obligations.
