Step into a spacious two-bedroom loft within a converted Grade II listed cotton mill, set just off New Walk in Leicester city centre. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen space feels generous thanks to high ceilings, exposed beams, sash windows and engineered wood floors, while the contemporary kitchen and ensuite offer practical modern comforts. At 931 sq ft with 107 years remaining on the lease, the flat offers strong floor area for its price and clear rental or owner-occupier appeal in a central location.
This property suits buyers seeking characterful city living or investors targeting student and professional lets. Running costs include electric room heaters, an EPC rating of D, an annual service charge of about £2,000 (plus buildings insurance £840) and ground rent of £150 per year. The building’s Grade II listed status and conservation area location preserve period features but will restrict some alterations and may complicate future works or extensions.
Practical considerations are straightforward: second-floor placement with lift access, mains services, double glazing fitted post-2002, and fibre broadband available. Note the local area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with very high crime levels reported; check suitability for intended use and insurance. Offered chain free, the flat is ready to occupy or let with minimal immediate works, though buyers should factor listed-building constraints and electric heating into budget plans.
