Set on the fifth floor with lift access, this chain‑free two-bedroom apartment offers a central Leicester address and secure underground parking. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and Juliet balcony bring in city views and natural light across an average-sized 700 sq ft layout. Integrated kitchen appliances and a video entry system add immediate convenience.
The property requires renovation throughout: the boiler needs replacing and the flat would benefit from a general refresh. It is best suited to cash buyers or investors prepared to complete works; the long lease (979 years) removes a common leasehold concern. Broadband is average and mobile signal is excellent; the building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has partial cavity wall insulation.
Practical positives include secure allocated underground parking, lift access, double glazing and underfloor heating linked to the existing boiler system. Be candid: the location serves a busy city centre with higher crime levels than suburban areas, so buyers should factor security and lettability into plans.
For an investor or a buyer seeking a city pad, this apartment offers clear scope to add value through refurbishments. With nearby schools, amenities and transport links, the flat presents a straightforward project for those who can proceed without a sales chain.
