Summary - 30 WINTERBURN GARDENS WHETSTONE LEICESTER LE8 6ZH
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Spacious two-bed first-floor home with stair lift and parking.
Warden-controlled over-55s development with communal gardens
This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits within a warden-controlled over-55s development in Whetstone, offering comfortable, low-maintenance living and immediate occupation with no onward chain. The layout centres on a generous lounge-diner with a fireplace, a practical breakfast kitchen and two well-proportioned bedrooms with fitted wardrobes — comfortable accommodation for downsizers seeking community and convenience.
Practical features include a stair lift for access, communal gardens and off-street parking, plus communal warden support. The property is leasehold (approx. 64 years remaining) and has an Energy Efficiency Rating of C and council tax band C. At around 727 sq ft, the apartment provides an easy-to-manage footprint with good natural light and double glazing.
Notable negatives are material and should be considered: the remaining lease term is limited (64 years) which could restrict financing options as some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend, and the home uses electric storage heating which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. The breakfast kitchen is dated and offers straightforward potential for modernization to increase comfort and value.
Overall this apartment will suit a downsizer or buyer seeking a retirement community setting who values convenience and communal facilities, and who understands the implications of a shorter lease and electric heating. Viewing is recommended for those prioritising location, size and communal support over long lease security.
