Summary - 79 Manitoba Road, Leicester, LE1 LE1 2FW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Practical city-centre flat, recently updated and ready to move into.
Sold with no onward chain
A compact, freshly modernised one-bedroom flat on the second floor, sold with no onward chain and ready for immediate occupation. The recently updated interior and double glazing give a clean, low-maintenance living space with good natural light and pleasant views across the neighbourhood. At about 497 sq ft, the layout is straightforward: lounge, practical kitchen with washer plumbing, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and a full bathroom.
Practical details suit first-time buyers or investors: leasehold with 116 years remaining, EPC C, mains gas via a community heating scheme, and fast broadband plus excellent mobile signal. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low, though an annual service charge of about £1,938 should be factored into budgets.
Location is a clear convenience: a short walk to the city centre, local shops, parks and a mix of state and independent schools nearby. That ease of access is a strong selling point for urban commuters or buy-to-let investors targeting central Leicester demand.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the property sits in a very deprived area with high local crime statistics, which will affect resale values and lettability for some tenants. The building is a mid-century, cavity-wall construction and communal systems are in use, so future communal works or service charge increases are possible. Overall, this is a practical, affordable city-centre flat offering immediate occupancy and clear short-term value, best suited to first-time owners or investors comfortable with the local area profile.
