Summary - 32, Westleigh Road, LEICESTER LE3 0HH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable central spot near shops, buses and local amenities.
Long lease 163 years with low ground rent £33
Set on the first floor of a Victorian terrace just off Narborough Road, this one-bedroom leasehold apartment offers straightforward, affordable city living. The lounge and bedroom are fitted with wood flooring and high ceilings give rooms a feeling of space; the kitchen-diner includes integrated appliances and a wall-mounted Worcester Bosch boiler. The long lease (163 years), modest service charge and low ground rent support an easy-running ownership cost profile.
There are clear positives for a first-time buyer or investor: a well-laid-out living space, gas central heating, double glazing and permit on-street parking with communal rear parking. Local amenities, frequent buses and nearby schools are all within walking distance, suiting someone who needs convenience and transport links.
Buyers should note some important issues: a visible damp/mould stain in the bedroom will require investigation and repair, and the building’s original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated — insulating work may be needed for improved energy efficiency. The neighbourhood records very high crime levels and is in a deprived area, factors to weigh for owner-occupiers considering long-term comfort or families prioritising tranquillity.
Overall this apartment presents a practical, affordable entry into the market with potential to increase value through relatively modest cosmetic and thermal-improvement works. An internal inspection is advised to assess the bedroom damp and to appreciate the room proportions and natural light.
