Summary - FLAT 3, 35 WATKIN ROAD LE2 7AH
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Perfect for students, professionals or investors seeking central, low-maintenance city living.
Two double bedrooms with good natural light
Set over two floors, this two-double-bedroom duplex offers practical, low-maintenance city living just moments from Leicester University and the Royal Infirmary. The open-plan living and dining room benefits from large windows and pleasant views towards the city stadium, while the contemporary kitchen and fully tiled bathroom provide move-in-ready convenience.
The building is modern (post-2012) with double glazing, secure entry and fast broadband and mobile signal — helpful for studying, working from home or lettings. At around 819 sq ft the apartment feels roomy for its type and will suit first-time buyers, young professionals or buy-to-let investors seeking a central location with strong rental demand.
There are some practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 133 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £2,556 and a ground rent of £200. Heating is electric via room heaters, which can be more costly than gas where used frequently. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-oriented area, so expect higher footfall and some local noise at times.
Overall, this duplex is a convenient, contemporary home in a well-connected part of Leicester — attractive for anyone prioritising location, low-maintenance living and rental potential, provided the leasehold costs and electric heating suit your budget.
