This newly renovated two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits within Kingswood Court, an over-55s complex a short walk from Wigston High Street. The flat has been comprehensively refurbished with a contemporary kitchen, modern shower room and new carpets throughout, creating a bright, ready-to-move-in home for downsizers.
Practical features include generous built-in storage, a Juliet balcony from the lounge, an accessible shower and residents’ off-street parking. The long lease (circa 963 years) and reasonable service charge (about £91.90 per month) provide tenure security and predictable running costs.
The location offers excellent local amenities, regular bus services and nearby rail links into Leicester. Buyers should note the property is leasehold, forms part of a communal retirement development, and the overall internal size is modest (approx. 558 sq ft).
The wider area shows higher crime and relative deprivation compared with some suburbs; buyers prioritising quiet or low-crime streets may wish to view at different times of day. Overall, this apartment suits someone seeking low-maintenance, centrally positioned retirement accommodation with contemporary finishes and easy access to local services.
