A light-filled two-bedroom duplex penthouse in the City Island area, positioned less than a mile from Leeds centre and the mainline station. The apartment’s double-height living room opens onto a north-facing balcony with river views, while a mezzanine level provides a defined study or sleeping area. The building includes lift access and allocated underground parking — a rare city-centre convenience.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (approx. 976 years), chain-free sale and double glazing throughout. The layout suits first-time buyers seeking a modern, characterful home with flexible living space: open-plan living and a mezzanine study enhance usable space within approximately 720 sqft.
Buyers should note important running costs and local context. The service charge is approximately £2,463 pa with a ground rent of £200 pa. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives. The development sits in a multicultural, student-heavy neighbourhood with higher local crime statistics and marked area deprivation, which may affect long-term rental demand and parking/security perceptions.
Overall this penthouse offers immediate city-centre living, secure allocated parking and strong leasehold security. It will suit purchasers who prioritise location, contemporary living and flexible space and who are comfortable with higher service charges and an urban, student-oriented neighbourhood environment.
