Summary - THE RIVER BUILDINGS, 28 APARTMENT 45 WESTERN ROAD LEICESTER LE3 0GR
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Large central apartment with gated parking, ideal for investors or commuters.
Spacious open-plan lounge and kitchen with balcony and natural light
This one-bedroom apartment in The River Buildings offers a spacious open-plan living and kitchen area with a balcony and allocated gated parking — features that appeal to renters and first-time buyers seeking low-maintenance city living. The large 26'8" x 18'2" reception space creates flexible living and working options and benefits from natural light through French doors.
The property sits close to De Montfort University, Leicester Royal Infirmary and local amenities, supporting strong tenant demand and short commutes. Practical details include built-in bedroom wardrobes, electric heating, an EPC B rating and a 102-year lease, which simplifies long-term ownership compared with very short leases.
Notable costs and local issues are set out plainly: an average service charge of £1,100pa and a ground rent of £150pa apply, and the neighbourhood registers above-average crime and higher deprivation levels. These factors may affect resale premiums and insurance costs and are important for buy-to-let planning or owner-occupiers concerned about local safety perceptions.
Overall, this apartment is a straightforward, modern city-base with clear rental appeal and manageable tenure, best suited to investors or buyers wanting uncomplicated access to central Leicester. Consider budgeting for communal service charges and factoring local area indicators into any letting or resale strategy.
