Summary - Flat 5, Braids Court, 502 London Road LE2 2PP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Well-proportioned first-floor home with garage and long lease.
Large lounge/diner with strong natural light
A deceptively spacious one-bedroom first-floor flat in a sought-after residential pocket between Oadby, Stoneygate and Clarendon Park. The apartment offers a large lounge/diner, separate kitchen and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, all benefitting from generous proportions and good natural light. A private garage en bloc and pleasant communal grounds set the block back from London Road.
Practical details will appeal to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors: a very long lease (c.946 years), low ground rent and an affordable annual service charge (circa £800–£1,000). The current owners have upgraded the storage heaters to slimline electric panel heaters and the flat is move-in ready in parts, though the building and some fittings show mid‑20th century styling.
Honest drawbacks: heating is electric (storage/panel heaters) rather than gas, which can affect running costs. The apartment sits in a purpose-built 1960s/70s block that would reward cosmetic updating and potential modernisation in places. The property is leasehold — check the full lease pack and ongoing service charge details before committing.
Overall this is a practical, well-proportioned city-edge flat that suits first-time buyers, professionals and investors seeking a long lease, convenient location, and scope to add value through light refurbishment.
