A chain-free two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Leicester’s city centre, offered with 233 years remaining on the lease. The flat occupies a generous footprint (approx. 939 sq ft) within a Victorian red-brick building and combines period exterior character with a modern open-plan kitchen/living space and an en-suite to the master bedroom. French doors from living and bedroom open onto a shared external seating area, bringing extra light and outdoor access.
Practical running costs and tenure are clear: leasehold with 233 years left, six-monthly service charge of £1,522.60 and ground rent of £165.52. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building has solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation, so expect higher heating costs and potential improvement work if you want more efficient heating.
Location suits buyers who prioritise city living — immediate access to theatres, cafés, transport and amenities — but the property sits in a busy, multicultural student neighbourhood where crime rates are higher and the area scores as deprived. That reality can affect resale and living comfort, so viewings are recommended to assess lifestyle fit.
This flat will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable city-centre home with character and growth potential, or buy-to-let investors targeting student or city-renter demand. The property is straightforward cosmetically but offers clear scope for energy upgrades and layout personalization to increase comfort and long-term value.
