This top-floor one-bedroom penthouse occupies a newly built development in walking distance of Leicester city centre. The apartment is bright and contemporary, with floor-to-ceiling bedroom glazing, an open-plan living/kitchen and French doors opening to a small balcony. A communal roof-top terrace delivers wide city views and an additional outdoor amenity.
The apartment is sold fully furnished and includes integrated appliances (electric oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washer-dryer). Practical features include lift access, two stairwells, secure entrance with intercom, communal electric meter cupboard and an extremely long lease (996 years). Service charges are modest for a new build at approximately £1,016 per year.
Notable running costs and limitations are clear: heating is electric room heaters (no gas central heating), main fuel is electricity, and parking isn’t provided onsite — only on-street parking is available. The property sits in a multicultural, student-heavy neighbourhood with a higher local crime rating, which will matter for those seeking quieter residential streets or on-site parking.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or city professional wanting a low-maintenance, move-in-ready city base with excellent connectivity and rooftop views. Investors should note the welcome to students but also the no-company-lets restriction and communal service arrangements.
