Summary - FLAT 2, 1, TICHBORNE STREET, LEICESTER LE2 0NQ
2 bed 1 bath Duplex
Characterful city-centre duplex with parking and long lease, ideal for first-time buyers willing to upgrade..
Two-bedroom duplex with open-plan living kitchen/diner
A bright two-bedroom duplex in a Victorian building, offered with no upward chain and a 999-year lease. High ceilings, bay windows and open-plan living give this apartment a spacious, characterful feel suited to first-time buyers seeking nearby transport links and local amenities.
Practical positives include one allocated off-street parking space, an average-sized 797 sq ft footprint, and proximity to Leicester city centre, station and university. Council tax is very low, and the long lease removes common short-lease purchase concerns.
Notable drawbacks you should factor in: heating relies on electric room heaters, the EPC rating is E (39), and the building has solid brick walls likely without insulation. The property sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate, and there is an annual service charge of around £1,500 plus £100 ground rent.
This apartment is best for a buyer wanting character and location at a modest price, and who is prepared to upgrade heating, insulation and energy efficiency over time. It also suits investors targeting strong rental demand near the university and station, though area challenges should be considered when assessing yields and management needs.
