Summary - 133 Kate Street LE3 5RL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, commuter-friendly apartment close to the hospital and transport links.
One-bedroom ground-floor flat, approximately 504 sq ft
This one-bedroom ground-floor flat offers an affordable entry into Leicester’s rental-rich LE3 area. At around 504 sq ft, the apartment delivers a double bedroom, a living room with large window and natural light, and a fitted kitchen — a straightforward, compact layout suitable for a first home or a buy-to-let.
The location is a genuine selling point: a short walk to Leicester Royal Infirmary, excellent public transport links and fast broadband and mobile signals make commuting and working from home easy. Resident off-street parking adds convenience in a city setting, and local shops and amenities are close by.
The interior shows its age and would benefit from modernization — dated 1960s/1970s finishes, patterned wallpaper and older glazing mean cosmetic and potential upgrade work is needed. The building is a leasehold with 87 years remaining; reported ground rent is low (approx. £10) but prospective buyers should confirm service charge and exact lease terms.
Be candid about the area: this is a very deprived neighbourhood with a very high recorded crime rate. That reality affects resale and rental values and should be weighed against the low purchase price and cheap council tax. For a buyer prepared to renovate or an investor targeting steady rental demand near the hospital, this flat represents clear value; for those seeking a quiet, low-crime suburb, it will likely disappoint.
