Summary - ST JOHNS CHAMBERS, 2 FLAT 4 ASHWELL STREET LEICESTER LE1 6JJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact central flat near station, ideal for first-time buyers seeking city living.
Converted Gothic Revival church with high ceilings and arched windows
Set within a Gothic Revival converted church, this ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers characterful high ceilings and large arched windows that bring natural light into generous rooms. The layout includes an L-shaped living area, separate kitchen and a double bedroom, making it a sensible first home or city-centre rental.
The flat is well-presented with recent electric heaters, double glazing and neutral décor throughout. Its central LE1 location is exceptionally convenient — Leicester Train Station, major bus routes and a wide range of shops and cafés are all within a short walk, making commuting and city living straightforward.
Buyers should note important practical considerations: the lease has around 59 years remaining, which may limit mortgage options and could require a lease extension; lenders may refuse to lend. Service charge and ground rent are payable and the building’s stone walls are likely uninsulated, so heating is solely electric room heaters.
This property suits a buyer looking for a compact, characterful city base or an investor targeting good central rental demand. Inspect to assess lease extension costs and running expenses before committing, and allow for potential improvement work to upgrade insulation and heating efficiency.
