This compact ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers efficient living across approximately 34 sq m (366 sq ft) in the desirable Stoneygate area of Leicester. The property benefits from a large double bedroom, a practical galley kitchen with oven/hob, and a separate bathroom — a straightforward layout suited to first-time buyers, young professionals or buy-to-let investors seeking rental demand near the university and hospital.
The building retains period character externally (Tudor Revival/Victorian terraces and bay windows) and the flat receives good natural light to the bedroom. Local transport links are strong, with easy access to Victoria Park, the University of Leicester, Leicester Royal Infirmary and the city centre — useful for commuting and tenant appeal. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as fast and excellent.
Buyers should note material considerations: the overall living area is small, and the flat sits in a ward with higher crime and area deprivation indicators. Tenure is not specified, which is a significant practical detail to confirm before proceeding. The property’s clustered layout and narrow rear garden limit outdoor space, and any purchaser should check communal maintenance arrangements and service charges if applicable.
For a buyer seeking affordable entry to the LE2 market, this flat represents a low-cost option (priced at £120,000) with clear rental or starter-home potential, provided you verify tenure, assess security/maintenance needs and decide whether cosmetic updating is required.
