Summary - ST JOHNS CHAMBERS, 2 FLAT 23 ASHWELL STREET LEICESTER LE1 6JJ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Unique cathedral-style two-bedroom near Leicester station, ideal for character seekers.
Grade II listed former church with dramatic vaulted ceilings
Set within a striking Grade II listed church conversion, this two-bedroom duplex offers dramatic cathedral-style living in Leicester city centre. Vaulted ceilings (up to 18ft), exposed oak beams and a full-height stained-glass window create instant character and abundant natural light across the open-plan living space.
The apartment occupies approximately 905 sq ft over two levels, with two double bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom and an upper-level living/dining/kitchen that makes a memorable entertaining space. Landscaped communal gardens, lift access and a short walk to Leicester station add practical city-centre convenience for commuters and professionals.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (113 years remaining) with a modest annual ground rent (£100). Grade II listed status protects original features but will restrict alterations and may require specialist consents and potentially higher-maintenance upkeep. The surrounding area has above-average crime statistics and is classified as very deprived; consider this for long-term suitability or rental prospects.
This apartment will appeal to buyers who value unique period character and dramatic interior volumes, and to investors seeking a distinctive city-centre let. It is less suitable for purchasers wanting a low-maintenance, easily alterable home due to listed constraints and urban location.
