This two-bedroom penthouse occupies a rooftop position in central Leicester, newly renovated and arranged around an open-plan living space with sliding doors to a generous wrap-around balcony. The apartment offers modern integrated kitchen fittings, a media wall, and plenty of natural light — ready to move into and suitable for city-centre living or buy-to-let use.
Practical details are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with 114 years remaining, and annual ground rent of £210. Service charges have risen recently to £2,648.37 for 2025/26 due to an unpaid communal water bill; the vendor advises this is a one-off increase and expects charges to reduce in July 2026 (historic charges were materially lower).
The property sits in a cosmopolitan, student-dominated neighbourhood close to the Athena Theatre and many amenities, making it convenient for commuting, entertainment and rental demand. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent, and the building is a period Edwardian structure with a modern rooftop extension that gives the apartment character and higher ceilings in places.
Be candid about material negatives: the local area records high crime levels and is classed as deprived, which may affect resale or certain buyers’ lifestyle preferences. Prospective purchasers should confirm all lease and service charge details with solicitors before committing. For buyers seeking a centrally positioned, recently refurbished penthouse with outdoor space, this property presents good short-term rental or owner-occupier potential, balanced against the neighbourhood and ongoing service charge uncertainty.
