Spacious penthouse living is delivered across 1,324 sq ft in this modern three-bedroom apartment, with a private rooftop garden offering wide city views. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space opens through patio doors to outdoor space, creating a bright, flexible heart for family life. All three bedrooms are doubles: the master benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite, the second has its own en-suite, and the third has Jack-and-Jill access to the family shower room.
Practical comforts include gas central heating, air conditioning, double glazing and two allocated parking spaces in secure basement parking. The building sits within maintained communal grounds and was constructed 2007–2011, so the fabric and fittings are relatively recent. The long lease (approx. 140 years remaining) provides ownership security for buyers.
Important costs and neighbourhood context: this is a leasehold property with an average service charge of £4,000 and ground rent of £300 per year, and council tax is described as expensive. The wider area is classified as cosmopolitan with student neighbourhoods nearby and easy access to Leicester city centre, the University and the Royal Infirmary — useful for commuters but potentially busier at term times.
This apartment will suit a family wanting generous indoor-outdoor space close to city amenities, or an investor seeking a large, well-equipped unit with strong transport and rental demand. Buyers should budget for the ongoing service charge, ground rent and higher council tax when assessing overall running costs.
