Summary - 2 FLAT 30 MARQUIS STREET LEICESTER LE1 6RS
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Loft-style two-bed flat close to Leicester city centre — ideal starter home or buy-to-let.
Recently renovated with exposed brickwork and high ceilings
This recently renovated two-bedroom apartment in The Driver Building combines industrial character with city-centre convenience. Exposed brickwork, high ceilings and large windows give the principal living space a loft-like feel, while an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner maximises the 582 sq ft footprint. The building sits close to the professional quarter and transport links, making it practical for commuting or renting out.
Practical details suit first-time buyers: a long lease (104 years remaining) and double glazing are in place. Basement parking can be rented from the management company, though spaces are not included in the sale. Heating is electric via room heaters, so energy costs may be higher than gas-heated homes.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold apartment in a predominantly student and multicultural neighbourhood with higher local deprivation. Service charges average £1,900 per year and additional leasehold or management fees (including parking) may apply. The property is ideal for someone seeking a characterful city pied-à-terre or an investor targeting the local rental market, but purchasers wanting lower running costs or quieter streets should factor these trade-offs into their decision.
