Summary - 185 Duplex at Watkin Road LE2 7AZ
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Light-filled apartment with garden and reliable rental income.
Two-bedroom duplex with open-plan first-floor living and fitted kitchen
Set across two floors in the Freemens Meadow development, this modern two-bedroom duplex offers reliable rental appeal and comfortable living. The open-plan first-floor lounge and fitted kitchen open onto a timber decked balcony, while both bedrooms have patio doors leading to a private garden and patio. An allocated off-street parking space adds practical convenience.
Currently achieving a rental income of £1,500 pcm, the property suits investors seeking steady income in a cosmopolitan, student-influenced area close to the University of Leicester and major hospitals. Constructed from 2007 onwards, the building benefits from double glazing and a mains gas boiler with radiators; the 133-year lease provides long-term tenure security.
Buyers should note the location’s student neighbourhood character, which can mean higher turnover and occasional noise. The apartment is mid-terrace, of average overall size (approx. 836 sq ft), and room dimensions are standard rather than generous. There is no reported flood risk and local crime levels are average.
This is a straightforward, modern investment with garden and balcony appeal and good transport links. Maintenance appears normal for a property of this age; buyers may wish to confirm service charge and management arrangements and check glazing install dates and any planned building works before purchase.
