2 Bed Apartment House For Sale Princess Road East, Leicester, LE1

Airy and light-filled, this two-bedroom apartment is spread across two floors of a charming Georgian terrace in New Walk’s conservation area. Exceeding 1000 square feet of living accommodation and benefiting from underground allocated car parking, the interior has been sensitively reappointed with period features preserved and a neutral colour palette employed that draws in the sunlight from several sash windows. Truly, a spectacular home that has been restored with the most incredible attention to detail whilst being offered with no upward chain. Retaining its handsome facade, the internal design builds on princely Georgian proportions by opening across two floors. On the ground level, the result is a flowing sequence of spacious rooms, characterised by natural light.

Positioned on the top floor of the building and with unrivalled views of Leicester city’s skyline and beyond, the property has been sympathetically refurbished to an incredibly high standard. From the entrance hall, to the left-hand side, is the principal reception room. Beautifully oiled hardwood creates a seamless transition between the rooms and coincides with sash windows that overlook New Walk’s green space. An incredible marble surround feature fireplace is positioned at the centre of the room, making an excellent focal feature paired with stylish panelling and modern pendant lighting with Georgian inspired covings that celebrate the era the home was built in. A well-appointed double bedroom can be found to the far end of the ground floor and is complete with a large sash window which overlooks the conservation area and row of Georgian townhouses. The kitchen is positioned on the ground floor and has been carefully modernised with a bold colour palette of deep burgundy which pairs effortlessly with the oak surface area and oiled hardwood flooring. A dining space occupies a corner at one end whilst a large island unit is positioned at the centre of the space, complete with three sets of modern pendant lighting. AEG integrated appliances, fridge-freezer, and induction hob with a concealed extractor hood allow for modern-day living whilst sufficient eye and base-level units can be found throughout the space. A meticulously decorated WC completes the ground-floor accommodation which is finished in an off-beige colour palette. A wide staircase opens to the first floor. Here, an expansive master bedroom suite benefits from fitted wardrobes, stylish panelling and sufficient space for all necessary furniture with dramatic church views through two sets of uPVC double-glazed windows. A spectacular four-piece family bathroom with porcelain tiling and oiled surfaces. Further attic-storage space can be found on the first floor, completing the accommodation on offer.

The property has the added benefit of underground allocated gated car parking and is offered with no upward chain. Gianfranco Paparozzi, our Partner, argues and says this is by far, one of the best city-centre apartments to come onto the market in recent months. Early viewing really is essential to truly appreciate the accommodation and overall finish this home has to offer.

What our clients have to say:

“ In the apartment, we have tried to create a calm, inviting space with contemporary touches. The highlights include the beautiful, oiled hardwood flooring, the contemporary/classic styling of the living room and the spacious principal bedroom. However, the best feature is it’s location. Even though it’s close to the city centre, the area is remarkably quiet and leafy, and we feel lucky to own a property on such a beautiful Georgian square. “
