Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom apartment in Leicester city centre presents a promising opportunity for city living. Located in The Squirrels Building on Colton Street, the property benefits from an enviable location, providing easy access to Leicester’s amenities, transport networks, and several educational institutions. The apartment appears well-maintained from the photographs, though some minor modernisation or cosmetic upgrades could enhance its aesthetic appeal. The photos reveal a reasonably sized living area, a functional kitchen, and two bedrooms with adequate storage. The bathroom seems clean and adequate, though, again, a refresh may improve the look and feel. A key feature is the outdoor space, which although not extensive, offers a private balcony. This is a definite plus, especially for a city centre apartment. However, a notable drawback is the lack of information regarding specific square footage for comparative properties in the area, making a precise price evaluation challenging. Similarly, the complete absence of details about the plot size limits our understanding of what’s included. Overall, the apartment showcases a blend of convenience and adequate living space. Its centrally located, and while lacking extensive private land, presents a decent living space in the heart of Leicester’s city. This would be very suitable for first-time buyers or investors interested in rental potential.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
