The property is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment located in Leicester city centre, specifically in the Castle area. The apartment is part of a modern development, “The Bar Apartments,” and benefits from a private balcony. The location is excellent, with De Montfort University only 0.49 km away. Several other schools are also within a 1 km radius, making it attractive to students and families. Leicester train station is 1.44 km away providing good transport links. The proximity to the city centre suggests easy access to shops, amenities, and places of interest. Based on the photos, the apartment appears to be in excellent condition. It is modern, well-maintained, and finished to a high standard. There is no evidence of wear and tear or the need for renovation. The kitchen and bathrooms are contemporary and well-equipped. The property has a small balcony, but no garden. The plot size is listed as 0.00 sqft, indicating a lack of outdoor space beyond the balcony. The list price of £160,000 is considerably lower than the average price for the area (£302,231). However, the average sqft price in the area is £288, and this property is smaller (830 sqft) than the average (1047 sqft). Considering the modern condition, central location, and the lower price per sqft compared to the average, the list price appears reasonable, especially when compared to other nearby apartments listed for sale. Nearby apartments on Shires Lane are listed between £115,000 and £170,000.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
