Superb two bedroom ground floor apartment in this sought after block located close to the Grand Union Canal. An ideal first time or professional purchase. Offered with no onward chain an early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this lovely home.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is a two-bedroom apartment located in Lock Keeper Close, South Wigston, Leicestershire. The apartment is part of a modern brick-built development situated beside a canal. The apartment itself appears to be in good condition. The interior photos show a clean and well-maintained space with modern fixtures and fittings. There is no visible evidence of damage or disrepair. While the plot size is the same as the square footage, indicating no significant garden, the development is located next to a canal, offering a pleasant waterside view. This could be considered a positive feature for some buyers. Considering the list price of £155,000, the average price for properties in the area is £233,095, and the average price per square foot is £245. This apartment is significantly smaller than the average (584 sqft vs 950 sqft), and its price is lower than the average. However, several nearby comparable properties on Lock Keeper Close have sold for similar prices, suggesting that the asking price is within the range of the local market for this type of property. The lower price may reflect the smaller size and lack of a private garden. Based on the provided information, the property appears to be reasonably priced for its location, condition, and size, considering comparable properties in the immediate vicinity. The proximity to the canal is a positive aspect, though the lack of a private garden may be a drawback for some potential buyers. The area benefits from relatively close proximity to schools and transport links.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
