Features and description
- Leasehold
National Residential are thrilled to present this charming ground floor studio apartment located in the esteemed Alexandra House Development, right in the heart of Leicester's vibrant Cultural Quarter.
This leasehold property comes with 104 years remaining on a 125-year lease from January 1,2003. The ground rent is £156.25 per annum, and the service charge is £130 per calendar month. It falls under council tax band B.
Alexandra House, a historic building dating back to 1897, was originally designed by the renowned Leicester architect Edward Burgess for Faire Bros Ltd. Once hailed as 'the finest warehouse in Leicester and one of the finest in the country, ' this iconic structure has been thoughtfully converted into 175 unique apartments. The building retains a wealth of original features and character, seamlessly blending the charm of the past with the conveniences of modern living.
Upon entering through the cast iron gate, residents are greeted by a communal hexagonal entrance lobby adorned with a domed vault embellished with blue and gold tiles. The studio apartment itself features an entrance hall with two cupboards providing ample storage, a bathroom with a WC, wash basin, and bath, a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and an open plan living space/bedroom. The building benefits from a secure fob entry system and retains its characterful features.
Nestled amidst a lively mix of independent cafes, bars, and restaurants, Alexandra House is just steps away from the Curve Theatre, Athena, Phoenix Square, and an array of public street art. The Cultural Quarter offers an ideal setting to immerse yourself in and enjoy the vibrant city lifestyle.
Leicester Railway Station, located within walking distance, provides convenient services to destinations such as Birmingham New Street, Nottingham, and London St Pancras International. Additionally, the Curve Theatre, Boost Trampoline Park Leicester, and Haymarket Shopping Centre are all less than a 15-minute drive away.
