The Pick Building, 70 Wellington Street, City Centre, Leicester, LE1

If you’ve admired the iconic Pick Building from afar, now you have the unique opportunity to own a stunning apartment as your extraordinary, stylish home.

Located on the corner of Dover Street and fronting Wellington Street, from the moment you step into the communal reception hall of The Pick Building, you are greeted by amazing industrial architectural features, curved walls, tall ceilings, maple wood flooring and classic exposed brickwork that portray the rich history of the former Pick’s Knitwear factory.

This impressive apartment offers wonderfully bright and spacious accommodation with large traditional casement windows, curved lines and a mezzanine floor. From the communal reception hall, a lift and stairs take you up to the second floor. As you step out of the lift into the communal area, light shines through the window highlighting the fabulous laminate floor and unusual ceiling.

On entering, the hall has an entry phone system and a lovely wood floor that extends throughout the apartment. Immediately on the left is the cloakroom with a low-level WC and a wash hand basin with mixer tap and mirror above, while opposite is the laundry room and further along is a storage cupboard.

At the end of the hall is the lounge/dining room with an imposing window at one end through which plenty of light floods the room and a high ceiling that gives you a wonderful feeling of space. On one curved wall is a spectacular and colourful mural that is a focal point, while open tread stairs lead up to the mezzanine bedroom, which also has a wood floor.

Beneath the mezzanine is the kitchen, which is open plan to the lounge/dining room, has a range of modern wall, base and drawer units with wood work surfaces and upstands above, an integrated oven and Halogen hob with extractor hood above, an integrated dishwasher and washing machine, and lighting below the base units.


Off the main room is the principal bedroom offering ample space and an original window with exposed brickwork on either side. Adjacent is the third bedroom which is currently being used as an office/study. The fabulous luxury bathroom has a beautiful floor and a white suite comprising a curved bath with a central mixer tap, a shower attachment and tiled wall behind, a low-level WC, a contemporary wash hand basin on top of a vanity unit providing storage with a large mirror above, a heated towel rail and an independent shower cubicle with a rainwater shower and glass door.
