The Pick Building, Wellington Street, Leicester

A spacious and beautifully presented, one bedroom ground floor apartment located within the highly sought-after former Pick Knitwear Factory. Converted over 20 years ago, The Pick Building is still considered the flagship within Leicester; first real factory conversion in the city to boast “New York style” loft apartments.

The building retains many original features, with both the communal areas and apartments enjoying tall ceiling heights, exposed brickwork, original solid maple floors and large re-glazed steel framed windows.

Location - The Pick Building is an impressive development located in the heart of Leicester city centre on Wellington Street providing excellent access to the Professional Quarters and mainline railway station with links to London St Pancras, along with the city's Cultural Quarter which includes The Curve Theatre and Phoenix Square Cinema along with restaurants and shopping facilities.

Accommodation - A communal entrance hall houses post boxes, stairs and lifts to all floors. The apartment itself is entered via a solid wood front door into a welcoming entrance hallway with beautiful wooden flooring that continues seamlessly throughout the property, including the bathroom. The open plan living area is just stunning; showcasing original features such as exposed brickwork and multiple wooden double glazed bay windows, all providing gorgeous views of the church and surrounding area. A distinctive feature window marks the site of the original entrance to the Pick building, complete with a hatch leading to a small basement storage area (not full standing height). The kitchen follows a freestanding layout, including wall and base level cupboards, a double stainless steel sink, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a fridge freezer. Appliances include a Smeg oven with a gas hob and extractor fan, and a brand-new Worcester Bosch boiler. The space is flooded with natural light and framed with attractive covered beams.

The spacious bedroom offers built-in cupboards, a dressing table with mirror and overbed cabinetry, beam work and a wooden bay window that perfectly frames picturesque views of the adjacent church. The bathroom boasts a stylish and practical design with an enclosed WC, a wash hand basin and a contemporary metal-finish bath with a shower overhead. The walls are part tiled, there is a fitted mirror, inset ceiling spotlights and a cast iron “school style” feature radiator.

Parking - The apartment benefits from one allocated car parking space with electronically controlled, gated access.
