Description

Characterful duplex apartment set within a striking converted Victorian school house in the heart of Stoneygate. Offering generous living space over two floors, attractive communal grounds and excellent access to amenities, schools, transport links and green space, this unique home blends period charm with modern comfort.



Set within an impressive converted Victorian school house, this spacious duplex apartment offers character, space and a fantastic location, all wrapped up in a striking red-brick building full of original charm. Arranged over two floors and attractive communal grounds surrounding the development, it's a home that feels both distinctive and practical.

The building itself makes a strong first impression, with decorative brickwork, arched windows and an ornate entrance porch reflecting its heritage. Inside, the apartment has a bright and welcoming feel. The main living and dining room is a generous space, easily accommodating both a comfortable seating area and a full dining table. Large windows allow plenty of natural light, while the proportions make it ideal for everyday living as well as hosting friends and family. Just off the reception space is a well-fitted kitchen with a good range of units, integrated appliances and ample worktop space, designed to be both functional and easy to maintain.

Also on the ground floor is a well-sized double bedroom, perfect for guests, flexible use as a home office, or for anyone wanting bedroom accommodation on the lower level. The bathroom is smartly finished with a full bath and shower over, contemporary tiling and a clean, neutral style.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom really stands out. It occupies much of the upper floor and feels wonderfully open and airy thanks to rooflights and elevated windows. The size allows for a sleeping area along with additional space for dressing, storage or a work-from-home setup. Built-in storage helps keep everything organised, and the separation between floors adds a real sense of privacy.

Outside, the development is set within well-kept communal gardens with established trees, lawns and planting that create a peaceful setting.

The apartment sits in the ever-popular Stoneygate area of Leicester, known for its tree-lined streets and attractive period properties. Everyday amenities are close by along Allandale Road and Francis Street, where you'll find independent cafes, restaurants, convenience stores and local services. Leicester city centre is easily accessible and offers a wide range of shopping, leisure and cultural attractions including Highcross, Curve Theatre and a variety of bars and eateries.

Transport links are strong, with regular bus services along London Road providing straightforward routes into the city centre and surrounding areas. Leicester railway station is only a short distance away, offering direct services to London St Pancras and other major cities, ideal for commuters. Road connections via the A6 and A563 give easy access to the wider motorway network including the M1 and M69.

This is a home that combines space, character and location in equal measure. With its generous layout, attractive setting and excellent access to amenities, schools, green spaces and transport, it offers a great opportunity to enjoy one of Leicester's most sought-after residential areas.

All properties are competitively priced and carefully managed by motivated sellers for a quick, stress-free transaction.

Deposit

Sales can be secured with a reservation deposit of £5,000. This forms part of the final purchase price and is NOT an extra cost.

This deposit ensures that the property is taken off the market as soon as a sale is agreed. It is then exclusively reserved for you, eliminating gazumping, time wasting and financial loss.

An administration fee of £396 is required in order to draw up an exclusive legally binding contract between the buyer and seller. This gives the buyer exclusive rights to purchase within a pre-agreed timeframe.

Exclusivity

Following the payment of the above amount, Springbok Properties will facilitate a fixed exclusivity period (approximately 12 weeks). During this time, surveys should be arranged and preparations made for the exchange of contracts. The property will be reserved, so there will be no risk of gazumping.
