Flat 18
De Montfort Court

Dating back to 1879, this handsome Victorian building has been thoughtfully adapted to accommodate contemporary living, while preserving its inherent architectural charm. Tucked away to the side of the conversion and accessed via a private staircase, the apartment occupies a discreet and peaceful position, an ideal first step onto the property ladder or a discerning addition to a buy-to-let portfolio with a predicted rental income of approximately £800-£850 PCM.

The internal layout has been carefully reconfigured, with a strong emphasis on design integrity and material quality. The main living space is open-plan and filled with natural light, courtesy of a large sash bay window to the front elevation. Parquet flooring runs throughout much of the home, adding warmth and character, while original picture rails and soaring ceilings hint at the building’s Victorian origins. A sleek, minimalist kitchen has been tastefully integrated, featuring an electric hob with concealed extractor, wooden worktops, and elegant pendant lighting that anchors the space. The double bedroom is generous, offering ample room for freestanding furniture and softened by twin frosted windows fitted with bespoke blinds. A recently installed three-piece bathroom completes the home, presented in a clean, modern palette that complements the apartment’s overall aesthetic.

There are two open, off-road car-parking spaces to the front of the development on a first-come, first-serve basis, otherwise, parking is available on nearby residential roads.

Competitively priced, this is a home that blends thoughtful modernisation with timeless features, an inspiring setting for daily life in one of Leicester’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
