An incredibly rare opportunity to acquire one of only three penthouse
apartments built in this iconic Grade ll listed development which provides an
excellent opportunity for modern city - centre living or alternatively a great
buy to let investment with the property previously being let at £1500 pcm.
Completed in 1897, Alexandra House was designed by Leicester architect Edward
Burgess for Faire Bros. Ltd, one of the largest boot and shoe lace
manufacturers in the world. All the ground floor windows are embossed with a
floral design integrating the company name and the building is clad in buff
terracotta with a polished marble plinth. Alexandra House was restored in the
early 2000s and was converted into 175 apartments, the majority being studio,
one and two - bedroom apartments with only a handful of three - bedroom apartments
being made.
Accommodation is spread across two floors with a deceptively spacious entrance
hall providing access to two double bedrooms (one with three - piece en - suite
and a separate balcony), one single bedroom and a three - piece family bathroom.
The main bedroom benefits from a three - piece family bathroom, ample space for
free - standing wardrobes and desk and access through sliding doors onto a
spacious and private balcony with astroturf greenery. A further double bedroom
is generous in size whilst a third and final bedroom would make an ideal study
or alternatively a single bedroom. Ascend the staircase and you're greeted
with a stunning, bright and contemporary designed open plan
kitchen/living/dining area with access onto an astroturf grass laid balcony
with seating area, overlooking the south - facing communal courtyard, Leicester
city and beyond. The kitchen benefits from all relevant appliances with
electric hob, integrated oven and concealed extractor fan alongside ample
kitchen preparation and surface area. With sliding doors to the balcony, there
is an abundance of natural light which floods the entire top floor
accommodation whilst providing a rarity of outdoor space with apartment
living. The apartment comes with added benefit of secure allocated car parking
for one vehicle, benefiting with the use of a concierge.
The duplex design consists of two floors of grand living space arguably
equivalent to the size of two apartments or even some houses found in nearby
Clarendon Park and Knighton village (based on square footage). With there
being an incredibly limited amount of penthouse apartments often found for
sale, let alone in this particular development, it is with the agent's
reccomendation an internal viewing is essential to appreciate the
accommodation on offer.
Leasehold details:
\ - Service charge - £3, 398 per year including ground rent.
\ - Annual concierge parking - £1, 190 per year.
\ - 105 years remaining on the lease.

" I was delighted to move into a penthouse from my tiny flat in Camden, this
large open plan living space opening on to a large garden balcony is great for
entertaining my friends and family, my guests love staying over in the extra
guest bedroom which has an additional garden balcony. T he full range of
kitchen appliances, fitted wardobes and concierge valet car parking is luxury
living in the centre of the city. "
