The Cotton Mill, City Centre, Leicester LE1

Situated within the historic Grade II listed Cotton Mill development, this impressive one-bedroom apartment combines character features with contemporary living in the heart of Leicester City Centre.

Ft., the property offers spacious and beautifully presented accommodation throughout, having been recently reinstated and refurbished to a high standard.

The centrepiece of the home is the stunning open-plan living, kitchen and dining room, measuring in excess of 29 feet. This substantial space is filled with natural light from three tall sash windows and showcases a wealth of original features, including exposed brick walls and a feature sliding door. These character elements are beautifully complemented by engineered oak herringbone flooring, which continues through much of the apartment and enhances the quality finish throughout. The kitchen area is fitted with a comprehensive range of units, a breakfast bar and a selection of brand-new, unused integrated appliances, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The double bedroom continues the characterful theme with exposed brickwork, fitted wardrobe storage and engineered oak herringbone flooring. A spacious Jack & Jill bathroom serves both the bedroom and hallway, featuring a panelled bath, separate walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC. There is also a useful utility cupboard which already houses a washing machine, providing practical laundry facilities and additional storage space.
