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.
Vendor comments:
" 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. The full range of kitchen appliances, fitted wardobes and concierge valet car parking is luxury living in the centre of the city. "
