A genuinely stunning duplex penthouse apartment positioned in the cultural quarter of Leicester. Having undergone an extensive refurbishment the home extends to over 1,700 sq ft and boasts City Centre views, roof terraces and high specification finishes throughout.

This 1,700 sq ft penthouse apartment is set within the 1930s Foister Building, a former hosiery factory which was sympathetically converted in the early 2000s. The current owner extensively redesigned and refurbished the apartment in 2022, with the outcome being a unique mix of contemporary fittings set within the duplex setting.

The entrance to the apartment is through a glass-covered walkway, leading into a hallway that boasts a striking WC adorned with hexagon tiles on one wall and a wall-hung toilet, as well as a separate utility room equipped with plumbing for a washing machine, a MegaFlo hot water system, and a Corian worksurface with a sink and drainer, accompanied by ample storage space.

The hallway offers dual entrances into the expansive living kitchen area. One entrance, via French glazed doors, opens directly into the living space, characterised by a remarkable double-height, half-vaulted ceiling adorned with exposed steel beams that traverse the entire length of the apartment. Abundant natural light bathes the dual-aspect room, providing sweeping views over the architecturally renowned Curve Theatre. The centrepiece of the space is an open-plan kitchen featuring Italian Carrara marble work surfaces wrapping around a breakfast bar, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and an array of kitchen units. Ideal for hosting gatherings, the living and dining area seamlessly flow together, with the dining section boasting French doors leading out to an outdoor terrace.

Ascending via a steel and glazed staircase leads to the first floor, where both bedrooms are located. The rustic master bedroom showcases unobstructed views of the City rooftops and includes a dressing area complete with built-in wardrobes, as well as a luxurious marble-tiled en-suite featuring a walk-in shower and a freestanding stone bath. French doors in the master bedroom open onto a private terrace with a south-facing aspect. The second bedroom is equipped with built-in wardrobes and an equally elegantly styled en-suite shower room.
An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully grasp the caliber of accommodation this property offers.

Additionally, the apartment benefits from secure allocated underground parking for one vehicle, as well as two outdoor spaces for the enjoyment of its residents.

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 24, 2021

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
