Full Description

Offered to the open market for the first time since conversion, a stunning and unique, architect designed two/three bedroom apartment, located on the south west corner of the fourth floor of the renowned former Pick knitwear factory, with views across to New Walk.

This lovely home boasts light, and spacious accommodation retaining many original features including beautiful maple flooring, exposed brick and ironwork and large, reglazed steel framed windows. This dual aspect penthouse apartment also has two spacious balconies. Innovative additions include external electric blinds on sensors, and three 'heat distributing' ceiling fans, making it warmer in Winter and cooler in Summer via air circulation.

Location - This impressive redevelopment is widely considered to be the first real factory conversion to boast "New York" style loft apartments. Located in the heart of Leicester city centre, the area provides convenient access to the professional quarters and mainline railway station offering access to London St. Pancras in just over an hour, the Leicester and de Montfort Universities and the Royal Infirmary. The city's Cultural Quarter including Curve Theatre and Phoenix Square Cinema, along with an abundance of restaurants, bars and shopping facilities are just a short walk away.

Accommodation - The communal hallway houses postboxes, stairs and lifts to all floors. The apartment itself is entered via a solid wood front door reception area with clever storage, large windows with electric blinds and is open to a full-height dining area, which is flooded with natural light and offers further storage. Double doors lead into the sitting room, enjoying a vaulted ceiling, original ironwork and large full-length windows. From the sitting room French windows provide access to a generous south-west facing balcony.

The kitchen boasts an excellent range of solid Ash base level units with deep drawers and solid wood preparation surfaces with inset glazed cupboards providing storage space and electric points. The uniquely designed kitchen highlights some of the stunning original features in this apartment with a Neff stainless steel oven built into the exposed brickwork and a wooden storage cupboard below. There is a Franke one and a quarter bowl stainless steel sink and drainer unit with Insinkerator and integrated appliances including an 18-setting Neff electric hob with Elica extractor unit above, an LG stainless steel combi-microwave with wooden surround, a Hotpoint fridge and a Siemens dishwasher set within a solid Ash and Cherry wood built Island unit, providing further storage and breakfast bar space.

The spacious master bedroom has an excellent range of built-in storage, vaulted ceiling with ironwork and a second south-east facing balcony with stunning city views. An en-suite with part tiled walls and flooring and a heated towel rail provides a corner bath, enclosed WC, bidet, pedestal wash hand basin and a "Jack and Jill" shower cubicle. The second double bedroom, with glass block feature wall, is accessed from the hallway and leads through to a second en-suite bathroom. This bathroom includes part tiled walls and floor, inset ceiling spot lights, wash hand basin, low flush WC, bidet and the 'Jack and Jill' shower.
