Uppingham Road, Billesdon LE7

A Charming Georgian Conversion in the Heart of Billesdon

Here’s a brilliant opportunity to own a beautifully maintained first-floor apartment, tucked inside a striking Georgian building right in the centre of the ever-popular East Leicestershire village of Billesdon.

Originally built in the 1830s as a grand family home, The Maltings is an impressive period property thoughtfully converted into a small collection of self-contained apartments. Apartment 3 sits on the first floor and offers a fantastic option for first-time buyers, investors looking to grow a buy-to-let portfolio, or anyone looking to downsize in style within a thriving village community.

You can access the apartment either via a private rear staircase or through the elegant main communal entrance with its traditional timber front door. Inside, the current owners have maintained the home to a high standard, combining classic features with a contemporary feel.

At the rear, the breakfast kitchen overlooks a peaceful gravelled courtyard and mature trees, and comes well-equipped with matching wall and base units, wood-effect flooring, integrated appliances (including fridge freezer, oven, gas hob and extractor), a stainless steel sink with mixer tap, and a handy breakfast bar.

A central ‘L-shaped’ hallway leads you through to the spacious living room at the front of the apartment. Thanks to its high ceilings and large sash window, the room feels bright and airy, offering a charming view across the village green. There’s also built-in shelving and an additional access door to the communal hallway.

The double bedroom sits peacefully at the rear of the apartment and benefits from more views of the trees, along with built-in wardrobes and space for additional furniture. The bathroom completes the accommodation, fitted with a white suite including a bathtub with shower over, WC, wash basin, and clever shelving for extra storage.

Outside, there’s allocated off-road parking for residents in the shared courtyard to the rear.
