Wonderful waterfront city living

Exclusive new duplex and penthouse apartments at Roman Wall, Westbridge Wharf in Leicester are the perfect choice for those who want to move into a modern, easily maintained, city centre home without compromising on space and style.

"Visitors to the canal-side development will be able to appreciate that, although the accommodation is laid out in apartment style, you actually get the same sort of space, if not more, as you would in a traditional house," says Donna Smith of selling agents Connells. "But what you also gain is the convenience and security of apartment living."

The apartments, which have views over the city and waterfront, have been built to a very high specification by Living in the City. Their location is fantastic - situated on the edge of the city centre and moments from the cosmopolitan Braunston Gate, with its selection of independent bars and restaurants, makes these apartments a superb choice both for young professionals and older people downsizing to a more manageable home. The area is undergoing a huge transformation with the council and developers working together to create a high quality residential quarter along the riverside.

The building exudes quality from the moment you enter the marble clad reception area and this is continued into the homes themselves. All the duplex and penthouse apartments have modern open plan living accommodation which is extended by a good sized terrace for al fresco dining. Kitchen areas are fitted with a range of units, granite worksurfaces, integrated stainless steel washer/dryer, oven, hob and fridge/freezer. Stunning bathrooms have marble tiled walls and floors. All the spacious master bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms and many also have a dressing room.

Westbridge Wharf has its own fitness suite and a room that can be hired out for meetings by those working from home.

"Leicester is changing and there are lots of exciting things happening, including a major new theatre and a fabulous shopping centre with a John Lewis department store, 120 other big name shops, a cinema and stylish restaurants and cafes. Westbridge Wharf is ideally placed to take advantage of all of these," says Development Manager Laura Harding.

"The regeneration of the city centre is bound to push up property prices and rentals so this is a great opportunity to buy now and get ahead of the game."

Prices for the duplex apartments at Westbridge Wharf on Bath Lane start at £280,000. There are also a variety of one and two bedroom apartments still remaining with prices starting from £169,000.
