Luxury One-Bedroom Contemporary Apartment in Clarendon Park

An exceptional one-bedroom apartment within the award-winning conversion of Madeleine House, an iconic Victorian school building in the highly sought-after Clarendon Park area of Leicester. Offered for sale with no upward chain.

Combining original architectural character with sophisticated contemporary design, this beautifully presented residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy stylish, low-maintenance living within one of Leicester’s most desirable neighbourhoods.

The apartment features a bright and spacious open-plan living and kitchen area, creating an impressive setting for both entertaining and relaxed everyday living.

The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with integrated appliances and quality fittings, while the overall specification reflects careful attention to detail throughout. The result is a home that successfully blends the character and proportions of a period building with the comfort, convenience and elegance of modern apartment living.

Madeleine House forms part of a distinctive Victorian school conversion, originally constructed around 1890 as St. John’s Church School. Situated within the Stoneygate Conservation Area, the building retains an appealing sense of history and architectural character while having been sympathetically transformed into residential accommodation in the late 2000s.

The quality of the conversion was recognised in the 2009 Civic Society Awards, adding to the building's appeal and provenance.

Clarendon Park is renowned for its attractive period architecture, leafy surroundings, independent cafés, restaurants and excellent local amenities. The area is particularly popular with professionals and those seeking a sophisticated city lifestyle with a strong sense of community, while remaining conveniently positioned for Leicester city centre, the University of Leicester and surrounding areas.
