Hinckley Road, Leicester, LE3

Offered at auction, this freehold property occupies a prominent position in Leicester’s Westcotes area, around a mile from the city centre. The substantial Victorian building is arranged over four levels and provides approximately 2,759 sq ft of accommodation. It was originally built for residential use, later converted for educational purposes, and most recently operated as an adult learning centre. Vacant possession is available. The existing layout includes a reception area, offices, larger training and classroom rooms, kitchen facilities, WCs and storage. A rear extension was added in the late 1980s. The building retains a traditional frontage with a double-height bay window, and has secondary access from Norfolk Street. There is a small front forecourt and a limited rear area, but no dedicated on-site parking. The property is understood to fall within Use Class F1(a) and is in the West End Conservation Area, which is subject to an Article 4 Direction. Its former residential use and scale may be relevant to purchasers considering a different use or redevelopment, but any proposal would require investigation of planning and other statutory requirements. The online auction legal pack and special conditions should be reviewed, and buyers are responsible for their own legal and financial enquiries before bidding.
