Description
Occupying the uppermost floors of St George’s Mill, a former Victorian shoe-findings factory in the heart of Leicester’s Cultural Quarter, this striking two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex apartment spans over 1,300 sq ft across two levels. Defined by soaring double-height ceilings, vast arched windows, and exposed steel beams, the apartment balances industrial heritage with a refined modern sensibility. St George’s Mill stands as a testament to Leicester’s rich industrial past and its more recent cultural regeneration. Converted in the early 2000s, the building now houses a series of distinctive apartments, each imbued with the texture and scale of the original 19th-century structure. The mill is perfectly positioned within moments of the Curve Theatre, Phoenix Arts Centre, and the city’s independent creative hubs.
Entry to the apartment is via a generous hallway, where engineered oak floorboards run underfoot and natural light filters through the apartment’s dual aspects. To the left lies a bespoke kitchen, designed by renowned maker Joel LaRoza. The kitchen centres around a micro-cement island and features sleek timber cabinetry, an integrated fridge-freezer, a double oven and an induction hob. An arched window frames the space with soft light, while a separate utility room adds functionality without compromising form.
On the opposite side of the plan, the open-plan living and dining room is a triumph of space and light. Here, industrial features - painted steel beams and exposed brick — are softened by the warmth of oak flooring and a carefully chosen palette of neutral tones with vibrant accents. Modern spotlights line the ceiling, while expansive arched windows offer long views across the city. A discreet cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the landing opens onto two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room. Velux windows are electronically operated, allowing light to pour into the rooms, which also feature integrated storage solutions and space for additional furnishings. A third room, currently configured as a dressing room, could readily serve as a study or home office.
The apartment includes a secure underground parking space, with additional pay-and-display parking available directly outside alongside an intercom service providing security and convenience.
Available with no upward chain, it is in our Partner Gianfranco Paparozzi’s professional opinion that this is among the finest city-centre apartments currently on the market in Leicester. Early viewing is strongly advised.

Location:
Nestled within Leicester’s celebrated Cultural Quarter, St George’s Mill offers residents a front row seat to one of the city’s most dynamic neighbourhoods. Once the heart of the city’s hosiery and footwear industry, this cluster of converted Victorian warehouses now pulses with world class theatre at Curve and The Athena, avant garde film at Phoenix Arts Centre, and regular exhibitions, street art trails and live music in the LCB Depot. Beyond its creative credentials, the Quarter is a true mixed use village: independent cafés, cocktail bars and gastropubs line Granby Street and Castle Lane; artisan bakeries and farmers’ market stalls spill into Newarke Square; and a curated selection of boutiques and design studios means daily errands feel more like discovery. Commuters enjoy easy connections: Leicester Railway Station is a 15 minute stroll or a two stop bus ride away, while Haymarket and St Margaret’s bus stations sit within a 12 minute walk.
