Merttens Drive, Rothley – the deal every investor and first-time buyer has been waiting for...
If you’ve been watching the market and wondering when the right property would appear, stop scrolling - this is it. This property is a rare freehold apartment in the heart of sought-after Rothley that practically prints opportunity.
Immediate cash flow, immediate flexibility
There is a current tenant, but optional to the buyer whether they stay. Prefer vacant possession? No problem - tenancy is expected to end before completion, so you can raise the rent, move straight in, or stage for resale. Either path points to profit - and with no ground rent or lease complications, that freehold status keeps long-term costs firmly in check.
Space that surprises
Up your return on investment with a layout that feels bigger than its square footage. The expansive 5.1 m × 5.4 m lounge–kitchen–diner is an investor’s dream: Open-plan styling, two broad front windows and a ready-made “wow” factor for future viewings. Add a stylish sofa set and a breakfast island and you’ve instantly boosted rental appeal.
Two restful bedrooms sit quietly to the rear, ideal for sharers or a remote-working professional needing a home office. Bedroom 1 soaks up afternoon sun and bedroom 2 is a perfect study; both rooms being more than capable to accommodate double beds. A well-kept bathroom comprising of a bath with a shower-over and crisp tiling keeps maintenance costs low.

Location tenants queue for
A two-minute stroll lands you on Woodgate with artisan coffee, gastro pubs and the Co-op. Hop on the A6 and you’re in Leicester city centre in 15 minutes, Loughborough in 10. Commuters, students and young professionals all circle Rothley for its village vibe and lightning-fast links.
No-brainer numbers
The guide price for this apartment is notably lower than equivalent-sized flats in Leicester’s city centre, while local rents in Rothley are climbing to £900–£950 pcm and, because it’s freehold, your ongoing costs stay minimal.
Whether you’re hunting your first foothold on the ladder or adding a bullet-proof unit to an expanding portfolio, Merttens Drive offers instant income, built-in growth and zero compromise on lifestyle. Opportunities this crisp and this versatile rarely reach the open market.
