Leicester Road, Quorn, LE12

Dating back to 1924 and having undergone a full back-to-brick renovation, this three-bedroom home has been meticulously remodelled with exceptional attention to detail. It benefits from a new roof, a new gas-central heating system, complete re-wiring, newly fitted double-glazed windows, and an extensive extension programme, making it perfectly suited for modern living. Featuring bespoke craftsmanship by the highly regarded deVol Kitchens, this property proudly stands at the end of a charming row of terraces in the heart of Quorn village. No expense has been spared, making this undoubtedly one of the finest properties to come onto the market this year within this price bracket and village.

Upon arrival, the exemplary standard of the home's finish is immediately apparent, with kerb appeal enhanced by a stone and paved driveway offering off-road parking for several vehicles with the added benefit of Project EV electric car charging also included. Entry through a newly fitted composite door leads to a generous living room at the front of the house, where a large window allows ample natural light. Bespoke shutter blinds, which feature throughout the property, and deVol herringbone oak flooring complete the space. Built-in shelving and storage occupy the alcoves on either side of a reclaimed cast-iron open fireplace, creating a dramatic focal point that complements the bold Farrow and Ball colour scheme. Above, period cornicing and a central ceiling rose reflect the building’s early 20th-century origins. At the rear of the house is the standout feature: a beautifully designed, bespoke breakfast kitchen. This vibrant space boasts a striking duo-tone palette of navy blue and off-white and is equipped with underfloor heating. Characterised by deVol terracotta tiling and aluminium crittal doors, the kitchen centres around an oak-topped island, illuminated by two sets of stylish pendant lights. The kitchen is equipped with a wine fridge, Belfast sink with chrome taps, and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including a Bauknecht double oven, dishwasher, AEG five-ring gas hob with concealed extractor, and space for a fridge-freezer and washing machine. A clever skylight addition floods the room with natural light, while a separate dining area sits at the far end. Oak-framed doors lead to the staircase accessing the first floor.

The spacious landing leads to two double bedrooms and a stunning four-piece family bathroom. At the front of the first floor, the larger of the two bedrooms is finished in a dusty pink and navy blue palette. A double-glazed window with bespoke shutter blinds overlooks Leicester Road, while exemplary craftsmanship by Loughborough Joinery Ltd has created extensive fitted wardrobes. A cast-iron feature fireplace takes centre stage as a charming focal point. The second double bedroom is well configured, featuring stripped timber flooring and another cast-iron fireplace, with double-glazed windows offering views of the extensive rear garden. The four-piece family bathroom at the rear of the first floor boasts deVol marble-effect porcelain tiling, a roll-top bath, and a walk-in rainfall shower. Cleverly extended in 2022/2023 with a loft conversion, a third double bedroom has been added. This space includes two Velux skylights and ample storage, with full access to the eaves and finished with plush wool carpets.

Crittall aluminium doors open to two distinct garden areas. The North-East facing rear garden has been beautifully landscaped, with one area laid mostly to lawn and bordered by established shrubbery and flowerbeds. A second area serves as an excellent sun-trap, with cobblestone paving and a seating area. Several outbuildings remain, one currently functioning as the main house’s utility room, with potential for further extension of the others. Mature trees and marshland behind the Victorian stone wall at the garden’s far end offer a high degree of privacy.

In summary, this is a spectacular home in a thriving Charnwood village, one that demands an internal viewing at the earliest opportunity due to the expected high level of interest.
