Avenue Road Extension, Clarendon Park, LE2

Offered to the open market for the first time in over 40 years, this well-loved residence offers an increasingly rare opportunity to reimagine a period home with generous proportions and authentic character. Thoughtfully maintained over the years, the house would now benefit from a sensitive scheme of modernisation to suit contemporary living.

The ground floor opens into a welcoming front reception room, where a large double-glazed window draws in natural light and frames the space beautifully. A cast-iron fireplace, set within a timber surround, provides an elegant focal point, complemented by original picture coving—a subtle nod to the home’s 19th-century heritage. A second reception room lies at the heart of the plan, offering garden views through a rear-facing window and access to the staircase rising to the first floor. Beyond, a well-proportioned breakfast kitchen sits to the rear of the house, with ample cabinetry and space for freestanding appliances. While functional, this space invites renovation to unlock its full potential.

Upstairs, two spacious double bedrooms are light-filled and well-appointed, both benefitting from fitted wardrobes. They are served by a newly refurbished bathroom, thoughtfully designed and comprising a contemporary three-piece suite with walk-in shower.

Externally, the house enjoys a notably generous rear garden, arranged over two tiers and largely laid to lawn, bordered by mature planting and established trees that lend a sense of privacy and seclusion. Two brick-built outbuildings provide useful storage, and—subject to the necessary permissions—could offer scope for further extension.

The property is positioned on a one-way residential street with readily available on-street parking found directly outside the property and neighbouring streets.

Offered to the market with no upward chain and priced competitively for an immediate sale.

Vendor comments:

“ Avenue Road Extension has been a good, cared for family home which we will be sad to see go. It is in excellent condition with a new bathroom and windows. The kitchen though does require refurbishment but the buyer can stamp their mark on the property by giving it a refit or extending it into the outbuildings. The home is located in a quiet one-way street with excellent access to transport links, schools and an amazing variety of local shops on the nearby Queens Road and Welford Road. The sunny garden has been well maintained, is low maintenance and a great play area for young children and adults to enjoy. The home also benefits from a very secure side access (internal passageway) to the rear of the property which is ideal for bikes and buggies.”
