Southmeads Road, Leicester, LE2

"A distinguished family residence, where character, charm and quiet elegance come together in leafy, tranquil surroundings."

Tucked peacefully at the end of the prestigious, tree-lined Southmeads Road in Oadby, this exceptional four-bedroom detached residence rests gracefully behind a gated, sweeping in-and-out driveway, set within 0.4 acres of manicured grounds. A rare find on one of Leicester’s most coveted streets, this home on Southmeads Road is a home that instantly captivates — rich in architectural detail, grand in proportion, and lovingly curated to offer a lifestyle of comfort, privacy and distinction.

A Grand Welcome
Your arrival is met with a recessed arched porchway, framing the original front door and setting the tone for what lies beyond. Step into the impressive entrance hall, where character radiates from every corner — high ceilings, warm wooden floors, and a sense of space that flows freely from room to room. Under-stair storage and a discreet cloakroom ensure practical needs are effortlessly met.

Elegant Living Spaces
To the right, the formal sitting room stretches wide and inviting, crowned with an elegant bay window that floods the room with natural light. A feature fireplace, bespoke bar area, and French doors leading to the sun-soaked south-facing garden combine to create a space ideal for both peaceful moments and vibrant gatherings.

Flowing seamlessly through a graceful archway is the regal dining room, rich with character and designed for memorable dinners. A grand window frames garden views like a painting, while the room's generous dimensions allow for large-scale entertaining with ease.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen and breakfast room — a warm, functional space with fitted cabinetry, a central island, and a charming outlook to both the driveway and rear garden. Tiled with character and filled with light, it blends style and practicality in equal measure.

A Thoughtful Family Flow
An archway opens into a cosy lounge, a perfect retreat for casual family living. Here, you’ll discover one of the home’s most versatile features — a secondary entrance porch, ideal for families and busy households. Fitted with bespoke coat and shoe racks, it offers a functional and stylish transition space that keeps the rest of the home beautifully uncluttered.

From the lounge, glazed doors lead into a glorious sunroom — a space where timber beams, slate flooring, and panoramic glazing create the perfect place to sit, read, dine or simply admire the serene garden beyond. The south-facing rear garden becomes an extension of this room, inviting nature in, all year round.

Adjacent lies the fully fitted spice kitchen/utility, ideal for culinary enthusiasts and larger households, with a connecting door to the tandem garage, completing this wing of the home.

First Floor Sanctuary
Ascending the return staircase, framed by an original cast-iron balustrade, you’ll reach a broad and open landing — a tranquil reading nook leading to four generously proportioned bedrooms.

The master suite is a haven of calm, featuring a separate dressing room, a private study, and a sleek modern en-suite. Another double bedroom enjoys its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining two benefit from built-in wash basins and garden views. A family bathroom, beautifully finished with a bath and separate shower, completes the upper floor.

For those seeking space to grow, the loft offers significant potential for conversion (STPP), with scope for two additional rooms — ideal for teenagers, guests, or a home office.

The Garden & Grounds
Outdoors, this home continues to impress. The gated block-paved driveway offers plentiful parking and access to both a tandem garage and a secure car port. To the rear, the south-facing garden is a sanctuary of greenery and light, featuring a raised stone terrace, perfect for al fresco dining, and gently stepped lawns enclosed by mature hedgerows and trees, offering complete privacy.
