Avenue Road Extension, Clarendon Park, LE2

Set within a handsome row of Victorian terraces, this immaculately refurbished two-bedroom home is a thoughtful study in period architecture and contemporary design. The current owners have undertaken a sensitive and comprehensive renovation, resulting in a calm and cohesive interior that feels both welcoming and refined. Carefully considered materials, a soft tonal palette, and well-preserved original features work together to create a home of understated elegance and functionality.

The façade retains its classic Victorian character, defined by red brickwork and a prominent large double-glazed window, which hints at the generous proportions found within. Entry is via a traditional timber door into a light and open reception area, where the front sitting and dining rooms have been subtly reconfigured to create a near open-plan living space. The room is flooded with light from the wide, double-glazed window, which faces the quiet residential street. Painted timber floorboards in a matte white finish run underfoot, offering both warmth and neutrality, while a soft baby-blue colour palette adds a gentle vibrancy to the walls. The resulting space is effortlessly adaptable.

At the rear, French doors provide a graceful transition to the garden, drawing the eye towards the greenery beyond and reinforcing the home’s excellent natural flow. This leads to a beautifully appointed breakfast kitchen, located at the far end of the ground floor. Here, oak worktops bring a tactile warmth, balanced by crisp white cabinetry with matte detailing. There is ample space for appliances, and the arrangement is as practical as it is stylish, with a four-ring gas hob, integrated fridge-freezer, integrated oven, and a concealed extractor. Double-glazed windows overlook the garden, allowing light to pour into the space throughout the day.

A central staircase ascends to a generous first-floor landing, where two double bedrooms and the main bathroom are positioned. Both bedrooms are elegantly presented, each with stripped timber floors and a distinctive sense of character. The principal bedroom, to the front, offers excellent proportions and retains a serene, pared-back aesthetic. The second bedroom, overlooking the garden, is painted in a rich burgundy and features a beautiful cast-iron fireplace — a nod to the home’s Victorian roots. The family bathroom has been fully renovated in a classic three-piece arrangement, with contemporary fixtures and a clean, considered finish.

The south-east rear garden, recently landscaped, has been thoughtfully designed for outdoor living and entertaining. Here, the outbuildings have been configured to act as utility room but could be altered to extend the main house, subject to necessary consents. A raised paved terrace provides the ideal setting for al fresco dining, while established planting and raised beds offer seasonal interest and natural privacy. The south-east orientation ensures sunlight from early morning through to late afternoon. The house benefits from on-street parking, managed via the local residents’ permit scheme. The wider area is known for its vibrant community, with independent shops, parks, and excellent transport links all within easy reach.

Presented in immaculate condition and competitively priced, this home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a period property where historical detail and modern design sit in perfect harmony. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality of space and finish on offer.
