Stanfell Road, Clarendon Park, LE2

Set on the quietly coveted lower stretch of Stanfell Road, this three-bedroom 1930’s bay-fronted semi-detached house occupies an elevated position in the heart of Clarendon Park. Sensitively refurbished and beautifully maintained, the home marries original character with the quiet promise of further transformation, a compelling opportunity for those seeking space, light, and scope in one of Leicester’s most vibrant suburbs.

The façade bears the hallmarks of its era, with curved bays and a red-brick exterior softened by mature planting. Stairs lead to the entry, accessed via a storm porch into a wide entrance hall laid with hardwood flooring. At the front of the house, a generous reception room is bathed in morning light through a broad double-glazed bay window. To the rear, a second living room centres around a cast-iron log burner fireplace and opens through French doors onto the expansive, south-facing garden. The garden’s leafy presence becomes a quiet backdrop, infusing the space with calm and connection to the outdoors. Adjacent, the kitchen is traditionally appointed with oak worktops, ample cabinetry, and a suite of integrated and freestanding appliances. A side door provides easy access to the garden and beyond, enhancing the home’s sense of flow.

Upstairs, three bedrooms lead from a naturally lit landing with a double-glazed window to the side aspect. The largest sits to the front, painted in a bold, orange palette and offering generous proportions. The second double bedroom enjoys a serene view across the garden, while a third, smaller room provides an ideal space for a nursery, home office or guest room. A striking four-piece family bathroom completes the floor, featuring a roll-top cast iron bath, walk-in shower, wash basin and w/c, all finished with a considered attention to detail. Furthermore, the loft is both boarded and insulated, and offers potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

The south-facing garden is a standout feature and a particular highlight of the home. Long, private and thoughtfully planted for year-round interest. A series of distinct zones accommodate outdoor dining, quiet reflection and play, with mature trees, flowering rosebuds and shrubs lending structure and colour. Towards the far end, there is ample space to install a garden studio or home office, again subject to consents. To the front, a paved driveway allows off-road parking for at-least one vehicle amongst established shrubbery and mature trees, providing immediate privacy from the main-road.

Overall, a fabulous home in a thriving suburb. An early viewing is essential to truly appreciate the overall finish, potential and convenience the property has to offer.

Location:

Clarendon Park is one of Leicester’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, known for its vibrant community spirit and leafy residential streets. The area blends a strong sense of local identity with an ever-growing collection of independent cafés, artisan bakeries, vintage shops, and excellent local pubs — all centred around the lively Queens Road. With its mix of period homes and green spaces, Clarendon Park attracts professionals, young families, and creatives alike.

Ideally positioned just south of the city centre, the neighbourhood offers convenient access to the University of Leicester, Leicester Royal Infirmary, and the train station, making it especially popular with commuters and academics. Highly regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, and nearby Victoria Park provides an expansive green space for weekend strolls, picnics, and community events.

Vendor comments:

“ We have absolutely loved living in this home. One of our favourite features has been the beautiful south-facing garden. It gets sunlight all day and has been perfect for relaxing, entertaining and growing plants. The house has always felt bright and welcoming, with lovely natural light streaming through the windows. It’s been a peaceful retreat, yet conveniently close to everything we need. We’ll really miss the sense of space, the friendly neighbourhood and the special memories we have made here. “
