Park Road, Anstey, Leicester, LE7 7AX

A Stunning Converted School House in the Heart of Anstey

Originally constructed in 1874 and sympathetically converted in the 1980s, this character-filled former schoolhouse offers a unique blend of period features and contemporary living. With flexible accommodation across two floors, including three/four bedrooms, a spectacular vaulted lounge diner, stylish upgraded bathrooms, and a private enclosed garden with driveway parking, this is a rare opportunity in a prime village location.

Entrance Hall
Accessed via an original arched timber door with decorative stone surround and side windows. Though shared with two neighbouring properties, this grand entrance is owned by this home and offers a memorable first impression.

Private Entrance Hall
A welcoming private hallway with soaring ceiling height, staircase rising to the first floor, and a bespoke understairs storage cupboard housing the hot water tank.

Bedroom One
A spacious main bedroom featuring panelled walls, three Crittall-style rear windows, and bespoke hand-crafted wardrobes. A built-in cupboard provides additional storage.

Bedroom Two
Another generous double room with dual aspect windows to the rear and side elevations.

Bedroom Three
With stone mullioned windows and a wide glazed side window, this third double bedroom enjoys plenty of natural light.

Home Office/Bedroom Four
Currently used as a home office, this versatile space has a tall glazed door to the garden, tiled flooring, picture rail, and built-in cupboard housing the gas combination boiler. Ideal as a fourth bedroom, snug or studio.

Shower Room
A modern, fully tiled shower room with corner cubicle, floating vanity unit, freestanding tap, chrome towel rail, and contemporary flooring.

Bathroom
Beautifully refitted with a panelled bath, WC, vanity unit with wash hand basin, tiled walls, and chrome towel radiator.

Lounge/Diner
An exceptional living space with vaulted ceilings, exposed A-frame beams, and stunning arched original windows. Character stone and brickwork, together with ample space for both relaxing and entertaining, make this a standout room. An arched doorway leads through to:

Breakfast Kitchen
Bright and airy with shaker-style cabinetry, laminate worktops, and stainless steel sink. Includes space for a range cooker, extractor, integrated dishwasher, washing machine, and American-style fridge freezer. There’s room for a breakfast table and views of the original bell tower through the arched windows. Loft access from this room.

 
Outside
Privately owned approach and pathway to the front door. The enclosed gardens to the side and rear are a true highlight—mature, peaceful, and well-maintained. There’s a large patio for entertaining, three timber outbuildings (two storage, one workshop), and mature planting including fruit trees. The original granite wall lines one side of the garden. Gated access leads to a private driveway offering parking for up to three vehicles.

With its rare blend of period charm and modern functionality, this striking former schoolhouse is a one-of-a-kind home nestled in the very heart of Anstey village. Just moments from Bradgate Park and well-connected to Leicester and the M1, it offers both tranquillity and convenience. Early viewing is essential to appreciate all that this unique property has to offer.
