South Knighton Road, South Knighton, LE2

The result of a meticulous back-to-brick renovation, this light-bathed, three-bedroom semi-detached house sits quietly in the heart of South Knighton, its accommodation thoughtfully arranged across three considered floors. Inside, generous ceiling heights lend an uplifting sense of scale, while the interior architecture has been reimagined with an impeccable, contemporary sensibility. The owners have woven the home’s Victorian heritage together with modern interventions: a palette of warm white, sun-baked orange and palace green flows harmoniously through the plan, and expansive Crittall doors draw the eye outwards, opening the kitchen to a sequence of garden terraces and an art studio poised at the far end of the plot.

Entry is through a luminous front reception room where oak floorboards run underfoot and a broad bay window captures daylight from dawn to dusk, illuminating the entire ground floor. An open fireplace surrounded by exposed brick introduces a pleasing contrast of materials. The ground level unfolds largely in an open-plan arrangement, nurturing a sense of volume and visual continuity between living spaces. At the heart of the home lies a beautifully executed kitchen, dining and living area. Here, a bold, arched opening finished in a rich, earthy orange is paired with reclaimed brickwork and contemporary pendant lighting. The kitchen is appointed with a Rangemaster five-ring hob, concealed extractor and Victorian-inspired tiled flooring. From here, double-glazed Crittall doors open directly to the garden, while a practical utility room and ground-floor w.c. complete this level.

A staircase rises to the first floor, where two generously proportioned double bedrooms are found alongside a beautifully detailed four-piece family bathroom. The principal bedroom spans the width of the house at the front, its trio of round-headed sash windows framing elevated views and allowing light to cascade across walls finished in a warm sand palette. The family bathroom is serene and spacious, fitted with a walk-in rainfall shower, separate bathtub, w.c. and basin.

A comprehensive loft conversion, completed in 2023, has introduced a third, final double bedroom. Thoughtfully designed to maximise space and comfort, it benefits from its own three-piece en-suite, completing the home’s well-considered accommodation.

Outside, the private rear garden is neatly enclosed and offers a welcome sense of retreat. A raised timber deck forms an ideal vantage point for basking in the afternoon sun, while the art studio to the rear presents exciting scope for creative work, further development or future conversion. Readily available on-street parking can be found to the front of the property.

Positioned in the very centre of South Knighton and priced for immediate interest, this home stands, our partner, Gianfranco Paparozzi, notes, as one of the most attractive offerings in its price bracket to reach the market this year. Early viewing is strongly encouraged to fully appreciate the craftsmanship and care invested in its transformation.
