Description

Situated in the heart of South Knighton, this beautifully reimagined three-bedroom 1930’s semi-detached house offers a harmonious blend of character and contemporary refinement. Every detail has been carefully considered, resulting in a home that feels both quietly luxurious and inherently liveable. Beyond its smart, bay-fronted façade, the house opens to a wide, tiled entrance hall that sets the tone for what follows. Generous proportions, natural materials, and an abundance of light characterise the house. To the front, a bright, airy and wonderfully light reception room has been thoughtfully preserved, with hardwood floors, a classic fireplace, and a large bay window framing views onto the street.

The rear of the house has been extended to create a free-flowing open plan living/dining kitchen. Framed by double-glazed bi-folding doors and punctuated by overhead skylights, the room is wonderfully bright throughout the day. A wood-burning stove brings a grounding sense of warmth, while the bespoke kitchen is both functional and elegant, complete with a central island, Rangemaster cooker, wine fridge, and integrated appliances. A discreet utility room and WC are also located on this level and complete the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned double bedrooms share a spacious landing, where a pull-down ladder leads to a fully boarded and carpeted loft — an ideal storage space or the basis for a future fourth bedroom subject to necessary consents. The stylishly appointed four piece bathroom has been refurbished, balancing form and function with ease.

Outside, an unusual highlight for a home in this suburb is the extensive rear garden. Opening with a raised timber deck before stepping down to a lawned garden enclosed by mature planting, the space found here is ideal for al-fresco dining or further extension to the existing home, subject to necessary consents. To the front, a block-paved driveway provides parking for two cars, with side access to the garden.

An early viewing is essential to truly appreciate the craftsmanship on offer and convenience the location has to offer to an extensive range of local amenities, green spaces and Leicester train-station with trains connecting you to London St Pancras in a little over an hour.

Location:
South Knighton is a peaceful, green suburb just south of Leicester city centre, known for its tree-lined streets, Edwardian and Victorian homes, and strong sense of community. The area benefits from excellent local amenities, including well-regarded schools such as Leicester High School for Girls and Overdale Junior School, as well as proximity to the University of Leicester and Leicester Royal Infirmary. Knighton Park, a large and beautifully maintained green space, offers walking trails, tennis courts, and gardens, adding to the area’s appeal for families and those seeking outdoor space. The neighbouring areas of Stoneygate and Clarendon Park bring a lively mix of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, particularly along Queens Road. South Knighton enjoys good transport connections, with frequent bus routes into the city and easy access to major road links. Its blend of character housing, local charm, and close proximity to Leicester’s cultural and commercial centres makes it one of the city’s most desirable residential neighbourhoods.
