Description

South Knighton, Leicester

Set along one of South Knighton’s leafy residential streets, this beautifully reimagined 1930s semi-detached house has been thoughtfully renewed with a quiet sense of elegance. Its bay-fronted façade gives little away of the calm, contemporary interiors within, where generous proportions, natural textures and an abundance of light work in gentle harmony. A wide tiled hall establishes the home’s refined tone, introducing spaces that feel both uplifting and reassuringly functional.

To the front, a wonderfully light reception room remains true to the house’s period soul, with hardwood flooring, a classic fireplace and broad bay window framing views to the street. To the rear, the house opens dramatically: an extended open-plan living, dining and kitchen space unfolds beneath overhead skylights, grounded by a wood-burning stove and anchored by a beautifully considered kitchen, complete with central island, Rangemaster cooker, wine fridge and integrated appliances. Bi-folding doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, allowing light and garden greenery to pour in. A discreet utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

The upper level holds three well-proportioned double bedrooms arranged around a generous landing, where a pull-down ladder leads to a fully boarded loft — an excellent storage solution or a promising foundation for future expansion, subject to consent. The family bathroom has been finished with restraint and confidence, pairing timeless fittings with a refined palette.

The rear garden is unusually deep for the area and unfolds in distinct layers, beginning with a raised timber deck for outdoor dining before descending to a lawn enclosed by mature planting. It is a peaceful and private setting, equally suited to quiet everyday living or further architectural ambition, subject to permission. To the front, a smart block-paved driveway provides parking for two cars and side access to the garden.

This is a house defined by its balance — character and clarity, comfort and craft — set in one of Leicester’s most desirable neighbourhoods, with excellent schooling, green spaces and direct rail connections to London close at hand.

Location

South Knighton is a serene, green suburb just south of Leicester city centre, celebrated for its tree-lined avenues, handsome period homes and strong sense of community. Everyday essentials sit close by, joined by well-regarded schools including Leicester High School for Girls and Overdale Junior School. Knighton Park offers expanses of lawn, wooded walks, tennis courts and gardens, while nearby Clarendon Park and Stoneygate bring independent cafés, restaurants and boutiques, particularly along lively Queens Road. Transport connections are excellent, with straightforward routes into the city, convenient road links and Leicester station offering trains to London St Pancras in little over an hour.
