Lorne Road, Clarendon Park, LE2

Set on a quiet residential street in the heart of Clarendon Park, this end-of-terrace Victorian house combines period character with a carefully considered extension, resulting in a home of balanced proportions and natural light. The surrounding neighbourhood is one of Leicester’s most established and desirable enclaves, known for its independent spirit and strong sense of community. Queens Road and Allandale Road are both within easy walking distance, offering a curated mix of cafés, restaurants and local shops, while the open landscapes of Victoria Park and Knighton Park provide generous green space nearby. Leicester Railway Station lies within easy reach, with direct services to London St Pancras in just over an hour.

The house is set slightly back from the street behind a modest front garden, with steps rising to a recessed entrance. Inside, a wide hallway introduces the home with a sense of scale and flow, its proportions typical of the period. Original spatial rhythms have been preserved, with two reception rooms arranged in a traditional linear plan. The front room is defined by a large bay window, which draws in an abundance of natural light and gives the space a calm, airy quality. Ceiling heights enhance the feeling of volume, while the room’s generous footprint allows for flexible use.

The second reception room sits at the centre of the house, offering a more intimate setting. A decorative fireplace forms a natural focal point, and views extend through to the garden at the rear. This room works equally well as a living space or dining room, creating a subtle transition between the more formal front room and the open, practical spaces beyond.

To the rear, the house has been extended to create a kitchen and breakfast room that acts as the social heart of the home. The layout is both functional and adaptable, with ample cabinetry, work surfaces and space for freestanding appliances. There is room here for a large dining table, making it well-suited to everyday living as well as entertaining. Adjoining the kitchen are a separate utility room and a ground-floor shower room, discreetly arranged to maximise usability without interrupting the flow of the main space. A glazed door opens directly onto the garden, strengthening the connection between inside and out. Upstairs, a wide landing leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom occupies the front of the plan, enjoying a broad outlook over the street and incorporating fitted storage. The remaining two bedrooms are set to the rear and centre, each offering comfortable dimensions and double in size. A three-piece family bathroom completes the upper floor, simply arranged and easily accessible from all rooms.

The rear garden is arranged as a low-maintenance courtyard, enclosed and private, with mature planting softening its boundaries and creating a sense of seclusion. Outbuildings sit at the far edge, offering useful storage or clear potential for reconfiguration, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The home has been recently renovated with a newly fitted boiler, newly fitted carpets, flooring and repainted throughout. The home has been priced competitively for an immediate sale and is available with no upwards chain.
