Description

There are homes that have been updated, and then there are homes that have been genuinely transformed. This property in Southernhay Road is very much the latter. Sitting in the heart of Stoneygate, one of Leicester's most desirable and well established residential neighbourhoods, this five bedroom detached home has been renovated to an exceptional standard and offers the kind of space, quality and location that serious buyers rarely find all in one place.


Approached via a spacious gated in and out driveway, the property commands immediate attention. There is parking for multiple vehicles alongside a garage, and the characterful façade with its warm red brick, rendered elevations and original architectural detailing sets the tone for what lies inside.

The Entrance Hall

Step through the front door and the entrance hall alone tells you this is something special. It is a proper, generous hall, the kind that has almost become a luxury in modern homes, with beautiful herringbone parquet flooring underfoot, an elegant crystal chandelier overhead and the original barley twist staircase rising to the first floor. Family photographs line the staircase wall and the whole space feels warm, welcoming and immediately impressive. It is the sort of entrance hall that makes guests stop and take notice.

The Kitchen, Dining and Family Room

Without question, the open plan kitchen, dining and family room is the heart of this home and one of the finest spaces you will find in any property at this level in Leicester. The owners have invested heavily here and it shows in every detail. The bespoke navy blue shaker kitchen features a substantial central island with quartz worktop, integrated appliances, a marble effect splashback and beautifully chosen gold hardware throughout. A vaulted ceiling with exposed beams runs above the dining area, with designer brass pendant lighting adding warmth and character.

Full width bifold doors span the rear of the room and open directly onto the south facing garden, flooding the entire space with natural light and creating a seamless connection between inside and out. Whether you are cooking for the family on a Tuesday evening or hosting friends on a summer weekend, this room simply works. The herringbone oak flooring ties the whole ground floor together beautifully.

The Living Room

The separate living room is a genuinely lovely room. A curved bay window looks out over the garden and draws in exceptional natural light throughout the day. It is a comfortable, well proportioned space that flows easily through to the kitchen beyond via a wide opening, giving the ground floor a real sense of scale without losing the feeling of distinct, usable rooms. A ground floor office and WC complete the accommodation on this level.

The Garden

The south facing rear garden is a real feature of this property and one that will particularly appeal to families and those who love to entertain outdoors. It is a mature, established space with a stone paved terrace directly off the bifold doors, a central ornamental pathway, a feature pond, well stocked borders, a summerhouse and a greenhouse. It is private, generous and on a sunny day quite exceptional.

The First Floor

The staircase leads to a genuinely spacious landing, wide and light with coving detail and a chandelier, giving the upper floor a sense of occasion that many homes of this size simply do not have. There are five bedrooms in total. The principal bedroom is a large and well proportioned room with a curved bay window to the front and extensive fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom is another generous double with good ceiling height and a pleasant outlook. The remaining three bedrooms are all comfortable and well served, with the fifth working equally well as a single bedroom or home office.

The Bathroom

The family bathroom has been finished to a standard you might expect in a boutique hotel. Large format slate effect tiles cover the walls and floor throughout. There is a freestanding oval bath with a floor mounted black tap, a double vanity unit with twin basins and a generous rainfall walk in shower enclosure. A round mirror, vertical radiator and warm lighting complete a room that is both beautiful and supremely practical.

The Location

Stoneygate needs little introduction to those who know Leicester well. It is the city's premier residential address, known for its wide tree lined roads, handsome period homes and strong sense of community. Victoria Park is within comfortable walking distance, as are the independent cafés, restaurants and boutique shops that make this neighbourhood so popular with professional families.

For those with children, the schooling options are outstanding. Stoneygate School, Leicester Grammar School and Leicester High School are all close by, alongside a number of excellent state schools.

Commuters are exceptionally well placed here. Leicester railway station is approximately two miles away and offers direct services to London St Pancras in under an hour, making this a genuinely practical base for those working in the capital. By road, the A6 provides swift access into the city centre and connects directly to junction 21a of the M1, opening up the wider motorway network with ease. East Midlands Airport is approximately 15 miles away and reachable in around 20 minutes.

Leicester University, De Montfort University and the Leicester Royal Infirmary are all within a short distance, making Southernhay Road an address that appeals equally to families, professionals and academics.
