Cropston Road, Anstey, Leicester, LE7 7BL

Occupying a prominent position on Cropston Road, one of Anstey’s most sought-after streets, this beautifully refurbished and extended three-bedroom character home offers an outstanding level of finish, with every detail carefully considered. The current owners have completely transformed the property with a full renovation and a substantial single-storey rear extension, creating a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern sophistication.

Built in 1931, the current sellers purchased the property in 2020 and proceeded with a full scale renovation of the house. This includes redesigning the ground floor layout to create the wonderful open plan kitchen diner currently in place. 

Ground Floor
Entrance Porch & Hallway
The home begins with a smart UPVC entrance porch that leads through the original double doors into an impressive hallway, complete with Amtico flooring and high ceilings. This welcoming space gives access to all main ground floor rooms.

Boot Room & Utility
A highly practical boot room sits to the right of the hallway, complete with twin windows, panelled walls and ample storage for coats and shoes. The utility room provides plumbing for a washing machine, space for a dryer, and houses the central heating boiler, with a window overlooking the driveway.

Downstairs WC
Finished to a high standard with a modern vanity wash hand basin and WC.

Lounge
A tranquil and stylish living space to the front of the home, designed for comfort. It features a large bay window with window seat, an additional side window, and a beautiful multi-fuel log burner set within a feature fireplace with alcove shelving, perfect for cosy evenings.

Dining Room
Flowing from the lounge via double doors, the dining area continues the Amtico flooring and offers ample space for entertaining. There’s also a useful under-stairs pantry with built-in units and work surface, adding both style and practicality.

Open-Plan Living Kitchen
The showpiece of the home is the breathtaking open-plan extension, flooded with natural light from a large roof lantern directly above the central kitchen island. The bespoke olive-toned kitchen features granite-style worktops, gold handles, double Belfast sink, integrated oven, hob, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher.
The living area provides room for a sofa and wall-mounted TV, complete with a built-in wall speaker system. Stylish French doors open onto the patio and garden, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow, ideal for modern family living and entertaining.
The rear extension also benefits from underfloor heating throughout.

Playroom / Study
Accessed via an archway from the kitchen, this versatile room currently serves as a children’s playroom but could easily be used as a study, snug, or home office, with its own door leading directly to the garden.

 
First Floor
Landing
A beautiful original stained glass window and high ceilings create a sense of grandeur on the landing, which provides access to all bedrooms, the family bathroom, and a useful storage cupboard.

Master Bedroom
A generous double bedroom to the front, featuring a bay window and additional side window, offering plenty of natural light.

Bedroom Two
A well-proportioned double bedroom overlooking the rear garden, with windows to the rear and side elevations.

Bedroom Three

Family Bathroom
Finished to a luxurious standard, the bathroom includes a freestanding slipper-style bath, vanity wash hand basin, corner rainfall shower, chrome towel radiator, WC, and window to the front, a beautifully designed four-piece suite.

 
Outside
Rear Garden
The rear garden has been landscaped to provide a sleek, low-maintenance and private outdoor space. A generous patio area offers the perfect spot for dining and entertaining, leading onto a neatly kept lawn with mature borders and a garden shed.

Front & Driveway
To the front, a large gravel driveway provides substantial off-road parking for several vehicles and leads to a single garage. The setting is particularly attractive, tree-lined to the front, ensuring a pleasant outlook and privacy from the road.

The property also offers scope for a second-storey extension, subject to planning consent, making it a perfect long-term family home.
