Queens Road, Clarendon Park, LE2

Positioned at the end of a Victorian terrace on Queens Road, this two-bedroom house occupies a peaceful corner of Clarendon Park, one of Leicester's best-preserved late-19th-century neighbourhoods. Period proportions have been carefully retained throughout, while a series of considered interventions introduce a quietly contemporary sensibility, creating a home that feels both characterful and practical.

The plan follows the familiar rhythm of the Victorian terrace, with two reception rooms arranged in sequence from front to back. A broad bay window draws natural light into the principal living room, where original proportions create an inviting sense of volume. Beyond, the dining room offers a more intimate setting with a log-burner fireplace serving as an excellent focal point. By preserving the separation between the two spaces, the house retains the cadence and clarity of its original plan, allowing each room to fulfil its own distinct role. A clever extension to the rear has curated a modern fitted kitchen which has been designed with simplicity in mind. Clean-lined cabinetry is paired with an induction hob and electric oven, while generous work surfaces provide ample space for cooking. Beyond, a dedicated utility room offers valuable additional storage and laundry facilities, an uncommon feature in a house of this scale.

The first floor is arranged around two generous double bedrooms, each characterised by high ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The principal bedroom incorporates a built-in cupboard, while the bathroom has been recently refurbished in a restrained contemporary palette, centred around a bath with an overhead shower.

Outside, a paved garden extends from the rear of the house, forming a private and low-maintenance outdoor room. Enclosed by brick boundaries, it provides a sheltered setting, offering a quiet retreat from the lively atmosphere of Queens Road just beyond. Readily available on-street parking can be found directly outside the property.

Offered with no upwards chain and with a past history of serving as an excellent buy-to-let investment, we anticipate this to achieve in the region of £1050PCM if offered in it’s current condition.

Location:

Clarendon Park is one of Leicester's most enduring Victorian neighbourhoods, characterised by broad, tree-lined streets and handsome terraces built during the city's southward expansion in the late 19th century. At its heart is Queens Road, a thriving independent high street that has retained a strong neighbourhood character, where artisan bakeries, speciality coffee shops, bookshops, delicatessens and long-established local businesses sit alongside popular restaurants and bars. The house is a short walk from Victoria Park, whose wide open lawns, mature trees and landscaped gardens provide one of the city's finest green spaces. The neighbouring University of Leicester Botanic Garden offers a quieter retreat, while nearby Knighton Park and the Grand Union Canal provide further opportunities for walking and cycling. Leicester city centre can be reached on foot in around 20 minutes, bringing with it a rich cultural offering including the Curve Theatre, Leicester Cathedral, the King Richard III Visitor Centre and a growing independent food and arts scene. Both the University of Leicester and De Montfort University are within easy walking or cycling distance. Leicester Railway Station is approximately 15 minutes on foot, with direct services to London St Pancras International in around 1 hour and 10 minutes, alongside regular connections to Birmingham, Nottingham, Sheffield and Cambridge. The nearby A6 and A563 provide straightforward access to the wider Midlands road network and the M1.
