3 Bed Terraced House For Sale

A remarkable three bedroom bay fronted Victorian house set on the highly sought-after Knighton Church Road, one of Leicester's most sought after suburban addresses in South Knighton. The subject of extensive remodelling and extension, the interior scheme makes use of a tactile material palette of stone, smoked wood and stainless steel. The house is arranged over three levels, designed to connect seamlessly with the tranquil outside space where a wonderfully secluded garden can be found complete with raised flowerbed planters, a cobbled stone patio area and a range of mature established trees providing immense privacy from nearby properties.

Through a stain leaded glass front door, the ground floor is almost completely open plan and is characterised by natural light that flows throughout the entirety of the accommodation. Immediately, an atmosphere of sophistication and innovation is evident with the current homeowners applying immense attention to detail to the entirety of the space. Engineered hardwood flooring fitted by Benjamin James Flooring Ltd pairs nicely with two solid fuel burner fireplaces which are positioned to the centre of the living and dining areas, creating a warm and inviting ambiance whilst original ceiling roses, picture rails and open archways celebrate the rich Victorian heritage of the house. The living spaces are a testament to thoughtful design. The open-plan layout seamlessly connects the living room, dining area and kitchen, fostering a sense of togetherness.

Following a comprehensive yet thoughtful extension in 2018, an open archway leads to a spectacular shaker-style breakfast kitchen to the rear of the property complete with Velfac double glazed French doors. Limestone tiled flooring from highly regarded DeVol kitchens benefit from underfloor heating pairs with stainless steel work surfaces and stylish rattan pendant lighting whilst a large Range cooker with AEG hood takes centre position in the space. Light streams in from above courtesy of three strategically placed Velux skylights. These architectural marvels flood the kitchen with daylight combining with that of the French doors casting a soft glow on the stainless steel, and accentuating the texture of the materials. The kitchen is also equipped with an integrated dishwasher, washing machine, fridge-freezer and ample surface preparation area.

A staircase ascends to the first floor, where two well-proportioned bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom lie. The front bedroom is currently configured as studio and features an original Victorian fireplace to the centre of the space and a large double glazed window to the front aspect overlooking Knighton Church Road. To the left hand side of the landing, a second double bedroom complete with plush wool carpets is positioned whilst to the far end, a contemporary three piece Lusso Stone bathroom suite includes a freestanding bath with monsoon shower over, vanity sink unit and high flush low level WC, a shelved airing cupboard housing the central heating boiler and a UPVC sealed double glazed window, complete with a vaulted ceiling emphasising the space on offer. Attentively extended to incorporate a loft conversion and utilising the use of VELUX skylights to brighten the space on offer, a third double bedroom sits on the top floor of the house and follows a sensitive and neutral colour palette coupled with a large double glazed picture window to the side aspect overlooking the rear garden and beyond, completing the accommodation on offer.

Outside, a wonderfully secluded, low maintenance North facing block paved forecourt garden provides an extensive range of established fruit trees, raised shrubbery and flowerbeds whilst to the front, a cobbled stone pathway and established borders provide privacy from the main road. Readily available on-street parking can be found on Knighton Church Road. Properties that follow this programme of refurbishment often prove very popular in the immediate area. Early interest comes with the Partner's highest recommendation to avoid disappoint.

Vendor comments:

" We bought the house for the road and the area. It’s a great neighbourhood and community to live in, close to amenities of Clarendon Park & Leicester with country village feel. The house was an end terrace so we like how with the entry it’s detached on the ground floor. It was our first house so we bought it as a big project. Previously it was a rental with a run down garden, exterior and outhouses. We built our own kitchen extension, had a contractor extend the loft and vaulted the ceiling in the bathroom. I will miss the loft bedroom and picture window, and of course our freestanding bath and vaulted ceiling with view of the sky above. It’s been very hard to come to terms with letting this property go. "
