This substantial five-bedroom Victorian home on Knighton Drive combines period charm with generous living space for family life. High ceilings, original sash windows, exposed floorboards and elegant fireplaces create an immediate sense of character, while three reception rooms and a spectacular oak-framed dining kitchen provide flexible family and entertaining space. The west-facing private garden, oak-framed double garage and useful cellar add practical outdoor and storage benefits.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors: a striking reception hall, sitting and dining rooms, plus a third reception currently used as a snug; three double bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor; two further double bedrooms and a study on the second floor. The dining kitchen is a standout feature with vaulted oak frame, skylight, underfloor heating and integrated appliances—an obvious family hub.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is a solid-brick, pre-1900 construction with assumed lack of cavity insulation, so thermal improvement works may be desirable and the EPC is to be confirmed. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, and certain communal maintenance obligations exist — shared party wall/roof and joint responsibility for drainage/guttering between neighbouring numbers, plus a right of way from the rear passage. The house is offered freehold and chain-free, in a conservation area close to schools and city amenities.
Located in Stoneygate, about two miles from Leicester city centre, the house sits on a tree-lined road with good access to shops, parks, hospitals and rail links. The neighbourhood is cosmopolitan and close to university facilities, which brings local vibrancy and amenities; prospective buyers seeking a quieter rural setting should note the more urban, mixed-use character of the area.
