Set over three floors, this generous four-bedroom home blends Edwardian character with a modern open-plan kitchen/diner. Period features such as high ceilings, bay windows and a chimney give the property strong kerb appeal, while the fitted kitchen, utility room and en-suite add contemporary family convenience. The house sits on a small plot but benefits from both front and rear gardens and offers around 2,110 sq ft of internal space — a rare size for the area.
Practical details matter: the home is freehold and offered with no upward chain, and broadband options reach very fast speeds (up to 1,800mb). The area scores highly for local amenities, low crime and well-rated nearby schools, making this a good family location. The layout — two reception rooms plus an open-plan kitchen/diner — suits family living, home working or flexible use of space.
A few items to note for buyers: the property uses electric room heaters (no central gas heating), glazing was installed before 2002, and the EPC is rated D (59). These factors may mean running costs are higher than a modern, gas-heated home and future upgrading of heating and insulation could be advisable. The plot is small and the building age/details include a mix of descriptions; buyers should check tenure and structural details during survey.
Overall, this is a spacious, characterful family home in a sought inner-city Leicester location. It will appeal to purchasers wanting period detail, generous floor area and good local schools, and to those willing to invest selectively in energy and comfort improvements.
