Summary - 79 KNIGHTON CHURCH ROAD LEICESTER LE2 3JN
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Period charm meets a contemporary open-plan kitchen and private garden room.
Edwardian semi with original Minton tiled hall and bay windows
This well-presented Edwardian semi sits on sought-after Knighton Church Road and balances period charm with contemporary living. A single-storey rear extension creates a bright, open-plan dining kitchen with underfloor heating, Velux rooflights and bi-fold doors that flow onto a private lawned garden and insulated garden room — ideal for home working or family entertaining.
Original features remain throughout, including Minton tiled hall, bay windows, high ceilings and a decorative fireplace, giving character and warmth alongside modern comforts such as double glazing (post-2002), a gas boiler and integrated kitchen appliances. The property is a generous size (approx. 1,428 sq ft) with three bedrooms and well-appointed bathroom fittings including a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.
Practical points to note: the house has an EPC rating of D and is over a century old, so some buyers may wish to factor ongoing maintenance or energy upgrades into their plans. There is one family bathroom for three bedrooms, and frontage is gravelled which limits formal off-street parking. Council Tax Band D and freehold tenure offer clear ownership and typical running costs for the area.
Overall this is a compelling family home for those who value period detail, outdoor space and a modern extended kitchen/living area. It suits families seeking good local schools, convenient access to the city and a ready-to-use garden room for flexible living or remote work.
