A substantial three-storey Edwardian terrace on Knighton Drive, offering generous, light-filled rooms and much of its original character. High ceilings, bay windows, fireplaces and period joinery give a strong family-house feel across 2,077 sq ft, with flexible reception space and five bedrooms including an en-suite principal.
The ground floor has two reception rooms, a kitchen-dining space, utility and ground-floor WC, and there is scope to reconfigure or extend to the rear (subject to planning). A front forecourt and decent rear garden provide outdoor space; a rear garage is included but has restricted access and limited vehicular convenience.
Practical considerations: the property has gas central heating and part double glazing but sits on solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and the EPC is E. Services and thermal performance may benefit from upgrading; buyers should budget for modernisation works to improve efficiency and long-term running costs.
Well placed for families and professionals, the home is within easy reach of Victoria Park, local shops in Stoneygate and Clarendon Park, the University, and nearby hospitals. The area is cosmopolitan with good public transport, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, though the neighbourhood shows higher deprivation indicators and average local crime levels.
