Set well back from the road on a sweeping driveway, this substantial period house occupies a private three-quarter acre plot in sought-after Anstey. The property delivers generous, flexible accommodation across three floors — six bedrooms, four bathrooms, multiple reception rooms and a large L-shaped kitchen — suited to a growing or multi-generational household. The rear garden is mature and private, with paved terraces, summer house, greenhouse and covered barbecue area.
Principal strengths include strong kerb appeal, off-street parking for several cars and a detached double garage with a useful room above. The kitchen and many reception rooms show modern fittings while original character remains in fireplaces, high ceilings and period proportions. There is clear potential for further development within the grounds, subject to planning consent, increasing usable living space or ancillary accommodation.
Notable practical points: the house is pre-1900 construction and walls are believed to be granite or whinstone with no known insulation; the EPC is D. Heating is by mains gas boilers (two Worcester units noted), and the property has double glazing of unknown install date. Council tax band is high and the accommodation spans three storeys with no specific accessibility adaptations.
This home will suit buyers seeking significant indoor and outdoor space, strong privacy and period character, and those willing to carry out selective upgrading or pursue planning to maximise the plot's potential. Broadband is fibre-capable and the location offers convenient access to Leicester, local schooling and countryside at Bradgate Park.
