A substantial Edwardian five-bedroom detached house on Guilford Road, set over three floors and standing on a very large, mature plot. The property retains period character — bay windows, high ceilings and fireplaces — with generous reception rooms and a large kitchen-diner that suit family living and entertaining. Off-road parking and a garage add practical convenience, and the rear garden is an excellent private space for children or summer use.
This home is offered chain free and presents a clear renovation opportunity. The house requires updating throughout (cosmetic and likely thermal improvements), currently has secondary glazing and solid brick walls with assumed no insulation. The Energy Performance is low (EPC F) and the property will benefit from investment in heating, insulation and modern finishes to unlock full value.
Well placed for Stoneygate’s local amenities, independent and state schools, Victoria Park and easy access into Leicester city centre, the location is highly desirable for families seeking space and character. Buyers should note council tax is quite expensive and the current layout provides two bathrooms for five bedrooms, one of which was formerly a bedroom and could be reinstated if required.
For purchasers wanting a large, characterful family home with scope to improve and extend (subject to planning), this house offers substantial potential. It is best suited to someone prepared to undertake refurbishment to bring heating, insulation and decor up to modern standards.
