A handsome Edwardian residence on Knighton Rise, this six-bedroom family home blends preserved period detail with generous modern living. Set on about half an acre behind mature trees, the property offers privacy, extensive gardens and a gated in-and-out driveway with an integral double garage — ideal for growing families and entertaining.
Inside, original features such as stained-glass windows, fireplaces and wood floors sit alongside contemporary fittings. The flexible layout (over 4,700 sq ft) includes multiple reception rooms, a large open-plan kitchen/diner, study, gym and a showpiece heated, jetted indoor swimming pool with bifold doors to the garden. Five principal bathrooms and a second-floor bedroom suite provide useful separation for family life or guests.
The location is a major draw: excellent schools (including Leicester High School and Beauchamp College) are within walking distance, while Oadby Parade, the Botanical Gardens and city amenities are close by. Mobile signal and broadband are strong, and the area is very affluent, making this a desirable long-term family home.
Practical considerations are plain: the property’s size and features — notably the indoor pool and extensive grounds — bring higher running, upkeep and insurance costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The house has been sympathetically restored, but its scale means ongoing maintenance and utility bills should be factored in. Overall, this is a substantial, characterful family home offering scope for flexible living and entertaining.
