4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Knighton Church Road, South Knighton, Leicester LE2

A characterful Edwardian home in the heart of South Knighton, beautifully retaining its original features while offering exceptional space, a private garden and no onward chain.

A characterful Edwardian semi-detached home positioned in the heart of South Knighton, offering four bedrooms, three reception rooms, a generous kitchen and a wonderfully secluded rear garden, all presented with an appealing combination of period features and thoughtful modern touches.

The approach is immediately welcoming, with the distinctive red-brick and rendered façade, arched porch detail and characterful front door giving the home a strong sense of architectural identity from the street. To the front, a gravelled frontage with mature shrubs and a driveway provide off-road parking, with gated side access leading through to the rear.

The entrance hall has original Minton tiled flooring in a classic monochrome palette, white-painted staircase joinery and generous ceiling height create a sense of arrival that is both warm and characterful. To one side of the hall lies the living room, a well-proportioned space centred around an original stone fireplace with open fire and slate hearth, alcove shelving, picture rail, ceiling coving and rich stripped floorboards beneath. The substantial bay window floods the room with light and frames the leafy street scene beyond. To the rear, the dining room enjoys its own bay window and a central door opening directly onto the garden, creating a natural connection between inside and out. This room flows through to the kitchen, which is fitted with painted cabinetry in a confident green, butcher-block worktops and a practical layout with good work and storage space. A third reception room in the form of a garden room beyond provides excellent additional living or working space, and the ground floor is completed by a shower room with WC, wash hand basin and electric shower cubicle.

On the first floor, four bedrooms are arranged off a central landing. The principal bedroom overlooks the front with a wide bay window and stripped floorboards characteristic of the period. The second double enjoys a rear bay window with peaceful garden outlook, while the third bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe and windows to the rear and side. The fourth bedroom offers useful flexibility as a single or occasional room. The family bathroom is presented in a sympathetic traditional style, with a pedestal basin, panelled bath with shower over, tongue-and-groove panelling and a high-level cistern lending the room an unhurried, period-appropriate character.

Outside, the rear garden is the highlight: A large, established and well-screened plot with mature tree canopy, areas of lawn, a paved patio ideal for outdoor entertaining, planted borders and stone-flagged pathways. The feeling is of considerable privacy and natural seclusion, a beautiful find in this part of South Knighton.

Offered with no upward chain. The property sits within easy reach of Victoria Park, the independent shops and cafés along Allandale Road, Queens Road and Clarendon Park, and Leicester train station with regular direct services to London St Pancras in just over an hour.

Excellent state and private schooling are within easy reach, along with an abundance of recreational facilities.
