5 Bedroom Detached House

A bay fronted five bedroom semi-detached period home in sought-after Stoneygate, offering two reception rooms, a long private rear garden, a driveway and genuine scope to create a standout family home.

Tucked behind a generous frontage, this is a home that immediately feels private, calm and connected to its surroundings, with a driveway providing space for several vehicles or the option to retain the greenery that frames the approach so well. As you step through the hallway, there is the added convenience of a downstairs toilet, ideally positioned for guests and everyday use. Inside, the layout flows naturally from the hallway into the main living spaces. To the front, the bay-fronted living room is a bright and comfortable place to unwind, while the separate dining room opens through, creating a more sociable feel when needed. There’s a real sense of flexibility here, whether you prefer clearly defined rooms or something more open between the two.

To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room becomes the heart of the home, with direct access out to the garden and a practical layout that works well day to day. Just off the kitchen, a useful store room houses the boiler and provides additional storage, keeping the main space uncluttered, while still offering clear scope to open up or extend if desired.

Upstairs, the space continues to impress. The first floor offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a generous bay-fronted room, alongside a further single bedroom that works equally well as a study, dressing room or nursery. A family bathroom serves this level, while the second floor provides an additional double bedroom, ideal as a more private guest space, a main suite or somewhere to work away from the rest of the home.

The real highlight here is the outside space. The garden stretches out behind the house, offering far more than expected, with a long lawn bordered by established planting that gives both privacy and character. A brook runs gently along the side boundary, adding a unique and peaceful feel, while beyond the rear boundary the outlook opens onto a bowling green, creating a setting that feels quiet, open and hard to replicate.

This is a home you can move straight into and enjoy, but it also offers plenty of opportunity to adapt over time. The depth of the plot and the overall footprint give clear potential to extend or rework the layout, allowing the next owner to shape it around their own lifestyle while still enjoying what is already a very special setting.

The property is situated in the highly sought after area of Stoneygate, one and a half miles from the City Centre. The suburb offers a comprehensive range of local amenities including the Leicestershire Golf Club and Leicester Lawn Tennis Club. Nearby are the ever-popular Allandale Road and Queens Road shopping parades which offer a wide variety of independent shops and boutiques. Leicester City Centre is situated a 10 minute drive away providing a broad selection of eateries and shopping opportunities including the award-winning Highcross Shopping Centre.
