Located within walking distance of Overdale Primary School, this stunning three-bedroom, double-bay fronted semi-detached home in the heart of Knighton has undergone an exceptional renovation in recent years. The reconfiguration of a pristine rear extension enhances the generous layout and creates a seamless connection to the expansive, well-established rear garden. Additionally, the larger green spaces of Knighton Park and Victoria Park are just a short walk away. Whilst the property retains the charm and character of its 1930s heritage, including original picture rails and oak-framed doors, it has been tastefully modernised throughout. Situated on a quiet residential street, the home boasts immediate kerb appeal, with off-road parking on a paved driveway and access to a single garage.

Upon entry, a wide hallway provides access to both the principal reception room and the extended breakfast kitchen at the rear. The front reception room, decorated in an elegant palette of pine green and white, features a large double-glazed bay window that floods the space with natural light. The room is beautifully finished with plush wool carpets. At the rear, the open-plan breakfast kitchen was fully remodelled in 2022 with modern living in mind. It features a central island, uPVC French doors opening to the rear garden, and ample space for all appliances, including a double Neff integrated oven, a four-ring gas hob with a concealed extractor hood, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. To the right, a separate dining area or snug boasts a multi-fuel log burner, creating a cozy focal point and offering views of the south-facing garden through a newly installed picture window. A stylishly appointed downstairs W/C completes the ground-floor layout.

On the first floor, a spacious landing leads to three bedrooms and a contemporary three-piece family bathroom. The largest bedroom, at the front of the house, features a large double-glazed bay window overlooking Northfold Road and fitted wardrobes. A second bedroom at the rear also benefits from fitted wardrobes and offers pleasant views of the extensive rear garden. The third bedroom, ideal as a single room or home office, provides flexibility for those requiring work-from-home space. The modern family bathroom, featuring a three-piece suite, completes the first-floor accommodation.

Outside, the South-West facing rear garden is beautifully landscaped and primarily laid to lawn, offering exceptional privacy from neighbouring homes. The garden is home to an array of mature fruit trees and shrubs, providing a tranquil outdoor space. Despite the property’s extension, there is still potential for further expansion, subject to the necessary planning consents.

This property is a prime example of 1930s architecture, perfectly blending period features with modern updates, set in a thriving suburb. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality and finish of this exceptional home.

Vendor comments:

“ We bought Northfold Road as it retains 1930s character whilst accommodating open plan family living. The community feel to the area with good local amenities and schools is a particular feature we like. We have reconfigured the open plan kitchen, emphasising the multi fuel wood burner and views onto the landscaped garden whilst recently decorating the living room. The history can be seen throughout the home such as the original picture rails, oak-framed doors however have been accompanied by modern furnishings to provide a good balance. “
