Sidney Road
Leicester

This beautifully presented three-bedroom Victorian home, offered with no upward chain, is perfectly situated in the heart of South Knighton, on the tree-lined Sidney Road. Designed with meticulous care by the current owner, the house boasts a thoughtfully reconfigured layout that creates a series of elegant, harmoniously connected rooms, all decorated in a soft, neutral colour palette. The home retains much of its original character, with soaring ceilings, Minton floor tiles, and generously proportioned sash windows, all forming a perfect backdrop for modern design touches that complement the building's original bones. The north-facing garden is impeccably maintained and features a variety of mature shrubbery, offering immediate privacy from neighbouring properties.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a wide entrance hall with the original Minton flooring, which leads to two spacious reception rooms. The main reception room, located at the front of the house, features a large single-glazed sash window that floods the space with natural light, while a cast-iron feature fireplace and original picture rails enhance the room’s period charm. The second reception room, centrally located, is beautifully decorated and opens onto the north-facing garden through single-glazed timber doors. This room also has a cast-iron feature fireplace, adding to it’s welcoming feel. Oak-framed doors lead to an extended shaker-style breakfast kitchen at the rear of the property. The kitchen has been tastefully refurbished with a cottage-like aesthetic, featuring blue-tiled splash-backs, ample space for appliances, and plenty of eye-level and base-level storage units topped with wooden work surfaces. The clever redesign has also created space for a utility room and a downstairs WC, with a side door providing convenient access to the rear garden.

The deceptively spacious first-floor landing opens onto three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The largest bedroom, located at the front of the house, is bathed in natural light from its single-glazed windows, which are fitted with bespoke shutter blinds. This room also includes fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom, a spacious double, is centrally positioned and offers sufficient room for all necessary furniture. The third bedroom, located at the rear of the first floor, is ideally suited as a single bedroom or home office. Completing the first floor is a stylish, three-piece family bathroom. Outside, the property offers a private, low-maintenance, paved courtyard-style garden surrounded by established shrubbery and flower borders. On-street parking is available directly in front of the house.

Additional features include a newly installed Ideal combi boiler (fitted in 2023). Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the exceptional finish, generous living space, and prime location that this charming property offers.
