Stanfell Road
Leicester

A considered reinvention of a 1930s semi-detached home, this property balances period integrity with a confident, contemporary aesthetic. Completely remodelled and carefully extended, the house embraces a refined yet expressive palette, with interiors that prioritise light, flow and a strong connection to the garden beyond.

The approach is quietly striking, anchored by a black timber entrance door, with scope to introduce off-street parking for two vehicles. Inside, a generous hallway with restored oak flooring sets the tone, leading to two reception spaces that have been reimagined for modern living. To the front, a calm, light-filled room is centred around an exposed brick feature, offering texture and warmth. Beyond, a second reception room is more intimate in feel, subtly separated with glazed sliding doors to allow flexibility between open and closed living. The rear of the plan opens out into a carefully composed kitchen, dining and living space. Framed by views of the garden, this is a room designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Clean-lined cabinetry is paired with integrated appliances, while an L-shaped island introduces a social focal point with informal seating. There is ample room for a dedicated dining setting, and French doors extend the space outward, reinforcing the indoor–outdoor dialogue. A newly finished WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged off a generous landing, two doubles and a single, each thoughtfully presented with built-in storage. A standout family bathroom introduces a more expressive design language, with a roll-top bath and a rich, moody palette that adds depth and contrast. Original timber flooring continues across this level, enhancing the home’s material continuity.

The garden is a defining element of the property, designed with a strong sense of structure and seasonality. A mix of fruit and blossom trees sit within established borders, creating both privacy and visual interest. A lawned area offers openness, while a slightly raised terrace provides a natural setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. To the front, readily available on-street parking can be found outside the property whilst there is also potential to configure a driveway for the property following the relevant consents.

Situated in the heart of Clarendon Park, an early viewing is essential to truly appreciate the craftsmanship on offer.

Location:

Positioned within the heart of Clarendon Park, Stanfell Road sits within one of the city’s most characterful and design-conscious neighbourhoods. Known for its tree-lined streets and cohesive period architecture, the area has evolved into a vibrant, community-led enclave that balances everyday convenience with a distinctly independent spirit. A short walk brings you onto Queens Road, the neighbourhood’s central artery, where a curated mix of independent cafés, restaurants and boutiques create a lively yet understated energy. From artisan coffee spots to well-regarded eateries, the offering here reflects a strong emphasis on quality and local identity, making it a natural extension of the home’s considered aesthetic. Green space is equally accessible, with Victoria Park just moments away, offering expansive open lawns, mature trees and a setting that shifts beautifully through the seasons. The park provides a valuable counterpoint to urban living, ideal for both quiet retreat and informal recreation. Connectivity is seamless, with Leicester Railway Station within easy reach, offering direct links to London and other major cities. The location also benefits from close proximity to the University of Leicester and the Leicester Royal Infirmary, further reinforcing its appeal for a range of buyers.
