Stoughton Road
Leicester

A beautifully presented 1960s townhouse, quietly nestled in the leafy heart of Stoneygate – a rare offering to the open market, just a short walk from the independent shops and eateries of Allandale Road.

This elegant three-bedroom home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, blending mid-century proportions with contemporary design sensibility. Positioned on a peaceful residential street, it enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy while remaining close to the vibrant amenities of Leicester’s most desirable suburb. With very few three-bedroom homes available in the area under £300,000, the house presents a rare opportunity for first-time buyers and investors alike, offering a predicted rental income of between £975 and £1,050 per calendar month.

The house is set behind a neat frontage with a driveway providing off-street parking for two vehicles. Entry is through a wide hallway, where engineered oak flooring runs underfoot and continues into the main living areas. To the front of the plan lies a well-proportioned sitting room, illuminated by a broad, double-glazed window and finished in a soft, neutral palette with plush wool carpets underfoot — a calm and inviting space for retreat. To the rear, the home opens up into a light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, arranged to take full advantage of the garden views. Here, a large picture window frames the leafy, north-west facing garden, and soft pastel tones sit in harmony with natural oak flooring. The kitchen has been carefully integrated, with sleek cabinetry offering both base and eye-level storage, an induction hob with a concealed extractor, and built-in appliances including an oven and fridge-freezer. A breakfast bar adds a sociable element to the space. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility area, offering additional storage and access to the rear garden. This space has the potential to be adapted further, whether for laundry, pantry or storage with relevant plumbing and electrics in place for the washing machine and tumble dryer.

Upstairs, the layout continues to impress. All three bedrooms are generous doubles, each enjoying good levels of natural light and well-considered proportions. They are served by a larger-than-average family bathroom, which has been tastefully updated with contemporary fixtures and a clean, modern aesthetic.

Outside, the rear garden is both private and beautifully designed. A well-kept lawn stretches out beyond, framed by established borders and mature trees that provide year-round greenery and natural screening. A second seating area at the far end of the garden offers a quiet spot for evening drinks or alfresco dining.

In all, this is a rare and quietly stylish home in a location that offers the best of both worlds — peaceful residential living within easy reach of independent shops, excellent schools, and well-connected transport links into the city centre. Offered to the market in immaculate condition. early viewing is strongly encouraged.

Vendor comments:

“ Having searched the Clarendon Park area for a 2 or 3 bedroom house, we stumbled upon this house in a fantastic location in Stoneygate, just 2 minutes’ walk from Allandale Road and 5 minutes from the Co-Op. We were attracted by the combination of a good size open plan living room and kitchen, combined with a snug TV room. Upstairs the bedroom are good sizes and the bathroom is cleverly designed and spacious. The garden needs very little maintenance but is very pretty and changes with the seasons. We can also fit both our cars on the front driveway – a big plus compared to Clarendon Park. We had not planned to move and have maintained the house with the intention of staying here. Recently though, with young grandchildren and working from home, we reluctantly need to find somewhere a bit bigger. “
