West Avenue
Leicester

This expansive four-bedroom Victorian home, offering just under 2,000 square feet of living accommodation, is part of a charming row of handsome terraces in the heart of Clarendon Park, just a short stroll from the renowned Queens Road. Refurbished to an exceptional standard, the property boasts a series of generous living spaces finished with the finest contemporary materials.

Entry is via a paved front garden with raised hedging that provides immediate privacy. Inside, the entrance porch leads to a deceptively spacious hallway, where beautifully restored Minton tiles line the ground floor. This space provides access to the front reception room and the extended deVol breakfast kitchen. The principal reception room is situated at the front of the house and is illuminated by a wide, period bay window complete with original sash windows and bespoke shutter blinds. Great care has been taken to preserve the home’s Victorian character, as evidenced by the original ceiling rose, stripped timber flooring, and a striking cast-iron fireplace with a hearth. An open archway leads to a separate dining area, where double timber doors frame leafy views of the East-facing rear garden. Occupying the extended portion of the home is the beautifully designed open-plan breakfast dining kitchen, fitted by the highly regarded deVol Kitchens. The floor is lined with terracotta tiling, while original sash windows and large skylights flood the space with natural light. The kitchen features a comprehensive range of classic shaker-style base units paired with timber worktops, incorporating a large Belfast sink, a Rangemaster cooker, an integrated double oven, a washing machine, a dishwasher, and space for a fridge-freezer. A well-appointed WC completes the ground floor.

On the first floor, a split-level landing leads to three spacious bedrooms, all served by a stunning four-piece family bathroom. The largest bedroom, situated at the front of the house, features stripped timber flooring, a large sash bay window that fills the room with natural light, and an original cast-iron feature fireplace. The second double bedroom, centrally located, boasts another cast-iron fireplace, an original sash window with leafy views over the rear garden, and stripped timber flooring. The third bedroom, currently configured as a study, is positioned at the far end of the first floor and houses the Worcester combi boiler (approximately six years old).

The recently refurbished family bathroom includes a walk-in rainfall shower, a roll-top bath, and a large vanity unit. A staircase leads to the fourth and final double bedroom, which has been cleverly designed as part of a loft conversion. This generously sized room benefits from Velux skylights, allowing an abundance of natural light. It is complemented by a stylish three-piece en-suite and a walk-in dressing area with fitted wardrobes.

Outside, the east-facing rear garden is well-established and private, featuring a slightly elevated lawn and a separate paved patio terrace. Mature trees and shrubbery enhance the sense of seclusion. On-street parking is readily available directly outside the property.
