Elegant 4 Bed Detached 1930s Home with Galleried Landing and Extension Potential in Stoneygate

Built circa 1936, this attractive double fronted family home sits proudly on one of Stoneygate’s most desirable residential roads. The property retains a wealth of original character while offering generous proportions, excellent natural light, and substantial scope for future enhancement.

A welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone, showcasing beautiful original wall panelling and a sense of space rarely found in homes of this era. From here, the accommodation flows seamlessly, as illustrated on the attached floorplan, with well balanced reception rooms that lend themselves equally to formal entertaining and everyday family life. The structure and layout of the staircase is particularly striking, rising to a wide and galleried landing that is flooded with natural light from surrounding windows. Both the entrance hall and landing feel open and airy, creating an impressive sense of arrival and circulation throughout the home.

The kitchen is fitted with solid oak cabinetry, offering a timeless and robust finish, and enjoys underfloor heating via an electric system. The adjoining conservatory, also underfloor heated, provides a comfortable additional reception space with views across the rear garden, ideal for year round use. A separate utility room and ground floor WC further enhance practicality.

To the first floor, the galleried landing leads to a range of well proportioned bedrooms, as shown on the floorplan, alongside newly installed bathrooms finished to a high standard with contemporary fittings. These bathrooms also benefit from electric underfloor heating, adding an extra layer of comfort. A new boiler system has been installed, ensuring modern efficiency while complementing the home’s period charm.

Externally, the property enjoys a generous rear garden and a plot that offers exceptional potential. There is significant scope to extend to the rear or side, or to reconfigure the layout to create larger open plan living spaces, subject to the necessary planning permissions. A driveway and garage provide valuable off road parking, completing the practical appeal of the home.

This is a house that combines character, space, and future opportunity in equal measure, with original features that elevate the interior and a layout that has been thoughtfully designed to maximise light and flow.

The property is ideally located for everyday amenities and services, including renowned local public and private schooling, nursery day care, the University of Leicester, Leicester Royal Infirmary, and Leicester General Hospital. Within mere moments, find Victoria Park, Allandale Road, and Francis Street, along with shopping parades in both Stoneygate and neighboring Clarendon Park with their eclectic mix of shops, bars, boutiques, and restaurants. Excellent transport links and proximity to Leicester city centre, just a three mile commute, add to the appeal.

In a nutshell:

A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home in a prime Stoneygate location, offering both immediate comfort and exciting long term potential.
