Description
Some homes are simply lived in. This one has been truly loved. Set on one of Leicester's most coveted tree-lined roads in the heart of Western Park, 3 Westhill Road offers over 3,300 square feet of meticulously appointed accommodation across four floors, including a substantial cellar. This remarkable 1920s residence has been transformed to an exceptional standard whilst preserving and celebrating every original detail that makes it so special.
Exterior and Approach
The property makes an immediate impression, set back from the road behind a bespoke hardwood front door and a generous granite sett driveway with SUDS-compliant free-draining resin, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. Powered electric gates open onto a spacious courtyard, and an Ohme electric car charger is ready and waiting. A substantial gated side entrance runs the full length of the property, offering significant additional parking and genuine development potential, with previous planning permission having been granted for a bungalow at the foot of the garden, subject to a fresh application.
Ground Floor
From the moment you step inside, the quality and care invested in this home is impossible to miss. The generous entrance hall features solid oak herringbone parquet flooring, original 1920s internal doors and coving, and Farrow and Ball throughout, setting the tone for everything that follows.
The spectacular open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room is the beating heart of this home and genuinely one of the finest spaces of its kind in the city. Flooded with natural light from triple glazed rooflights with remote controllable electric blinds, and framed by handmade bespoke hardwood patio doors opening directly onto the garden, this extraordinary room flows effortlessly from a beautifully fitted contemporary kitchen through to a generous dining space and a wonderfully relaxed sitting area. The custom kitchen features a 3.2 metre island, hidden pantry, integrated appliance garage, boiling water tap and a full suite of integrated appliances. A 10kw DEFRA approved log burner and bespoke media cabinetry with a 130 inch tab-tensioned projector screen complete a room that really does need to be seen in person to be fully understood. The original 1920s cornice work has been carefully matched in the new extension by a like-for-like modern replica, a small detail that speaks volumes about how this renovation has been approached.
A beautifully appointed separate sitting room retains a stunning original period fireplace and bay window, with the herringbone parquet flooring continuing throughout.
The dedicated study is a superb work from home space, with bespoke fitted bookcases floor to ceiling and carefully considered ambient lighting. A ground floor office provides further flexible space that could easily serve as a playroom, additional bedroom or hobby room depending on your needs.
The boot room and WC are finished to the same exceptional standard as the rest of the home, featuring hand-crafted joinery, William Morris wallpaper, hidden storage and a separate laundry nook, where practicality and design sit comfortably side by side. A generous utility room completes the ground floor.
First and Second Floors
The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms and a stunning family bathroom that is quite simply one of the most beautiful rooms in the house. The primary bedroom is a generous and serene retreat with bespoke fitted wardrobes, and the main bathroom features a freestanding copper William Holland bath as its showpiece, complemented by custom vanity and panelling joinery that would not look out of place in a boutique hotel.
The second floor offers a further generous bedroom with its own bathroom and private hallway, perfect for guests, teenagers or an au pair, with a genuine sense of independence from the rest of the house.
Basement
The substantial cellar adds a further and genuinely exciting dimension to this home. Whether you have in mind a home cinema, gym, wine cellar or games room, the space is there and waiting.
Garden and Outdoor Space
The rear garden is a real revelation. Professionally landscaped and exceptionally private, it features mature beech and oak trees, a natural limestone patio, a raised veranda, contemporary planting and beautifully maintained lawn stretching well beyond what you might expect. A brick built workshop with power and a wood burning stove sits to one side, and the far end of the garden offers real potential for further development, subject to planning.
Security and Technology
Eight camera 4k hardwired CCTV with 24/7 local recording, commercial grade Ubiquiti WiFi access points throughout, and a UPS battery backup system mean this home is as well-equipped behind the scenes as it is in front of them.
Location
Westhill Road sits within Western Park, one of Leicester's most desirable and established residential neighbourhoods. The area takes its name from the beautiful Western Park itself, a stunning 60-acre green space with walking trails, sports facilities, a bowling green and open parkland, all just a few minutes walk away.
Leicester city centre is approximately one mile away, with its restaurants, bars, Highcross shopping centre and the celebrated Golden Mile on Belgrave Road, one of the most vibrant cultural and culinary destinations in the East Midlands. The University of Leicester, De Montfort University and Leicester Royal Infirmary are all within easy reach.
Families are well looked after, with a good range of schools nearby including Western Park Primary, Glenfield Primary, Groby Community College and Bosworth Academy. Leicester Grammar School and Stoneygate Preparatory School are both within a short drive for those considering independent schooling.
For those who commute, the A46 and A47 give fast access to the M1 and M69, putting Nottingham, Coventry and Birmingham all within comfortable reach. Leicester railway station is around a mile away, with direct services to London St Pancras in under an hour.
