Portland Road, Clarendon Park, Leicester, LE2 3AB

A beautifully crafted three-storey Victorian villa situated on highly sought-after Portland Road, right in the heart of Clarendon Park. This is a home full of soul and character, where original features have been cherished and blended seamlessly with thoughtful modern touches, including double glazing throughout.

The moment you step inside, the original Minton tiled floor sets an immediate sense of elegance, leading through a wide hallway framed by high ceilings, deep skirtings and the type of period detailing that gives these houses such enduring appeal. The front living room is bright and welcoming, centred around a large bay window that fills the space with natural light and creates an effortlessly comfortable atmosphere with a lovely sense of scale. The stained-glass detail, as found in the front bedroom above, further enhances the home’s period charm.

The second reception room offers a quieter, more intimate feel with its feature fireplace, wood flooring and French doors that lead out onto a small seating area with access to the main garden. From the hallway, there is also access down to a useful cellar, ideal for storage and maintaining the property’s traditional layout.

To the rear, the house opens into an impressive dining kitchen where solid oak cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a vaulted ceiling with skylights create a distinctive and well-crafted space. Beyond this lies a superb sun lounge, where warm timber framing, underfloor heating and double-glazed bi-fold doors give direct access to the patio and garden beyond. It is a naturally calming room that adds valuable additional living space. A ground-floor WC completes the layout.

The first floor provides two exceptionally spacious double bedrooms, each rich in character with sash-style windows, original fireplaces and a pleasing sense of proportion. The family bathroom is a standout feature of the property, a beautifully tiled room with a cast-iron claw-foot bath, separate mains-fed double shower and traditional period-influenced detailing, all finished to an impressive standard.

The top floor houses a third double bedroom with striking ceiling lines, excellent floor space and a feature window looking out over the rooftops of Clarendon Park. Built-in storage along the landing adds further practicality, with additional under-eaves storage offering the possibility for extension STPP.

Outside, the rear garden has been designed as a charming, low-maintenance courtyard with established planting, paved pathways and a characterful timber shed. Traditional brick boundary walls enhance the period feel of the home, while the walled front forecourt adds to its kerb appeal.

Positioned within one of Clarendon Park’s most admired residential streets and offering generous living across three floors, this is a rare opportunity to secure a home rich in character, craftsmanship and preserved Victorian detail.
