Howard Road, Clarendon Park, Leicester, LE2 1XH

This fine example of a Victorian Villa has been beautifully transformed during its recent ownership, with careful attention paid to both modernisation and the preservation of its period character. Arranged over three storeys, the property offers well-balanced and stylish living space, enhanced by high-quality finishes throughout.

The traditional façade is set behind a low level brick wall with pedestrian access granted via an opening. The front garden is styled with smart fencing and a practical bicycle stand, ideal for secure storage, while to the side is a slabbed pathway providing gated access to the rear garden.

A part-glazed entrance door opens into a storm porch and through to a welcoming entrance hallway, where striking Minton tiled flooring extends through the space, seamlessly blending heritage features with contemporary styling.

The living accommodation is particularly impressive, with the principal reception room enjoying a large bay window which floods the space with natural light. Original features including a ceiling rose, coving, and fireplace have been thoughtfully retained, while the space has been opened to create a generous, flowing layout ideal for modern family living. A log burner provides a focal point and adds warmth and character.

To the rear, the extended kitchen/dining space has been reconfigured to create a stylish and functional heart of the home. A useful utility room and pantry are positioned prior to entering the kitchen itself, providing excellent additional storage and practicality. The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke shaker-style units, complemented by quality work surfaces and a central island with breakfast seating. There is ample space for appliances, alongside a range-style cooker with extractor above. The room benefits from excellent natural light via windows and doors overlooking and opening onto the garden.

A well-appointed WC is conveniently located off the hallway.

The first floor offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all thoughtfully presented, along with a stylish family bathroom. The bathroom has been beautifully refitted with a contemporary yet characterful finish, featuring a panelled bath with rainfall shower over, bespoke vanity unit, and striking patterned flooring complemented by soft-toned tiling.

The second floor provides a further generous double bedroom, benefitting from useful eaves storage and offering flexible use as a bedroom, office, or studio. Planning permission has been granted to further enhance this level, offering excellent scope for extension or reconfiguration, as per the approved drawings.

Externally, the rear garden has been fully landscaped to create a contemporary and low-maintenance outdoor space. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, it features defined seating areas, planting, and a hot tub, providing a private and tranquil setting. To the rear, there is also a large shed/workshop positioned on hardstanding, offering excellent additional storage or potential for hobby use.
