This family home, constructed in 1905 and famously boasting a Blue Heritage Plaque awarded by the City of Leicester to commemorate the Poet George Sutherland Fraser (1915-1980), who lived at the property from 1958-1980, offers a seamless fusion between period and modern styling; a wealth of period features including timber framed windows, decorative ceiling roses, coving, and dado rails allow character to ooze throughout the property, perfectly contrasted by contemporary fixtures and fittings, and classic flooring.

The wealth of accommodation offered is immediately present upon entering to be welcomed by an entrance porch, accessed via the original front door with leaded windows. The porch leads to a bright and spacious entrance hall, giving access to a handy cloakroom to one side, and to the other, the well-proportioned rooms come in the form of bay-fronted living room featuring carpeted flooring, a classy cast iron fireplace with mahogany surround, coving and dado rail, then to a beautiful dining room, equally with cast iron fireplace and mahogany surround, solid oak flooring and French doors leading to a picturesque private patio surrounded by plants and trees - perfect for a peaceful afternoon wind-down. The contemporary kitchen features wall and base units, granite worktops, a superb Rangemaster oven with gas hob above and space for a fridge/freezer. Beyond you can find a large breakfast room, offering ample space to dine or relax, and you can access the utility room and subsequent WC, while patio doors welcome in the rich garden space.

On the first floor, three double bedrooms are found; the bay-fronted main bedroom with solid oak flooring, cast-iron fireplace and bespoke original fitted wardrobe, leading to a lavish four-piece ensuite comprising a walk-in shower with ceramic tray, Jack-and-Jill sinks set atop individual bespoke vanity units, a heated towel rail, and WC. The second bedroom similarly offers a cast-iron fireplace and original fitted wardrobe, while enjoying views of the rear, and the third bedroom is located at the end of the home beyond a second utilitarian staircase from the kitchen, and these bedrooms share use of a gorgeous family bathroom with characterful corner windows, sink with vanity unit, heated towel rail and a separate WC.

Spacious accommodation continues on the second floor, with two further double bedrooms, one of which has integrated kitchen units with sink and drainer, and both with cast-iron fireplace, sharing a useful three-piece shower room to the front, and a large storage cupboard.

This delightful home offers a contemporary frontage with a new, fully-insulated roof, and is approached through attractive shrubbery surrounding the path to the front door. To the side, a gate leads to the passageway and rear garden, flanked by newly-fitted fencing which continues around the perimeter of the garden. The rear garden offers a highly private and serene space for relaxing consisting of decking, lawn and borders of mature trees and shrubbery, having been redesigned and landscaped in recent years and maintained immaculately.
