<p>Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Stoneygate, just a short stroll from the vibrant cafés, boutiques, and restaurants of Allandale Road and Francis Street, this beautifully remodelled two-bedroom Victorian home offers a rare combination of period charm and contemporary sophistication at an attractive price. Beyond its handsome traditional façade, the house opens into thoughtfully curated interiors where natural materials, soft neutral tones, and refined textures create a calm and inviting atmosphere. Original features such as sash-style windows, ornate coving, picture rails, and stripped timber flooring have been carefully preserved and integrated with modern updates to create a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly liveable.</p><p>The ground floor offers a fluid and versatile layout with two stylish reception rooms. At the front, a sash window fills the space with natural light while the original fireplace and timber flooring add warmth and character. The second reception room features a rich, moody burgundy palette and a cast iron log burner that acts as a striking focal point, with French doors opening directly onto the garden and drawing the outdoors in. At the heart of the home lies a bespoke 18ft breakfast kitchen designed by renowned craftsman Joel LaRoza. Finished in a soft, contemporary palette with hints of blue, the kitchen combines clean lines and elegant cabinetry with high-quality integrated appliances, brass fittings and sufficient surface area. Expansive sash-style windows and a picture window at the rear invite light and frame serene views of the garden. A rear lobby leads to a discreet ground floor WC, completing the ground-floor layout.</p><p>Upstairs, a split-level landing leads to two generous double bedrooms, both retaining original cast iron fireplaces and traditional proportions. Each room is bright and well-balanced, easily accommodating modern furnishings while maintaining the elegance of the home’s Victorian heritage. The family bathroom has been beautifully reimagined with exposed brickwork, heritage-style fittings, and a classic roll-top bath — a perfect blend of luxury and character that brings a sense of calm and comfort.</p><p>Outside, the rear garden is a true sanctuary. Beautifully landscaped, wonderfully private, lush with mature planting, and thoughtfully arranged with terraced seating, planting, a laid-to-lawn, and established greenery. The space here could very easily be utilised to extend the existing property, subject to necessary consents.</p><p>There is also excellent potential for future development or extension, subject to planning, further enhancing the long-term value of this unique home. With its prime location in one of Leicester’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, moments from green open spaces, excellent local schools, and easy access to the city centre, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home that combines architectural integrity, craftsmanship, and contemporary comfort in equal measure. Homes of this calibre, in such a convenient location, at this price bracket are rarely available. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, design, and lifestyle on offer.</p><p><strong>Location:</strong></p><p>Francis Street is a charming, sought-after street nestled in the heart of Stoneygate, one of Leicester’s most prestigious and historic residential areas.
