Natural light takes centre stage flooding in from the timber framed doors and windows to the side aspect whilst a conveniently positioned utility room homing the Worcester combi-boiler is found to the far end of the space. The property is also equipped with a dry-proofed basement which offers excellent potential to be altered to accommodate further entertainment space, subject to necessary consents. A separate w/c completes the downstairs accommodation on offer.
With stairs rising to the first floor, three double bedrooms and a spectacular four piece family bathroom can be found. The principal bedroom is positioned to the front of the plan, punctuated with a wide sash window to the front aspect. Embellished with original picture rails and decorative coving, the room is both bright and airy, large enough to accommodate all necessary furniture. A further two bedrooms are both generous in size, boasting original cast iron fireplaces whilst bedroom three, found to the rear of the first floor includes a large original bay-window offering a leafy aspect to the garden. A magnificent four piece bathroom suite has been tastefully designed offering a freestanding roll top cast-iron clawfoot bath-tub finished in a deep blue colour palette, a separate rainfall shower with metro-brick tiling, wash hand basin and porcelain w/c.

Low maintenance and with established shrubbery, the garden is mainly laid-to-lawn with a paved patio area. The gate at the rear leads onto a pathway connecting to Cross Road. Readily available on-street parking can be found directly outside the property. Offered with no chain, early viewing is essential to truly appreciate the vast accommodation on offer.

Vendor comments:
" I love the area and have lived around Stoneygate for several years. Queens Road is very convenient, the park is great and it's very easy to walk into Leicester city. The neighbours and local community are fantastic and I particularly love the features of this row of houses. It's really special. For me, the doorbell and original fireplaces were the most immediate attractions when I first saw the house. "
