4 bedroom detached house

Set back from the road behind established trees and positioned on of Stoneygate’s most desirable residential roads, Ravenscroft is a lovingly maintained four-bedroom detached home, offered to the market for the first time in over 30 years. Located on the peaceful and tree-lined Westminster Road, the house occupies a generous and mature plot, a short walk from the independent shops, cafés and restaurants along Allandale Road and Francis Street. The house has been extended and carefully maintained over the years, combining original character with thoughtful modern additions that create a sense of light, space and quiet connection to the outside offering a little over 1700 sq ft of living accommodation.

Accommodation extends across two floors. The approach is via a broad paved driveway, providing off-street parking for up-to five vehicles. Entry is through a wide and welcoming hallway, which immediately sets the tone, generous in scale, calm in atmosphere, and offering a visual connection to the garden beyond. To the front lies the primary reception room, an elegant space with excellent ceiling height, a large double-glazed window and a centrally positioned modern fireplace. The atmosphere is light and open, with an easy sense of flow. A second reception room is positioned at the rear of the plan and opens directly to the garden via French doors, framing leafy views and allowing natural light to fill the space throughout the day. Adjacent is the well appointed breakfast kitchen, carefully configured for daily use and informal dining. It features granite work surfaces, ample cabinetry, and a five-ring Rangemaster cooker with space for all necessary appliances. Double French doors open from here to the rear terrace, further connecting the interior with the garden. The former garage has been converted to create a useful utility room, housing the boiler and washing appliances. A newly refurbished three-piece bathroom sits to the rear of the hallway, completing the ground floor accommodation.

The staircase rises to a broad first-floor landing, naturally lit by a side-facing window. Four double bedrooms are arranged across this level. All are well-proportioned and filled with light; three include fitted wardrobes, while the fourth offers space for freestanding furniture. Each room allows for various configurations of sleeping and working space, with plenty of room for desks or additional storage if needed. A second family bathroom, similarly well-presented and neutral in tone, completes the first floor accommodation. The loft is both boarded and insulated and presents further potential for extension and re-modelling, subject to all necessary consents.

The rear garden is one of the home’s key features. An expansive, private space designed with simplicity and seclusion in mind. A paved terrace runs across the rear elevation, offering space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond, a large lawn is bordered by mature trees, conifer hedging and established planting, creating a calm and sheltered setting throughout the seasons. To the side of the house, a wide section of garden provides potential for further extension or reconfiguration, subject to the relevant planning permissions. Initial exploratory plans have been considered by the current owners.

Westminster Road is one of Stoneygate’s most established and desirable addresses, quiet yet conveniently located for excellent local schooling, open green spaces, and the amenities of Clarendon Park and Leicester city centre. Offered with no upwards chain, viewings are highly recommended.
