3 bedroom semi-detached house to rent

South Knighton, Leicester

Set along one of South Knighton’s leafy residential streets, this beautifully reimagined 1930s semi-detached house has been thoughtfully renewed with a quiet sense of elegance. Its bay-fronted façade gives little away of the calm, contemporary interiors within, where generous proportions, natural textures and an abundance of light work in gentle harmony. A wide tiled hall establishes the home’s refined tone, introducing spaces that feel both uplifting and reassuringly functional.

To the front, a wonderfully light reception room remains true to the house’s period soul, with hardwood flooring, a classic fireplace and broad bay window framing views to the street. To the rear, the house opens dramatically: an extended open-plan living, dining and kitchen space unfolds beneath overhead skylights, grounded by a wood-burning stove and anchored by a beautifully considered kitchen, complete with central island, Rangemaster cooker, wine fridge and integrated appliances. Bi-folding doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, allowing light and garden greenery to pour in. A discreet utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

The upper level holds three well-proportioned double bedrooms arranged around a generous landing, where a pull-down ladder leads to a fully boarded loft — an excellent storage solution or a promising foundation for future expansion, subject to consent. The family bathroom has been finished with restraint and confidence, pairing timeless fittings with a refined palette.

The rear garden is unusually deep for the area and unfolds in distinct layers, beginning with a raised timber deck for outdoor dining before descending to a lawn enclosed by mature planting. It is a peaceful and private setting, equally suited to quiet everyday living or further architectural ambition, subject to permission. To the front, a smart block-paved driveway provides parking for two cars and side access to the garden.

This is a house defined by its balance — character and clarity, comfort and craft — set in one of Leicester’s most desirable neighbourhoods, with excellent schooling, green spaces and direct rail connections to London close at hand.
