House For Sale £270,000
Situated in New Walk's conservation area and retaining many original features, the property has undergone a lengthy programme of refurbishment over the past 17 years including conversion of the cellar into a games/cinema room, a new roof to the rear of the property, a stylishly appointed-fitted kitchen and reconditioned/replaced windows where necessary.
The accommodation is vast but beginning with the ground-floor, it comprises a beautiful entrance hall with original oak flooring, two deceptively spacious reception rooms (one previously used as a downstairs bedroom). The first reception room boasts original sash windows to the front aspect alongside a stunning log-burner fireplace. The lounge includes a feature fireplace alongside views through a large sash window onto the rear garden which floods the space with natural light. To the rear of the property is stylishly appointed fitted kitchen benefitting from underfloor heating, a seven-ring gas cylinder hob with concealed extractor fan alongside space for all relevant appliances, ample kitchen storage and access to the rear courtyard garden. The cellar has been converted into a games/cinema room which has brought hours of entertainment to our vendors over the years.
On the first floor are two generously sized double bedrooms, continuing the trend of characterful features shown throughout the house. In particular, the second bedroom includes a beautiful decorative tiled fireplace with a marble surround positioned in the centre of the room. Furthermore, a three-piece family bathroom is located on the first floor alongside a separate w/c.
On the second floor is a further bedroom with a stunning original feature fireplace, oak-panelling and views onto the rear court-yard. The property includes a hidden door that provides access to a separate dressing room and a well-appointed, stylish three-piece en-suite. To the rear of the property is a low maintenance and private south-facing courtyard garden with relevant outbuildings alongside patio and seating area. Our vendor informs us the property benefits from permit parking at a cost of £30.00 per year and that there is no limit of permits per property. Given the rarity of properties coming on the market in this area at this price bracket, an internal viewing comes highly recommended.
Location:
New Walk is an idyllic location within Leicester City Centre. The houses around central New Walk date from the 1850s and 1860s and would have been the homes of merchants, manufacturers and professionals. Last to be developed along New Walk were the large Victorian houses of its upper section (dating from the 1880s). Many were designed by the architect Stockdale Harrison which reflected the growing prosperity of Leicester's business and professional classes who preferred to live away from the town centre. Along with the many fabulous looking buildings and terraced houses, there is a serenity to New Walk. Leicester Museum and Art Gallery are located nearby alongside Leicester Cathedral. New Walk is conveniently positioned to provide excellent access to Leicester train station with direct trains taking you to London St Pancras in a little over an hour. The adjoining combined suburbs of Stoneygate and Clarendon Park also offer a full range of local amenities including shopping for day-to-day and specialist boutique bars, restaurants and shops found along Queens Road.
Vendor comments:
" We fell in love with the character of the property - it is so deceiving from the outside, especially with an extra floor that has been made into the master bedroom suite. Having the cinema room during the pandemic has allowed us to visit the Royal Opera House on Friday after work alongside watching a Queen concert as well! Our house is close to everything. The Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester Tiger's rugby ground. Leicester City fc football ground, both Universities and so forth. Shopping at your own convenience without the queues is so simple as well as being able to walk to the train station in less than 10 minutes. Furthermore, we chose the property as the garden is south facing and provided us with ample space for entertaining and growing crops with little effort. We have had many parties going late into the evening with neighbours who have never complained about us and nor us about them. "
