House For Sale £700,000
Drive down St James Road, with its lovely Victorian terraced properties, to reach the stylish and elegant Lorimer Villa. This home was built in around 1870 and its Victorian grandeur is evident from the moment it comes into sight. The double bay-frontage is a real find – something special is in store…
The current owners have lived here for over fifteen fabulous years, over which time they have fully renovated and enhanced the property to draw further its homely feel. The strong attention to detail and the beautifully restored original features carefully ensure continuity and flow throughout and the wonderful sense of space and light is apparent even before a foot is stepped through the door.
Kerb appeal does not disappoint, with the property nestling behind red brick and wrought iron and those first impressions are not misplaced. The smart and sturdy front door is flanked by that pair of bay windows and the nod to Victorian splendour is a beautiful addition.
St James Road is one of Leicester’s most favoured addresses. Lying two miles from the city centre, its ease of access to excellent schools and a wealth of leisure, medical and recreational facilities provide all amenities at a stone’s throw. It sits in the most sought-after Leicestershire postcode - and with the city centre a super convenient commute (and access to London St Pancras taking just over an hour), trips further afield are a breeze. It really does have it all.
Enter the property through the front door to set foot in the hugely spacious hallway, complete with original tiled floors and coving. Access to the living room, sitting/dining room, study, garden room, kitchen/breakfast room and a fully accessible wet room are all from the hallway. A cellar, prime for renovation lies beneath. The layout flows smoothly downstairs, giving a real feel of space and one can’t help but imagine how beautiful a Christmas tree would look in here.
The living room, with its large bay window and feature fireplace is bright and airy. There is room for the largest of sofas, making this space warm, inviting and perfect for those cosy evenings in and special occasions full of love and laughter.
The sitting/dining room, with its neutral palate and gloriously large bay window is a great space for children and adults alike. Natural light floods this multi-purpose room, giving a spacious, calming vibe and so much space to play.
The kitchen area is the hub of this home. Wonderfully renovated, with bespoke cupboards and top of the range appliances, it really does have the wow factor. The natural stone floors and premium Star Galaxy granite worktops create a homely, warm and welcoming feel. Tonnes of storage, breakfast bar and large family dining area make this a stunning, yet really practical family space. There is access directly into the garden room and outside too – perfect for keeping an eye on everyone! A utility room, storage area and WC adds to the practicality too. It’s a great entertaining space and just right for modern family life.
The study is bright, light and bold. Large windows look through the garden room to a thatch of lawn, and another feature fireplace ensures the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.
Take the wooden-banistered, wool-carpeted staircase to the first floor, where you will find six spacious bedrooms and two family bathrooms. The décor is tastefully in keeping with the rest of the home, whilst ceiling rosed lighting and large Velux windows showcase how bright and airy this area of the home continues to be.
The fresh, generous family bathroom with double sinks, ginormous shower and lots of floor space will keep up with the busiest of mornings. A second bathroom with tub and feature fireplace nestles between bedrooms five and six – just the ticket for getting five minutes peace away from the hustle and bustle of busy family life.
Open the door to a remarkable and spacious master bedroom where the bright, neutral decor and a large front-facing window create a sense of lightness and elegance in the room. The original fireplace and features showcase yet more of this home’s magic.
Return along the landing and pop into bedroom two, where the bright a décor is accented to perfection by another original fireplace and front-facing window. In bedroom three, a corner fireplace adds to the classical feel and views over the back garden and beyond greet you. A comfortable double with plenty of room for storage, this is a lovely space to bed down for the night.
Bedroom four is perfect as a nursery, child’s room or home office, whilst bedrooms five and six have plenty of space for a big bed and furniture to match, creating an effortlessly cool and relaxing vibe.
The outside space behind this home is really impressive for the area. The large deck can be accessed from the garden room or past the kitchen, lending a real feeling of bringing the outside in. Alfresco dining and entertaining is a must during summer months!
Peace and tranquillity can be found in abundance here. The garden is surrounded by hedges and trees, adding to a sense of peace and privacy.
The garden is a lovely size, turfed and ready for the biggest of trampolines – or maybe waiting to be landscaped into your very own slice of the Good Life? The Coach House studio is primed and ready for a transformation - a craft room, art studio, guest suite or home office are just some of the options here. The possibilities for this home and garden are only limited by your imagination…
