Situated on the edge of Stoneygate on a highly-sought after residential street within South Knighton, this reimagined three-bedroom home effortlessly blends the elegance of its original architecture with considered, modern updates. Beyond its handsome façade, the interiors retain a wealth of period detail: Soaring ceilings, Minton-tiled floors, and finely crafted joinery sit harmoniously alongside a thoughtfully appointed kitchen and a tranquil courtyard garden.
The entrance hall sets the tone with a striking black-and-white Minton tiled floor. To the front, the lounge is flooded with natural light from a bay window, where a gas coal-effect fire rests within an elegant surround, flanked by fitted cupboards and shelving finished in Farrow & Ball’s “Railings” complemented by stripped timber flooring. The dining room is warm and inviting, centred around a white-painted cast-iron fireplace, with original stain-leaded glass discreetly positioned. Original doors open onto the garden, framing a leafy view, while the space is finished with an eclectic dusty-pink palette. This flows seamlessly into the kitchen, where bespoke cabinetry is topped with smooth marble-like work surfaces, complemented by a Belfast sink and large Aga, creating a perfect balance of practicality and timeless style. A utility room provides extensive storage and space for white goods, along with a modern Worcester boiler, while a discreet guest WC lies to the rear completing the ground-floor accommodation.
Upstairs, a wide landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from fitted storage and ample space for essential furniture, each presented in a contemporary, modern style throughout. The bathroom is generously sized, featuring a five-piece suite with a deep bath, separate shower, bidet, and hand basin. Recent upgrades include expressive wallpaper, adding character and charm and a new-shower cubicle.
Outside, the rear courtyard garden is private and low-maintenance, with integrated storage and potential for further remodelling. Exceptionally well positioned to enjoy all that South Knighton offers, this home celebrates the fabric of the Victorian era while subtly adapting it for contemporary living, creating a space that is both refined and welcoming.
