4 bed detached house for sale

Westernhay Road, Stoneygate, Leicester LE2

Substantial detached home in prime Stoneygate location, offering four double bedrooms, generous reception rooms, a stylish kitchen, garage and a private south-east facing garden.

Positioned on one of Stoneygate’s most regarded roads, this substantial characterful home reflects the craftsmanship and proportions typical of the interwar period. Set back behind mature hedging, the property enjoys privacy from the road, with a driveway providing off-road parking and leading to a garage accessed externally.

The front door opens into a wide and welcoming hallway, immediately giving a sense of the scale of the house. The original oak staircase rises from here, forming a strong focal point and leading to the first floor.

To the left of the hall sits the main living room, a generous dual-aspect space with a bay window to the front and an additional side window, centred around a fireplace. Double doors connect through to the study, allowing both rooms to flow together when desired.

The study is particularly striking, featuring a distinctive arched brick window and sliding doors opening directly onto the rear terrace, creating an ideal home office or additional reception room with direct access to the garden.

The dining room is also accessed from the hallway and enjoys a wide bay window overlooking the rear garden. While separate from the kitchen, it retains a traditional serving hatch through to that space.

The kitchen has been refreshed by the current owners, with redecoration, new tiling and a replaced sink, while retaining the existing off-white units which have been in place for many years. A separate breakfast area adjoins the kitchen and looks out over the front garden. From the kitchen there is access to a utility room, and beyond that an external door leading towards the driveway and garage. A ground floor WC is positioned off the hallway to the right as you enter the property.

Upstairs, the staircase rises to a spacious central landing. The first floor provides four double bedrooms arranged around this landing. Two of the larger bedrooms benefit from bay windows, while the remaining rooms are well proportioned and overlook the garden or frontage.

There are two separate bathrooms on this level. One is a three-piece shower room, and the other is the main family bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over. Both are accessed independently from the landing.

The rear garden is south-east facing, allowing for morning and early afternoon sun across the terrace and lawn. Designed around a distinctive circular lawn and framed by mature trees and established planting, it offers both privacy and structure. A paved terrace sits directly outside the study and rear of the house, creating a natural space for outdoor seating and entertaining.
