4 bed detached house for sale

Westcotes Drive, Leicester LE3

A confident four-bedroom detached period home, arranged over three floors and rich in preserved 1920s character.

Set back from one of Leicester’s most sought-after residential addresses, Westcotes Drive presents an elegant and enduring example of early 20th-century architecture. Built circa 1928, this distinctive home has remained remarkably faithful to its original design, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a property where heritage and proportion have been carefully preserved.

From the outset, the home makes a confident impression. Its characterful façade, framed by mature planting and set behind a generous frontage, delivers undeniable curb appeal - hinting at the craftsmanship and detail that continues within.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall is nothing short of striking. Original wood panelling wraps the space in warmth and texture, beautifully complemented by classic tiled flooring underfoot. It is a moment of arrival that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home - timeless, considered, and full of personality.

To the left, the first reception room is bathed in natural light via a deep bay window overlooking the front garden. Parquet flooring flows underfoot, while a central fireplace anchors the room, creating a space that feels both elegant and inviting.

A second reception room sits to the right, offering a wonderfully versatile living space with dual-aspect views across both the front and rear gardens. A feature fireplace once again takes centre stage, while original details such as the picture rail subtly reinforce the home’s period integrity.

To the rear, the kitchen is a true celebration of character and functionality - a space that feels both authentic and highly usable. Original tiled flooring, a traditional range cooker, and bespoke cabinetry combine to create a setting that will appeal to those who appreciate craftsmanship and individuality. Direct access to the garden enhances the connection between inside and out.

Ascending to the first floor, three well-proportioned bedrooms unfold from a beautifully preserved staircase and landing. The principal bedroom enjoys an outlook over the mature rear garden, while the second bedroom offers equally generous proportions. The third room - currently utilised as a home office - provides flexibility for modern living, whether as a nursery, study, or guest space.

The family bathroom continues the narrative of the home, where heritage features and distinctive design choices create a room full of charm and character.

The journey continues upward to the second floor. An addition that has been sensitively introduced to complement the original structure. Here, a substantial fourth bedroom enjoys elevated views across the city, offering a sense of privacy and retreat. An en-suite bathroom sits just across the landing, completing a floor that is perfectly suited for guests, older children, or a dedicated workspace.

Externally, the rear garden is both mature and private, an established outdoor space framed by greenery and offering a peaceful escape from the city. There is also the benefit of additional storage, enhancing practicality without compromising the setting.
