60 Main Street, Leicester, LE9 9NP

This three-bedroom house sits prominently along Main Street in Newbold Verdon, its handsome red-brick façade offering a subtle hint at the character and creativity found within.

Defined by its rare dual entrance and an engaging, lateral plan, the house unfolds as a sequence of expressive, light-filled spaces, each with its own identity.

Entry can be taken through either of the two front doors - a distinctive architectural quirk that speaks to the building’s evolution over time.

Inside, the ground floor is arranged as a series of interconnected reception rooms, allowing for both openness and separation.

To one side, a richly styled sitting room centres around an original cast-iron fireplace, its intricate detailing forming a striking focal point against soft neutral walls and warm flooring.

Across the hall, a second reception room offers a creative atmosphere - a space equally suited to reading, working or social gathering.

The dining room sits at the heart of the plan, where deeper tones and clean lines create a more intimate setting.

From here, the kitchen unfolds in contrast: Bold, confident and contemporary in finish.

Deep blue cabinetry is paired with timber worktops and brass fittings, while glazed tiles reflect light from the window above, bringing both texture and vibrancy to the space.

A secondary door leads directly out to the garden, reinforcing the home’s easy connection between inside and out. Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a central landing.

Each is generous in scale, with high ceilings, large windows and painted floorboards contributing to a calm, cohesive aesthetic.

The principal bedroom is particularly notable for its volume and light, while the additional rooms offer flexibility for family life, guests or working from home.

The bathroom is a standout space - both characterful and carefully considered. A freestanding roll-top bath sits against a backdrop of glossy white tiling and rich green walls.

Traditional fittings and painted floorboards complete the composition.

To the rear, the garden has been designed as a low-maintenance courtyard, with paved terraces, established planting and a sense of enclosure that makes it feel both private and usable throughout the seasons.

The second entrance connects neatly here, enhancing the flow of the home. Throughout, original features have been thoughtfully preserved and paired with confident decorative choices.
