281, Bradgate Road, Leicester, LE7 7FX

If houses could talk, this one would probably start with, "They really don't build them like this anymore." Sam Cable of Taylors Estate Agency, Rothley is delighted to bring to the market this gorgeous three-bedroom period home on the ever-popular Bradgate Road, Anstey.

Packed with original character, thoughtfully extended and enjoying views across to Bradgate Park, this is one of those homes that instantly feels warm, welcoming and full of personality.

From the moment you walk through the front door, it's hard not to smile.

The original tiled hallway floor sets the tone, while beautiful picture rails, high ceilings and feature fireplaces remind you that this is a home with history and plenty of it.

To the front, the cosy living room is centred around an original fireplace, making it the perfect spot for winter evenings.

There's also a second reception room, ideal as a formal dining room, snug, playroom or even a home office if working from home is part of your routine. Then comes the surprise...

The rear of the property opens into a fantastic extended kitchen and dining space that feels made for modern family life.

Whether it's busy weekday breakfasts, Sunday lunches or friends gathered around the table with a glass of wine, this room is very much the heart of the home.

A handy downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two generous doubles and a comfortable single bedroom that's perfect as a nursery, child's bedroom or study.

Both double bedrooms enjoy beautiful far-reaching countryside views, while the rear bedroom looks directly towards the iconic Bradgate Park.

Waking up to that view every morning certainly isn't something you find every day. And just when you think you've seen it all...

The loft has been fully boarded and professionally clad, creating an incredibly useful additional space. Home office? Children's playroom? Hobby room? Quiet reading spot? The choice is yours.

Outside, the rear garden is every bit as impressive as the house itself.

There's plenty of lawn for children to play, space for summer barbecues and enough room for keen gardeners to really make it their own.

Tucked away at the bottom is a substantial outbuilding complete with power, making it perfect as a workshop, home gym, studio or even your own escape from the house when you need five minutes of peace.

To the front, there's off-road parking for one vehicle. Homes like this don't come along very often.

They offer all the character buyers fall in love with, without sacrificing the practical space modern life demands. It's easy to see why the current owners have loved living here.

Location Living on Bradgate Road means you're never far from something worth doing. Fancy a morning coffee followed by a walk? Bradgate Park is literally a few minutes away.

Whether you're walking the dog, meeting friends, cycling through the park or simply watching the deer roam across the landscape, having one of Leicestershire's most famous beauty spots on your doorstep is something you'll never tire of.

Anstey itself has all the ingredients that make village life so popular.

Independent cafés, welcoming pubs, restaurants, local shops, supermarkets and highly regarded schools are all within easy reach, creating a real sense of community that keeps people coming back.

Need to commute? Leicester city centre is just a short drive away, while the A46, A50 and M1 are all easily accessible, making travel around the East Midlands straightforward.

Regular bus services run through the village, and Leicester railway station offers direct trains to London, Birmingham and beyond. The best part? You get the best of both worlds.

Peaceful countryside, stunning walks and village charm, without feeling cut off from everything you need. It's no surprise that homes on Bradgate Road are always in demand.
