Daneshill Road, Leicester

Set at the head of a cul-de-sac in Leicester’s popular West End, this substantial Victorian villa combines distinctive period character with stylish interiors and a secluded landscaped garden. Believed to date from around 1880, the property offers more than 1,600 sq ft of accommodation arranged over three floors, with four bedrooms and generous spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. Offered with no onward chain, it presents an appealing opportunity to acquire an established home in this well-connected neighbourhood.
Gated access and steps lead to the front entrance, opening into a welcoming hallway with wooden flooring. The principal lounge features a broad front-facing bay window, allowing natural light to fill the room, while a decorative fireplace provides an attractive centrepiece. Period detailing and elegant chandelier lighting complement the home’s Victorian proportions.
A separate dining room offers a versatile second reception space, with French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. Equally suited to formal dining or use as an additional sitting room, it enjoys a pleasant connection with the outdoor space.
Extending to approximately 7.28 metres, the kitchen/diner provides a spacious setting for cooking, gathering and informal meals. Wooden flooring runs throughout, while a side bay window and a further window overlooking the garden bring light into the room. A comprehensive range of fitted cabinets is complemented by coordinating work surfaces, a sink and drainer and integrated appliances. A door provides access to the garden, while the separate utility room offers additional worktop space and provision for laundry appliances. A ground-floor WC completes the accommodation on this level.
Across the upper floors are four well-proportioned bedrooms, providing flexibility for family life, guests or working from home. The principal bedroom measures approximately 4.8 metres by 3.96 metres, while the remaining rooms also offer generous dimensions. An en suite shower room complements the family bathroom, which features a sunken bath, separate shower enclosure, wash basin and WC.
The south-west-facing rear garden is a particularly attractive feature, with mature trees, established planting and walled boundaries creating a private outdoor setting. A spacious patio and a choice of seating areas provide room for outdoor dining and relaxation, surrounded by well-stocked borders and greenery. Side access connects the garden to the front of the property, and a fitted alarm system is an additional practical benefit.
Leicester’s West End offers a lively mix of independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, particularly around Narborough Road and Braunstone Gate. The area is conveniently placed for access to the city centre and De Montfort University, while local bus services provide further travel options. Narborough Road connects with routes towards Fosse Park, the M1 and M69, supporting journeys across Leicester and the wider region.
