Vendor comments:

\" I love the area and have lived around Stoneygate for several years. Queens Road is very convenient, the park is great and it's very easy to walk into Leicester city. The neighbours and local community are fantastic and I particularly love the features of this row of houses. It's really special. For me, the doorbell and original fireplaces were the most immediate attractions when I first saw the house. \"
