A Renovated Georgian Townhouse with a Stunning Kitchen Extension
A Georgian townhouse in the English town of Leicester has been completely renovated by its current owners, pairing historical details with contemporary additions. The owners created a more logical floor plan for the house, which is still largely as it was when the house was built.
The townhouse has a beautiful open-plan social living space with sitting and dining areas. In the back, the house has been extended for a beautiful kitchen space with Crittall-style windows and a high slanted ceiling.

You enter the house on the upper ground floor, where a series of reception spaces welcome you into the beautiful home. The large, original sash windows have been replaced with custom-made, heritage-approved sash windows throughout to retain that historic look.


The living room is centered around a fireplace with a wood burner, and the walls are painted in ‘Inchyra Blue’ by Farrow & Ball.
A double-wide doorway gives access to the dining room. Both rooms have painted floorboards to create a harmonious look in the living spaces. The dining room is a stylish space with dado rails and cornicing.
Through a pair of glass sliding doors, you enter the best room in the house. The extended kitchen was created by the current owners, featuring a high slanted ceiling, tall Crittall-style windows from Met Therm, and roof lights that draw in plenty of natural light.
The subtly textured band-sawn beech cupboards from Sebastian Cox for deVOL Kitchens are paired with Carrara marble countertops. The kitchen island is also a breakfast bar, and open cabinets provide storage for cookbooks.
The walls are painted in ‘Setting Plaster’ by Farrow & Ball.
The basement floor is home to a utility room with ‘Pantry Blue’ deVOL Shaker cabinets and a home office.
The entire first floor is home to a master suite, compromising of a bedroom, bathroom, and wardrobe room. The light walls contrast the dark-painted floorboards.
Each room has a beautiful fireplace, and the wardrobe room features oak cabinets, a green chaise longue, and a lovely sash window.
The master suite bathroom is located above the kitchen, so it is a new addition to the house. The room has a freestanding ‘Lyon’ bath from Arroll, black fittings, and marble tiles in the shower.
There are two more bedrooms on the top floor that share a bathroom with a shower.
The house is listed for £750,000 at Inigo.
