Selling design-led properties across Stoneygate, Clarendon Park, Knighton and Oadby.

Having joined the Hortons team from a corporate, high street agency where I was the Branch Manager of their Leicester city-centre office, I have an excellent understanding of core principles when it comes to marketing properties and the importance of good customer interaction. My experience has cultivated a fluency and confidence when discussing modern design, architecture and interiors which is well suited to the area that I cover. My approach to estate agency is to first see yourself as a marketeer, second as an estate agent whilst remaining both transparent and personable, ensuring you demonstrate a real empathy for a client’s need whilst understanding the best strategy for selling a product. When selling a property, you are portraying the lifestyle that has been lived and the way this can continue to any other prospective buyer.

Exchanged: Meadowcourt Road & Wakeling View.

One introduction, two homes & a year in the making.

We relaunched Meadowcourt Road after a previous, highly reputable agent had been unable to secure a buyer. Our brief was simple: to create a campaign that properly captured the essence of a home our clients had cherished for several years — thoughtfully reworked in many ways, but with its original character very much intact. The result was a little more interesting than a straightforward sale.

We introduced the house to a buyer off-market. That connection led us to Wakeling View, where we were subsequently trusted to market their home too. Double the responsibility, but ultimately, two successful sales and two very happy clients.

Thinking of selling your design-led home? Lets talk.

Sycamore Close, Oadby.

Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac off Knighton Rise, this five-bedroom detached family home extends to over 3,000 sq ft of living accommodation. Built in the early 1970s and owned by the same family for over 40 years, it is a red-brick detached house with the characteristic staggered, stepped plan of the period. The double garage projects beneath its own shallow gable, the entrance is recessed behind a tiled canopy and the bay to the right steps forward again, giving the façade a distinctly three-dimensional composition. Occupying a plot of just over a quarter of an acre, the house has been extended at either end and remodelled through its centre, creating a sequence of connected rooms with a stronger relationship to the garden. Importantly, its original character has been retained and developed rather than stripped away. Bespoke joinery, enriched plasterwork, hand-painted decoration and faux-marbre finishes give the interiors an unusually individual quality.

Available at Offers Over £975,000.

Shirley Road, Stoneygate.

Dating back to 1939 and cherished by the same owners since 1989, this incredibly versatile three/four bedroom detached home exceeds 2,000sq.ft of living accommodation unfolding across a series of beautifully proportioned living spaces. Occupying a secluded corner plot, screened almost entirely from the street by mature beech hedging, the entrance is quietly understated; an original arched oak gate opens onto a winding path of weathered riven stone, leading beneath low eaves to an original oak front door framed in buff stone. Constructed in red brick beneath a low-pitched clay tile roof, the house retains a wealth of original Arts and Crafts detailing, an immense level of privacy and offered with no upwards chain.

Available at £700,000.

July.

£4,650,000 worth of property entrusted to sell. £3,500,000 worth of property exchanged on.

The average house price in LE2 sits at just under £300,000 for context so this cements as my biggest and best month since going self-employed six years ago. A reminder that even when life throws major curveballs your way, hard work, consistency and perseverance really do pay off.

Expanses of glazing frame the gardens beyond, drawing natural light into the heart of the home and creating an effortless dialogue between inside and out. A restrained palette, finely crafted finishes and generous proportions lend the interiors a timeless quality.

With five double bedrooms and four bathrooms, the house balances architectural refinement with the ease of contemporary family living.
