Evington Lane, Evington, Leicester, LE5 5PN

In one of Leicester’s most popular residential areas is this superb semi-detached family home that offers plenty of accommodation over three floors. Sitting on a corner plot, the property has recently been extended, with a new roof, and refurbished to a very high standard. There is ample open-plan living with a spectacular kitchen, two reception rooms, six bedrooms, four bathrooms, including one en-suite, off-road parking and a wrap-around garden.

The property is approached via a paved pathway to the part-glazed front door that opens into a useful porch, ideal for boots and coats. A second part-glazed front door with beautiful leaded light windows above and on either side leads into the well-proportioned entrance hall with a wood floor. On the right is the stairs to the first floor, below which is a large storage space and a cupboard. On the left of the hall is the elegant double-aspect lounge room, which overlooks the front garden and has a lovely deep bay window through which flows plenty of light. Central to the room is an attractive feature fireplace fitted with a coal-effect gas fire with a decorative marble inset & surround. Adjacent is the sitting room, also with a bay window and a wall-mounted contemporary gas fire with a shelf above.

From the hall is the charming living /dining room which leads into the stunning extended integrated fitted kitchen complete with breakfast bar, which has a tiled floor and is fully-fitted. Skylights throw lots of light into the room and onto an extensive range of luxury wall, base and drawer units with white work surfaces and part-tiled walls above. Below the window is a single drainer stainless steel sink unit with a mixer tap while integrated appliances include a double oven with cupboards above and below, a gas hob with an extractor hood above, a dishwasher and a washing machine. There is also space for an American-style fridge/freezer and at one end are aluminium bi-fold doors leading out to the garden. The kicthen also benefits from under floor heating

Off the kitchen is the utility room, which has a range of wall and drawer units for additional storage, and a part-glazed door to the fully tiled shower room comprising a low-level WC, a wash hand basin with storage drawers below and a mirror-fronted bathroom cabinet above, and an enclosed shower cubicle with twin sliding glass doors.

The turned carpeted stairs with wood banisters lead to the split level first-floor landing where you will find access to three double bedrooms, a single bedroom and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a deep bay window and an en suite shower room, which is part-tiled and incorporates a low-level WC with a tall mirror-fronted cabinet adjacent, a large open-fronted shower cubicle, a wash hand basin inset into a marble effect topped vanity unity with cupboards and drawers below, and a wall-mounted bathroom cabinet above. The second bedroom has fitted wardrobes along one wall and a lovely bay window overlooking the front of the property, as does the single bedroom.

Up a few steps is a hallway leading to the fourth double bedroom and the impressive fully tiled family bathroom, which has a white suite incorporating a corner panelled bath with a central mixer tap and a wall-mounted shower attachment, a low-level WC and an inset wash hand basin with storage drawers below, which also has a large mirror-fronted bathroom cabinet above.

From the first-floor landing is the carpeted turned staircase with wood banisters to the second floor where you will find two double bedrooms and a shower room. Both bedrooms have wood floors, one has fitted wardrobes with Velux windows and under eaves storage space, and there is a large walk-in storage cupboard. The well-proportioned shower room is fully tiled with a low-level WC, a wash hand basin atop two deep storage drawers, a tall radiator and an open-fronted shower cubicle.

To the front of the property are decorative iron gates that open onto the paved pathway to the front door with gravel areas on either side. On the other corner of the property is access to the driveway, which provides off-road parking for one vehicle with the boundaries being a mix of wood fence panelling and hedges. A small terrace at the rear provides space for a table and chairs while the rest of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, and there is a good-sized wooden outbuilding (4m x 6m), with concrete base and tiled roof, offering lots of additional storage space.

Situated in Evington, a popular residential suburb with families, the property is about half a mile from Leicester city centre and nearby to a wide variety of local convenience shopping, like the Co-op on London Road, as well as pubs, cafes and eateries, including The Macaron & Cake Boutique and Chocoberry. There is also a range of leisure and sporting facilities. Leicester city centre provides a wider selection of shopping outlets, boutiques, restaurants, bars and cafes.

The property is ideally located for access to the mainline rail station, which provides services to London St Pancras in around an hour, and there is an excellent selection of private and state schools, as well as Leicester and De Montfort universities, all of which are within easy reach.
