A significantly large and fully renovated detached home occupying a generous plot in a highly sought after residential location in Evington, bordering Stoneygate. The property has been the subject of improvement works over the last seven years by the current owners, including a new roof, new boiler, replacement windows throughout, and the addition of French doors to the rear. With over 1,750 square feet of internal living and a large double garage, the house offers extensive living space that remains versatile for growing families and those seeking long-term flexibility. Internally, the property has been modernised throughout with tasteful décor and original features retained, including solid oak flooring to parts of the ground floor.

The layout on the ground floor begins with a spacious porch and welcoming entrance hall that sets the tone for the proportions of the rest of the home. A WC is located off the hallway, and there is access through to a bright and spacious living room at the front of the house, measuring nearly eighteen feet in length, with a bay window and feature fireplace. A separate dining room sits behind the living room and leads into a airy conservatory overlooking the garden. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of solid wood units, tiled splashbacks, and a freestanding range cooker, with space for additional appliances.

From the kitchen, a side door leads into a utility room and on to the rear garden. There is gated side access from the garden that leads directly into the double garage, which is not accessed internally but via an external path beside the kitchen. This configuration provides excellent storage and scope for future conversion if required.

Upstairs, the living includes four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom overlooks the rear garden and features a full wall of fitted wardrobes. Two further double bedrooms and a single bedroom are accessed off the central landing, along with shared access to a bathroom fitted with a corner bath and shower, and a separate WC.

The property is set back from the road behind a wide frontage with a lawned garden and a generous private driveway that comfortably accommodates multiple vehicles. The driveway leads directly to the double garage and is flanked by mature hedging that offers a good degree of privacy from the street. To the rear, the garden is a particularly notable feature of the home. It is beautifully established and offers exceptional privacy, with deep planted borders, lawned areas and a large raised stone-edged patio ideal for outdoor use. A distinctive mature willow tree provides a natural canopy and focal point at the foot of the garden, and the whole outdoor space is well enclosed with timber fencing and mature greenery. The garden enjoys an open westerly aspect and offers excellent potential for further landscaping or rear extension works, subject to relevant permissions.
