An Exceptional Edwardian Residence with Self Contained Annexe in One of Western Park's Most Desirable Settings
Offered to the market with no onward chain and having accommodation in excess of 3,400ft², this distinguished Edwardian residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained family home of considerable character and size, complemented by a fully self-contained one-bedroom annexe and an overall plot approaching one third of an acre.
Dating from the 1920s, the property effortlessly combines timeless period architecture with generous, versatile living spaces designed for modern family life. Original features have been carefully preserved throughout, creating a home rich in heritage while offering the comfort and practicality expected today.
A welcoming entrance hall, complete with striking original Minton tiled flooring, sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. The ground floor offers an elegant bay-fronted sitting room, a spacious dual-aspect family lounge centred around a characterful multi-fuel stove, and a bright garden room providing an effortless connection to the beautifully landscaped rear gardens. The breakfast kitchen is well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, with ample storage, generous work surfaces and a traditional walk-in pantry.
The first floor is centred around an impressive galleried landing illuminated by a beautiful stained-glass window. Four generously sized bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for growing families, while the principal bathroom features both a separate shower and bath, complemented by an independent WC.
Outside, the gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's defining features. Backing onto The Spinney, they provide a wonderfully private setting with expansive lawns, mature trees, established planting, multiple terraces and seating areas, a productive vegetable garden and a summerhouse, creating an idyllic environment for entertaining, relaxing and family life.
There is an integral garage in addition to a substantial tandem garage capable of accommodating two vehicles, driveway parking, covered side access and useful storage and utility spaces.
The attached self-contained annexe offers exceptional flexibility. Complete with its own entrance, living room, kitchen, shower room and double bedroom, it is ideally suited for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, independent teenagers, or those seeking dedicated home office space with complete separation from the main house.
Situated within the highly regarded Western Park district, the property enjoys a superb balance of peaceful residential living and everyday convenience. Local shops, reputable schools, parks and regular transport links are all within easy reach, while Leicester city centre and Fosse Park provide an extensive range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities. Excellent road connections via the M1 and M69, together with direct rail services to London St Pancras, make the location particularly attractive for commuters.
In conclusion, this is a home of genuine distinction, combining architectural character, generous proportions and remarkable versatility in one of Leicester's most established residential addresses.
