Uppingham Road, Evington, LE5

Set well back from the road, this distinguished four-bedroom detached home reveals itself slowly, framed by its generous frontage and the soft greenery of mature planting. Marrying the solidity of traditional construction with refined contemporary finishes, it unfolds across a series of light-filled spaces, culminating in a thoughtfully designed one-bedroom annexe, ideal for extended family, independent living, or a private studio.

A handsome front door opens to a porch and wide hallway, where original timber floors set a warm and timeless tone. From here, the house invites exploration: the formal dining room is poised for convivial gatherings, its bay window drawing in morning light, while the adjoining living room is anchored by a classic cast-iron fireplace. Glazed bi-fold doors connect the living spaces, bathed in light and offering views across the expansive lawn. At the heart of the home, the breakfast kitchen blends clean-lined cabinetry with rich textural detail — a range cooker, stone-effect tiles, and a breakfast bar for casual suppers, opening into a breakfast room that spills out to the garden through French doors. A large utility and storage space ensures daily life runs smoothly, discreetly housing appliances and additional workspace. A well appointed garden room is wonderfully bright and airy, furthering the accommodation on the ground-floor. The annexe is a triumph of versatility, with its own entrance, a private sitting room that opens onto a deck, a compact and well-appointed kitchen, a large bedroom, and a wet room, all perfectly suited to guests, relatives, or even creative work that demands separation from the main household. Upstairs, the bedrooms are generously proportioned, each thoughtfully oriented to capture the shifting light throughout the day. The principal bedroom enjoys green views to the rear, while the second is graced with a wide bay window. The bathroom, finished with a corner bath and subtle tiling, feels indulgent without excess.

The garden, unusually deep for the area, is a sanctuary. Two broad stretches of lawn are softened by mature trees, shrubs, and seasonal planting, while a stone terrace provides the ideal spot for summer dining. A greenhouse and shed are tucked away, alongside practical touches such as an outside tap and discreet storage whilst offering incredible scope for remodelling and further extension.

Situated on arguably one of Evington’s most sought after roads and with the potential to be offered with no upwards chain, an early viewing is essential to truly appreciate the versatility the home has to offer.
