Self-built to the owner’s exacting specifications 12 years ago, this fabulously spacious and comfortable four-bedroom detached family home exudes elegance and glamour.
From top-to-toe, This stunning house on Spencefield Lane has been carefully conceived and constructed, resulting in an enchanting home with more than a touch of class.
Situated in the highly desirable leafy suburb of Crown Hills, close to the pretty conservation area of Evington village, this enchanting house is a real winner. It has an enviably private location alongside the similar large detached properties found in the coveted LE5 postcode area.
The 2,765 sq ft house is light, bright and welcoming, resulting in a wonderful relaxed ambience. There is full gas central heating. There is also a 6 camera security CCTV system fitted to the outside of the house.
It offers oodles of well-designed space for enjoying family life while ensuring everyone has their own space within its generously-sized reception rooms, four double bedrooms – three of them en-suite – and it’s large, private garden with a super lawn ideal for children to play in safety. It’s easy to keep an eye on them from the kitchen/diner which, incidentally, is a real dazzler with family life revolving round the super-sleek central island and the dining area, which is flooded with light via a wide bay window which occupies one entire wall and gives views of the garden and trees beyond.
Another bonus is the amount of off-street parking – This House has space for up to six cars on its brick-paved drive in front of the integral double garage.
Crown Hills is a particularly lovely part of Leicester, enjoying the best of both worlds by being part of a leafy outer suburb – within a few miles of the lovely Leicestershire countryside - but enjoying ease of access into the city centre via the B667 in 12 minutes by car or 25 minutes by bus. Shops, supermarkets and an enviable collection of leisure options are nearby, while the tally of top-rated state primary and secondary schools would be hard to surpass.
This is truly a spectacular home and we’re sure you would like to learn more, so let’s take a closer look at what’s on offer.
Full of style and family-sized
With its chic red-brick exterior and first-floor dormer windows, this house certainly has plenty of kerb appeal. The double garage, with its duo of Grey doors, has space for car maintenance too with a large built-in storage cupboard and a big window, making it fairly simple to convert into another reception room/bedroom if this was desired– subject to the necessary planning permission, of course.
A paved path, alongside a curved lawn with a shrubbery border, leads to the front door which opens into the entrance hall. This is a truly elegant space that is large enough to showcase a few stylish pieces of furniture to create a chic first impression – enhanced by the attractive oak staircase. There is also a downstairs WC.
Timber internal doors lead into the reception rooms. To the left is the utility room which, at 12x8ft, is of good size and has a large built-in cupboard, fridge/freezer and loads of space for washing machine, tumble dryer and so on. A door to the back garden means that youngsters can dispense with muddy shoes in here, or damp dogs can be rubbed down, before entering the rest of house – very useful!
To the rear of the house, the magnificent kitchen/diner measures 29x18ft and is flooded with light via glazed French doors onto the garden and the wide bay window next to the dining area. In chic tones of dark Brown and Cream, the kitchen has cream Amtico floor tiles and is fitted with a superb array of designer units with 2 integral ovens, grill, warming drawer and microwave. It also contains a Quooker tap to provide boiling water at an instant and fresh filtered cold water alongside a tremendous central island which contains a ceramic hob and a large wine fridge. The island breakfast bar has space for a trio of bar stools – perfect for quick school-day breakfasts or for grabbing a coffee while browsing the papers.
The dining area of this superb room will accommodate a really large dining table and there is a trio of stylish pendant lights above where the table would sit.
It’s possible to make the entire ground floor of this house open-plan by opening the grand oak double doors into the cream-carpeted living room, another large and lovely space measuring 24x13ft, with French doors opening onto the rear garden. With so much room you are free to position your sofas and furniture as you wish and the neutral décor offers a desirable blank canvas. In cooler months, close the internal double doors to cocoon the living room in cosy warmth with the modern gas fireplace.
And so to bed . .
Climb the stairs to the softly carpeted first floor where you will immediately be struck by the wonderfully spacious landing – it’s practically a room on its own! It means there’s plenty of space to place, say, a chaise longue under the window and create a cosy nook for a quiet read or snooze.
The first floor is chalet-style, meaning that all the upstairs rooms have dormer windows set into curved walls, adding extra character to their appearance.
All four bedrooms are of extremely generous proportions and are all doubles. The master bedroom, 13x16ft, overlooks the front garden and has the benefit of air conditioning. It has a spacious en-suite bathroom with a large walk-in shower and twin wash basins under the window.
Bedroom three also has an en-suite shower room, as does bedroom two which is located above the garage and has a vaulted ceiling and a large built-in wardrobe. There are a couple of steps down from the landing to this large and lovely room measuring 20x18ft.
If luxury bathrooms are your desire, then the family bathroom will definitely float your boat! It’s dominated by a beautiful freestanding cream stone bath tub filled via a waterfall tap in a feature column. The same wood is used in the vanity unit which contains twin designer wash basins, and there’s a fabulous walk-in shower too.
A delightful garden
The garden more than emulates the interior delights of this fabulous family home, offering plenty of space for children to run and play, or for grown-ups to entertain on the rear paved patio. A gazebo at the end of the lawn catches the last rays of sunshine at the end of the day and privacy is assured with trees, shrubs, and timber fencing.
If your green fingers are itching to get creative, this garden is pretty much a blank canvas and could be enhanced with flower borders, vegetable garden, play equipment – even a swimming pool!
On your doorstep
It’s a pleasure to get out and about in this green and pleasant suburb of the city, and there’s so much to see and do. Nearby Evington village, with its period houses clustered around a green, has shops offering the everyday essentials plus a couple of good foodie pubs – The Cedars and The Dove pub & kitchen.
There’s a leisure centre with two swimming pools and you can walk for miles around 44 acres of gorgeous parkland at Evington Park. Leicestershire Golf Club is in Evington too.
The village’s annual fete and show is a popular annual get-together and the bi-monthly village newspaper, The Evington Echo, with nearly 6,000 avid readers, this year celebrates its 40th anniversary.
Education is, of course, a priority for young families, and Crown Hills and the LE5 postcode area is a number one choice due to the sheer number of excellent state schools. Nearby state primary schools include Linden and Whitehall, Ofsted-rated outstanding, and state secondary schools, Manor High School and Sir Jonathan North College, are also rated outstanding. All Ofsted-rated good are the nearby primaries St Luke’s ce, Mayflower, Evington Valley, Coleman and Krishna Avanti, as are St Paul’s Catholic and the Madani secondary schools. Private schooling includes the highly rated Leicester High School for Girls, Leicester Grammar School, Stoneygate School, Leicester Prep and St Crispin’s.
Road access to the city centre is simple and quick, and 49a Spencefield Lane is particularly close to Leicester General Hospital - so it would be ideal for those who work there. Leicester and South Wigston train stations are within a few miles and bus links are excellent
