St. Philips Road, Evington, Leicester, LE5

This exquisite Edwardian home on St. Philips Road is a rare opportunity to purchase a truly unique and beautifully presented family house. Spread over three generous floors and filled with original character, it blends period charm with bold interiors, high ceilings and a warm, inviting feel from the moment you step inside.

Stepping through the vibrant front door, the entrance hall immediately captures the home’s Edwardian heritage. Original geometric tiles, stripped wooden doors and exposed floorboards set a warm, authentic tone that continues throughout the house.

To the right, the first reception room is an impressive space with generous proportions, an original fireplace and a striking bay window that fills the room with natural light. Moving along the hallway, a well-placed WC sits to one side before the ground floor opens into a bright, expansive kitchen and dining area. This is the heart of the home, thoughtfully designed with ample cabinetry, a feature range cooker, wooden worktops and a wide view toward the garden. The open fire adds atmosphere, and large folding doors connect seamlessly to the patio, making the garden feel like a natural extension of the room.

The garden itself is outstanding in size and design. With a southwest-facing aspect, it enjoys sun throughout most of the day. Mature planting, winding pathways and multiple seating spots create a peaceful setting, while the summer house and rear access to the garage add further practical value.

On the first floor, the sense of scale continues. To the left sits a remarkably spacious double bedroom mirroring the footprint of the living room below. Two further double bedrooms offer flexibility, one benefiting from its own dressing room and ensuite. The centrally located family bathroom includes a bath, separate shower and WC. Most fireplaces across the home, all but one remain original, and all chimneys have been swept within the past two years.

The top floor provides two additional double rooms enriched by the characterful roofline. Both enjoy excellent natural light, and under-eaves storage is plentiful throughout this level. The layout also leaves scope to introduce another bathroom, subject to requirements.

This is a home of depth, warmth and period charm, carefully looked after and sensitively enhanced. Its combination of original features, generous room sizes and a superb garden setting makes it a rare opportunity in a highly sought-after location.
