Description
Part of the Hinckley landscape for over a 100 years since its construction in 1910. One of Hinckley’s most prominent landmarks, the iconic Corner House sits at the point where Leicester road and Spa Lane converge. Built at the peak of the Arts and Craft period taking many influences from this influential time. Externally the design reflects the pre eminent Architect and Designer of the day, Edwin Lutyens. The Corner house sits on a large plot with a wonderfully private garden that has had more than a 100 years to mature into the classic English country garden we see today. Benefitting from a substantial Coach house to rear, that offers numerous options and could easily be converted from its present use as a quadruple garage and workshop, into a large separate Guest house. So much of the original features have been lovingly curated to preserve the grandeur of this wonderful historic family home whilst carefully guiding the home into the 21st century, adding under floor heating, a fabulous bespoke kitchen, additional bathroom suites and home automation.

Location
Hinckley is a town that has been thriving since Saxon times and was already a major town by the time its recorded in the doomsday book. Over its long history this area has experienced two notable boom periods the first began in Victorian England with the rise of the hosiery industry with Hinckley being the centre of excellence for the whole country. We are living in the second golden age with the new multi million pound Crescent development, Leisure Centre and much more besides ensuring Hinckley is the place to be for the next century at least. This property lies close to the centre of Hinckley benefitting from a host of local amenities including local theatre (The Concordia) leading supermarkets, hair and beauty parlours, restaurants and served by a number of sought after schools (according to the latest league tables) train and bus stations are all within walking distance.
Our View
The Arts and Crafts movement was a late 19th-century design reform movement, originating in Britain as a reaction against industrialization and mass production. Advocating for traditional craftsmanship, natural materials, and social reform, it championed simple forms and decorative arts. Led by figures like William Morris, John Ruskin and Edwin Lutyens etc, it championed the idea that goods should be both beautiful and functional. This wonderful home embodies these principles to the letter and those seeking the very finest that Hinckley has to offer need look no further than the magnificent Corner House. Marketed for only the second time in 74 years, this is an extraordinarily rare opportunity to acquire this truly remarkable home.
