Outside - .
Lying behind a mature hedge, the delightful front garden has been beautifully landscaped with a large gravelled area, a path leading to the front door, neatly trimmed shrubbery and hedges to both sides. There is scope to use part of the front garden for additional car standing subject to the usual consent.
Pedestrian access leads down the side of the house to the rear. The charming cottage style rear garden has been skilfully hard-landscaped and lovingly maintained with a patio to the rear of the house, gravelled seating areas, raised flower beds and mature well-stocked borders and specimen trees providing a high level of privacy from neighbouring properties. At the bottom of the garden, there is a concrete sectional garage with parking beyond, accessed via a vehicular service road.
The Area - .
Originally a small East Leicestershire village dating back to the 11th century, Evington became part of the city during the 1930’s as Leicester’s boundaries expanded. Still very much enjoying a village feel, the area centred around Main Street enjoys conservation status and has a village green with a children’s play area and still hosts the annual village fete. There are also 2 main shopping areas, a library and Village Hall and schooling for children of all ages.
Places of worship include a Baptist chapel on the edge of the village green, dating back to the 1800’s. The Parish Church of St Denys which is thought to date back in part some 800 years and the Masjid Umar Mosque which opened in 2000.
Leisure facilities include; the Evington Leisure Centre, The Arboretum, Evington Park, 44 acres of parkland with sports pitches and tennis courts and The Leicestershire Golf Club. The area remains very popular today with local buyers and those from further afields due in part to its proximity to the city centre, its professional quarters, the mainline railway station (approx. 1 hour from London St.Pancras) and the road links.
