30, Leicester Road, Hinckley, LE10 1LS

The Corner House at 30 Leicester Road is an authentic Arts and Crafts landmark, constructed in 1910 and influenced by the design philosophy of Edwin Lutyens.

Appearing on the open market for only the second time in over seventy years, this is an exceptional generational family home steeped in local prominence, having historically served as a community medical practice until 1977.

Set back behind established boundaries where Leicester Road converges with Spa Lane, the residence balances immediate town access with the privacy, proportion, and quiet atmosphere of an English country retreat.

When the current owners undertook the restoration of the property, no expense was spared in executing an exacting philosophy: wherever an original period feature remained, it was meticulously restored rather than replaced.

This attention to detail extends from the authentic architectural fabric right down to the original servants' bell system, manufactured locally over a century ago by Parsons & Sherwin of Hinckley, which has been fully rewired and remains in complete working order today alongside the historic exterior doctor’s night and day bells.

The living accommodation balances this restored period craftsmanship with comprehensive 21st-century comfort.

The ground floor opens from a central entrance vestibule into an expansive reception hall, branching into a succession of formal and everyday spaces including a drawing room, a formal living room anchored by an inglenook fireplace with a Clearview stove, a dedicated study, and a traditional parlour.

Daily life centres around the open-plan dining kitchen, fitted with solid granite surfaces, a classic three-oven gas Aga, and integrated Miele appliances, accompanied by the functioning bell indicator board.

A glazed orangery brings garden views directly into the home, while dedicated leisure spaces include an integrated home cinema room, a home gymnasium with a steam shower, and a dry cellar.

Everyday comfort is underpinned by advanced modern infrastructure seamlessly incorporated into the historic framework.

A 26-radiator central heating system is paired with underfloor heating through the kitchen, orangery, cinema room, and parlour, all controlled on a room-by-room basis via automated systems, voice commands, or mobile devices.

Integrated home automation further coordinates ambient lighting, window blinds, external gates, and garden water features.

The layout maintains its authentic dual-circulation design, featuring both the principal staircase and the original secondary staff staircase leading to the first floor.

The upper floor accommodates six/seven bedrooms arranged around a central landing, providing versatile space for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.

The primary bedroom suite benefits from private en-suite facilities, mirrored by a guest suite complete with a walk-in wardrobe and adjoining shower room.

The remaining five bedrooms are served by an expansive family bathroom fitted with a twin steam shower and separate cloakroom.

Occupying an established plot with mature gardens enclosing all four sides, the exterior provides extensive privacy with established lawns, deep shrub borders, and stone terracing.

Double automated electric gates open to a substantial private driveway with parking for multiple vehicles.

Set within the grounds is the original two-storey detached coach house, complete with preserved 1910 features including original horse feeding troughs and grain hoppers.

Offering garaging for three to four vehicles alongside extensive workshop and first-floor studio space, the coach house presents immediate versatility as a self-contained annex, home business premises, or creative studio, subject to the necessary consents.

The location places every convenience within comfortable walking distance.

Hinckley town centre, the Concordia Theatre, independent cafes, and The Crescent shopping and leisure development are all close by, alongside well-regarded primary, secondary, and sixth-form educational institutions including North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College.

Hinckley railway station is within walking distance for direct rail access to Birmingham and Leicester, while the nearby A5, M69, and M1 link the property seamlessly to major regional centres.
