Sodhis are delighted to announce that this exceptionally spacious and highly versatile property on Downing Drive, Evington, is now officially on the market.

Offering an impressive seven/eight bedrooms and a generous amount of living space, this substantial property represents an exciting opportunity for large families, multi-generational households, investors and developers seeking a distinctive home in a well-established Leicester location.

The accommodation includes three reception rooms, providing excellent flexibility for both everyday family life and entertaining. These rooms could be arranged as formal and informal lounges, a dining room, home office, children’s playroom or additional living space, depending on the requirements of the new owner.

One of the property’s standout features is its dedicated cinema room-the perfect setting for family film nights, sporting events and entertaining guests. The home also benefits from a very large kitchen, creating an impressive central space for cooking, dining and socialising.

With seven/eight bedrooms, the layout offers considerable flexibility. The rooms could be used as bedrooms, guest accommodation, dressing rooms, study areas or private workspaces. This makes the property particularly well suited to a large or extended family looking for space to live comfortably under one roof.

To the rear of the property is a brick-built annexe, providing additional space and further possibilities. Subject to any necessary consents, the annexe could potentially be used for extended family members, guests, a home office, leisure space or other suitable purposes.

The property also enjoys a private rear garden, offering a valuable outdoor area for relaxing, entertaining and spending time with family and friends.

In addition to being an impressive family residence, the property may offer significant investment and development potential. Its substantial size, flexible layout and number of rooms could make it suitable for a range of alternative uses, including:

A House in Multiple Occupation (HMO)

Airbnb or short-term accommodation

Serviced accommodation

A hotel or guest house

A residential care home

Supported-living accommodation

Multi-generational family accommodation

A home-and-business arrangement

All potential conversions, changes of use and commercial operations would be strictly subject to the required planning permission, licensing, building regulations, fire-safety standards and all other statutory approvals.

Whether you are searching for a large family home, accommodation for several generations or a property with exciting future potential, this outstanding opportunity on Downing Drive deserves serious consideration.
