Draft:Evington House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Evington House, originally Evington Villa, is a historical house in Evington, Leicester, England from the 17th century with extensive modifications in the 19th and 20th centuries. A timber framed 17th-century wing was retained with a much larger brick addition in the early 19th century for Arthur Brooke Faulkner it features timber framing with brick infill, Gothic-influenced windows, and picturesque gables. The house includes a main block and an 'L'-shaped wing, with an entrance hall and rooms featuring ornate plasterwork.[1] Significant extensions were made in the 1830s, including a brick addition described in 1847 as an "Italian villa"[2] and further changes occurred around 1900 and later.
