Occupying an elevated position on one of Harrow-on-the-Hill’s most prestigious private roads, The Oaks & The Sheiling is a substantial late Victorian residence dating back to 1884, originally designed by the renowned architect Robert “Bungalow” Briggs. Set within a peaceful, no-through road and surrounded by similarly distinguished homes, the property offers a rare combination of historical significance, generous proportions and exceptional future potential. The property is believed to have once been home to Sir Frank Whittle, the pioneering inventor of the jet engine, during the 20th century. Held within the same family for over 50 years, the home has been carefully maintained and adapted during their ownership, with improvements undertaken several decades ago to suit family life at the time. Today, the property would benefit from modernisation, presenting a compelling opportunity for an incoming purchaser to either sensitively restore and enhance the original Victorian character or consider a more comprehensive redevelopment, subject to the necessary permissions. Notably, the property is not listed, offering greater flexibility for those looking to reconfigure or rebuild entirely. The accommodation is currently arranged as two substantial, self-contained residences—The Oaks, the principal house and The Sheiling, originally created as servant quarters—providing inherent versatility for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or potential re-integration into a single, impressive dwelling. Architecturally, both elements remain highly attractive, with The Oaks distinguished by its stonework and The Sheiling recognised by its gables and tile-hung elevations, each enjoying excellent privacy and far-reaching views. Internally, a wealth of original features remain in place, including oak panelling, fireplaces, leaded light windows and traditional bay elevations, all offering a strong foundation for restoration. The existing layout reflects the needs of a previous era, with later alterations—such as the opening up of the kitchen space to create a larger family area—now offering scope for further enhancement in line with modern expectations. The grounds are a particular highlight, with mature gardens surrounding the home and a charming private orchard situated to the rear, which is included within the sale. Offering a rare sense of space and tranquillity, the orchard provides a wonderful extension of the garden and an opportunity to create a secluded outdoor retreat, productive kitchen garden or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The property also benefits from a substantial garage and generous off-street parking. The location is particularly attractive for families, with the world-renowned Harrow School just moments away, alongside a wide selection of highly regarded local schools. St Dominic's Sixth Form College is also within easy walking distance. Excellent transport links are provided by both Harrow-on-the-Hill (Metropolitan Line) and South Harrow (Piccadilly Line) stations, offering convenient access into Central London. Opportunities of this nature are increasingly rare—offering scale, character and, crucially, the flexibility to create a truly bespoke home in one of the area’s most sought-after locations. Whether restoring its original charm or pursuing a more contemporary vision, The Oaks & The Sheiling represents a unique chance to unlock significant long-term value.

Formerly known as Orchardway, this distinguished residence was originally conceived and occupied by W. S. Grice, the celebrated 20th-century British architect renowned for his Modernist and Art Deco influence. The house was featured in the May 1932 edition of Town and Country Homes, where its design was praised for its charm, airiness and practicality, with an emphasis on light, brightness and an inherent sense of cheerfulness. In more recent years, the current owners have thoughtfully extended and enhanced the property, creating a superb family home now arranged over three well-proportioned floors. The ground floor is centred around an impressive 38-foot, full-width kitchen, dining and family room, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the two elegant bay windows and the desirable south-westerly aspect. The bespoke kitchen, complete with a central island and breakfast bar, flows seamlessly into a further, separate reception room, ideal for more formal entertaining or relaxed evenings. Also on the ground floor, the entrance hall provides access to a cloakroom/WC, a versatile study or ground-floor bedroom, and a substantial workshop and storage area, formerly the garage, offering excellent flexibility for modern family living. The upper floors provide generous and adaptable accommodation, comprising four double bedrooms, including a principal suite with en-suite shower room, two further bathrooms, a fifth bedroom, and an additional study which could alternatively serve as a dressing room or nursery. To the front, a sweeping carriage driveway offers off-street parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by a secure side gate providing access to the rear garden. The south-westerly facing garden is a particular highlight, beautifully landscaped with patio and lawned areas, and directly accessible from the rear reception room—perfect for both entertaining and family enjoyment.

***Open House 10th October 1pm onwards. By appointment only.*** The Barn & Contemporary Architectural Pods Hidden down a tranquil country lane on the pastoral rural fringes of Tadley, The Barn stands as an extraordinary piece of English architectural history. This spectacular Grade II Listed Barn, a monumental timber-framed building completely re-thatched to very high standards. In a masterclass of structural engineering and contemporary design, the building has undergone a comprehensive, top-tier renovation to prepare it for a luxury lifestyle role. Full planning permission to finish the conversion is in place. The entire interior shell is being completely insulated, plastered, and painted, to create a single, jaw-dropping open-plan volume that celebrates the historic, soaring oak tie-beams that likely came from decommissioned ships. The conversion has been undertaken using the principles of passive house design, and the finished building will be highly insulated, airtight, and benefit from mechanical heating and ventilation estimated to require just 2.8 kw to heat in winter and 2.2 KW to cool in summer. To honour the building's strict listed status, the interior plans will utilise a highly innovative, ultra-modern architectural technique. Two entirely self-contained, freestanding living pods can be positioned at opposite ends of the vast floor plan. Because they do not attach to the historic timber frame or walls in any way, they comply perfectly with preservation orders while injecting a sharp, high-end contemporary aesthetic. Each independent pod would function as a luxury residential wing, housing two double bedrooms, two high-specification bathrooms, and provide an inviting mezzanine snug open to the rafters. This design leaves the massive central vault of the barn completely open as a dramatic, double-height entertaining kitchen, lounge and gallery. This spectacular architectural asset will be sold as seen and there are master craftsmen currently in situ and willing to continue to completion. The barn could offer the ultimate setup for an independent guest house, multi-generational living, event space, or an elite home wellness and business headquarters.

What the Owner says: 'We bought this property from new some 30 years ago as we loved this particular house and also the surroundings which, were designed to reflect the character of a traditional English village, with individually styled homes arranged around landscaped greens and communal spaces, creating a unique and established setting. Also, as it is in a cul-de-sac and a gated community, it is very secure, as well as being safe for children and pets. The security aspect has been particularly important as we are often away so it can be of benefit to those with a lock-up-and-go lifestyle. It is also great to be so close to the 6000 acres of Epping Forest where we can go for walks or cycle rides and feel we are in the country, yet we are not far from the centre of the town. Loughton is a charming town with plenty of pubs, restaurants and independent shops as well as sports and entertainment including golf courses and the Loughton Leisure Centre with an indoor swimming pool. There is a wide selection of schools in the area including Hereward Primary and Debden Park High School, both rated Outstanding by Ofsted, as well as good independent schools. The town is on the Underground's Central Line that can whisk you to Stratford in 20 minutes and Liverpool Street in about half an hour, so is ideal for commuters wanting to travel to the City or the West End. As far as road travel is concerned it is only a short distance to the M11 for the M25 as well as access to Stansted, Heathrow and Cambridge.'

In total, it has six bedrooms, a spacious open plan living area, gymnasium, triple garage and glass sided balcony, equipped with graphite pergolas below. By reconfiguring and adding to the existing structure, open space and versatility have been created in abundance within half an acre of grounds that overlook beautiful open farmland and countryside. This is an exclusively designed modern home. Welcoming The driveway is generously proportioned and easily provides parking for up to ten cars. There is a pond with waterfall feature at the front of the building and well maintained landscaped gardens consisting of lawn, trees and shrubbery. The triple garage is cedar clad and has been deliberately personalized to coordinate with the main house, featuring pent roof and four automated doors. Once inside, the hallway captures the essence of the interior design; it is light filled and spacious, with subtle lighting fixtures, minimal decoration and natural textures. The floor is covered with large white gloss porcelain tiles: they run throughout the hallway and into the large bedrooms found via a glass extension on the left. The tongue and groove doors in the property are made from medium oak wood, accessorised with brushed steel furniture, and coordinate with the staircase/steps that lead from the hall into the wonderful living space beyond. Contemporary design for relaxation and comfort Here, there is a combination of lounge, dining room and kitchen. There are areas demarcated for specific purposes with the use of furniture or fixtures but the generous proportion of the living space, plus the views that surround it into the garden and beyond, create an exceptionally light and relaxing room that is the geographical heart of the home. Travertine flooring is used throughout the living space and a bespoke feature wall of cedar cladding creates a perfect place to view a wide screen television for the lounge area. Directly above, there is one of two hidden entrances into the loft space, which has lighting, insulation and is boarded. A log burner has been positioned diagonally in the furthest corner of the living space – there is a covered cedar porch with log store close by - opposite to the open kitchen. The whole space is beautifully neutral and distinctively unique, with an easy relaxed vibe for everyday needs but with the capability for larger scale entertaining. The kitchen has three pairs of sliding anthracite doors. Two of them open onto the wide balcony. The covered balcony offers a fantastic extension to the living area and is decked with wood grain anthracite composite flooring. Here, purpose placed opaque glass affords privacy when using the hot tub, while the three metre by seven metre graphite pergolas can be opened or closed to suit. Within the bespoke kitchen, there is a sweep of worktop with space for double integrated appliances in cabinetry that is both practical and very fitting in this open plan arrangement of rooms. Stools fit neatly into one of the work surfaces and a steel extractor fan is ceiling hung from above the convection hob. The double ovens and dishwasher are included in the sale of the property. The dining area is at the side of the kitchen. Here there are two cabin windowed doors opening into a store on the left and a landing on the right. The landing leads to a staircase dropping to the rooms on the lowest level. The utility is below the kitchen – reached by going down the staircase – it is similarly fitted for storage, has an additional sink and provides plumbing for laundry appliances. There is also a pantry next door and the internal door to the snug. The snug is entered along a hall from the staircase and double doors opening onto the front of the property. The snug provides a wonderful addition to the home. Remember…there are six bedrooms From the original point of entry, instead of ascending the stairs to the living area, the bedrooms are on the opposite side on ground level. From the hall there are doors to two bedrooms at the front of the building and another at the rear. Presently, two of them are being used as separate studies. A family bathroom with separate toilet and basin are across the hall. Lastly, a fourth bedroom that has its own en-suite and doors that open into the garden. Another L shaped bedroom at the opposite end of the hall has a 4.5 metre window overlooking the front of the property. It is a spacious room and is fitted with mirrored wardrobes. The master suite of rooms making up the prime bedroom is at the furthest wing of the property. The extensive minimalist bedroom has windows on three sides and one with an electrically operated blind that stretches across the 4.5 metres of glass that looks into the garden and beyond. This prime suite has a bespoke dressing room with skylights, for him and her, and a designer minimalist en-suite by Lisa Melvin entitled ‘Rock Star’. This was featured in an edition of the Utopia kitchen and bathroom magazine and has a Hudson Reed wall-hung vanity unit with double basin, drawers and a three-panelled mirrored cabinet. There is a 3.6 ‘Dreamwall’ component behind the Waters Brook2 freestanding white bath and a supersize walk through rainfall shower, fitted with a Hansgrohe dance shower system and silver moon mosaic floor tiles. Graphite porcelain tiles are used elsewhere. The chrome finish radiator and towel warmer is made by Bisque and on skirting board level, the blue toned lighting reacts automatically with movement sensors. All fixtures and fittings in all the bathing areas of this Home have been tastefully selected for their contemporary design and fitted to high specifications. They all impress with the continuing theme of natural materials, a neutral palette and stunning attention to detail. Outside in the rear garden, a cedar clad summer house continues with the appearance of the house. There are landscaped gardens to enjoy and ever-changing, seasonal views looking out to open countryside. In all aspects tis impressive home undeniably fulfils the definition of exceptional: superior, superb and completely out of the ordinary,’ South Kilworth is a village in central England, a region referred to as the East Midlands. It is situated towards the southernmost extremity of Leicestershire being only a half hour drive from Leicester’s city centre. It is in the LE17 postcode district and is a civil parish. It falls within the district council of Harborough and is within easy reach of larger towns such as Lutterworth, Husbands Bosworth and Rugby, all providing a variety of amenities such as edge of town super stores or uniquely bespoke shops. Essentially, South Kilworth is geographically at the centre of an intersection of routes. The North Road takes you to North Kilworth and heading south on the Kilworth Road will lead to Welford. Heading south-west or north-west, will incur meeting the M1 at junctions 19 and 20, Rugby and Lutterworth respectively. From those points the M6 and M69 maximise the potential for speedier travel by road from this central Midland location. There are two railway stations within easy reach at Rugby and Market Harborough, with regular high speed trains to London Euston and St. Pancras taking a little over one hour. The nearest airports are East Midlands, Birmingham and Coventry. In times past, the Domesday Book of 1086 records a settlement known then as Cleveliord which many believe is referring to South Kilworth as it could mean hedged enclosure. There have been settlements in the vicinity since prehistoric times with later evidence pertaining to Roman, Anglo Saxon and mediaeval periods. The village was certainly established before the Norman Conquest, with a manor and farming community. There remains evidence of forridge and furrow cultivation in fields bordering the village. The church of St Nicholas is twelfth century in part but holds a clock tower installed as a memorial to the men of the locality who died fighting in the 1914-18 war. There are a number of historic houses in the village along the Welford and Walcote Roads dating from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Today, the village hall located on Leys Crescent is the centre for many social activities, events and clubs. It has extensive sports pitches, a children’s playground, adult fitness equipment and a bowling green. As with many communities, people are interested to share points of communal interest and the South Kilworth monthly newsletter will be a good starting point for those new to the area. An excellent village website produced by the parish council also contains a wealth of information. www.southkilworth.co.uk There are several public houses and restaurants in or close by to South Kilworth: The White Hart, The Attic, White Lion or Black Horse to name a few. These serve locally produced food and ales. There is easy access to wider open spaces, with nature reserves and bridal paths within easy reach. Kilworth Springs Golf Club, Kilworth House Hotel and the Outdoor Theatre attract people to the vicinity, as does the North Kilworth Marina. Golf courses and equestrian centres are easily reached by car. There is a local primary school, South Kilworth Primary School but over a wider area there are several educational options; nursery, primary and secondary. South Kilworth is in the catchment area for the Rugby (Warwickshire) Grammar Schools. Other schools include the Rugby School, Leicester Grammar, Princethorpe and Oakham. There are also private establishments in the county offering bordering facilities.

Seller Insight Viola has been our home since 2012, and from the very beginning, it's been something truly special. We built this house ourselves with a dream of creating the perfect family home, and over the years, it has become exactly that and more. What first drew us here was the location. As you turn down the private road, there's an immediate sense of calm, it feels like stepping into another world, far removed from the noise and busyness of everyday life. That feeling has never faded. Because we built the house, we were able to create a space that perfectly balances family living with entertaining. We didn't cut corners when it came to comfort, and every detail has been thoughtfully considered. It's a home that feels luxurious, yet completely practical too. Features like the internal laundry chute have made everyday life that little bit easier. We've taken great care of the house over the years, and it's something we're really proud of. The kitchen is without a doubt our favourite room. It's the heart of the home - somewhere we can cook and spend time together while entertaining. In the summer, opening the doors creates a seamless flow into the garden, while in the colder months it still feels warm and cosy. It's a space that just works, no matter the season. The garden was always central to our vision. With its large wraparound patio, it's peaceful and private - a real escape. It's been the perfect place for long summer days and evenings, with the TV, sound system, and outdoor lighting creating a lovely indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This has always been a home made for entertaining and bringing people together. From movie nights in the cinema room when the children were younger, to hosting Christmas with family returning year after year, it's a house full of life and memories. There's plenty of space for everyone, so it never feels crowded- just warm and welcoming. The community here is something quite rare. It's quiet and private, yet always supportive when it matters, it's a lovely balance of seclusion and connection that's hard to find. What we'll miss most is the love, care, and thought that went into building this home. It's more than just a house to us - it's been a huge part of our lives, and leaving it won't be easy. We're moving to be closer to family, and we know it's the right time. We truly hope the next family will love this home as much as we have.

Calm and imposing Along Nock Verges, in the charming Leicestershire village of Stoney Stanton, The Old Rectory is tucked away from passing traffic by being located off a cul-de-sac. It is within the boundaries of a walled garden, boarded by mature trees, flower beds and lawn. Originally designed in the 19th century by renowned architect Henry Goddard, this impressive Victorian period property has quintessentially English country house characteristics and as its name suggests, has been intrinsically linked to the history of the similarly Grade II listed parish church, St Michael’s. It has been carefully maintained to retain its distinctly traditional place in the heart of the village and was once the home of a former Chancellor to the Exchequer. The Old Rectory is an imposing listed residence while being eminently a wonderful family home. This is a sumptuous house of quality and stature, which richly complements its surroundings and is within walking distance of the many local amenities that enrich the experience of living in such a central location. Here, we have a beautifully positioned detached property with six generous bedrooms - one with en-suite facilities – set amidst its private plot measuring .69 of an acre, with established and landscaped grounds. Its striking silhouette is outlined with twin-flue end chimney stacks and intersecting hip and valley rooves, while classically proportioned sash style windows headed by gables present a grand, bespoke property of size and refinement. Filled with beautiful features from its date of original construction, on the ground floor level there are four reception rooms: a study, lounge, dining room and old school room. To the rear of the house, a large breakfast kitchen is complimented with a utility room. The original open-string staircase leading from the adjoining reception hall, ascends to the first-floor landing, bedrooms and bathing facilities: a family bathroom with separate toilet and a Jack and Jill bathroom. The property has gardens carefully planted to create privacy, described by the present owners as an ‘oasis’. Within the grounds there are separate buildings; stables, stores and the old coach house. Vehicular or equine entrances There are two entrances. From Nock Verges, entry to the property is through large wrought iron gates and over cobbles that sweep towards the house along a shingled driveway leading to a large area for turning or parking. It is lined with planted beds of mature shrubs, hedges and bordering lawned sections of the grounds, where stately trees create an impression of permanence and classical style. A second entrance is from Church Lane, and double wooden gates open to the collection of outbuildings. The largest is a two-storey building divided into stables with a staircase leading to an ample loft store. A double gated coach house is a substantial structure and accumulatively they provide covered space, storage and functionality, with the possibility of repurposing to fulfil the needs of the owner. Fitted with lighting and power sockets and a water supply, they have the potential to become a garage or workshop. The gardens surrounding the house complement the building beautifully. There are open spaces for children to play, a courtyard, hard landscaped walls, patios and walkways, and even a two-storey Wendy house for the young at heart. At every turn the vista opens to reveal other seasonal treasure, with a vast array of plants, trees, bulbs and shrubs. Over the threshold The house is built in red brick and has a Welsh slate and tile roof with a symmetrical three bay entrance in Tudor Revival style. Canted bay windows on either side of the front door, are framed by an arched porch with overhead light. Further sash windows on the floor above are those from – left to right - master bedroom, landing and first of four bedrooms in parallel. In essence, there are twin wings with a central entrance hall dividing the reception rooms. Entry from the drive establishes the overriding sense of welcome and charm that well maintained bespoke, period homes generate. From the porch and into the tiled hall, the interior standard is established. Decorative features complimenting the plainly painted high ceiling walls include six panelled doors framed by broad architraves, plaster coving and deep skirting boards. The carpeted staircase has a square newel post, plain balustrades and sweeps to the upper floor landing, turning gradually without a half-landing. Natural light floods down onto it from a skylight above. It is an elegant introduction to a delightful property that has well served as a home for nearly two hundred years. The hall and corresponding reception rooms have been decorated and accessorised with high-quality fixtures, fittings and befitting design elements. This standard will be exhibited throughout the property, as each room is similarly decorated to an extremely high level of presentation. All blinds and curtains are included within the sale. The reception rooms The hall has doors to each room on the ground floor apart from the utility room, accessible from the kitchen and the former school room. Presently used as a study, the first reception room on the left has an open fireplace with a cast iron inset, canted bay window and is carpeted. Across the hall, the grand sitting room has two fireplaces and two canted bay windows, the largest being from the late nineteenth century with shutters and French windows. With dual perspectives, this spacious room has wall lights and is also carpeted. The downstairs floor tiled cloakroom is beautifully fitted with Victorian style sanitaryware in white porcelain consisting of a high-level cistern and pull chain, vanity basin and integral storage. All sanitary fixtures and fittings within The Old Rectory are presented and maintained to a high standard. This is the first of four bathing facilities that have been supplied and equipped with stylish and often contemporary components offering an en-suite, family shower room and a Jack and Jill bathroom. Kitchen, dining and utility Within the generous breakfast kitchen, there is a suitable area for an informal arrangement of table and chairs from which to enjoy the views of the garden through double glass doors, beneath lowered pendant light fixtures. Shaker style cabinetry in contrasting grey and white provides a generous amount of display space and storage, with trellised finishes and metro tiling separating wall and floor units. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, refrigerator, cooker, oven, extractor fan and hob. A double stainless steel sink unit makes good use of the view through the window overlooking the courtyard. The utility room has provision for a vented tumble dryer and washing machine and is accessible through the old school room. The kitchen and utility room have been fitted with floor tiles. The dining room can be entered from the kitchen or from the hall. It has a distinctive stop-chamfered blackened beam and a six-light Gothic window which is listed as being of an earlier origin than The Old Rectory. This room has an open fireplace and an integrated cupboard and easily accommodates a table suitable for formal entertaining. Lastly, as previously mentioned, the utility room is entered from the kitchen via a lobby and the old school room. This has a rear exit, presumably allowing those who had completed their lessons, the freedom of the outside rear garden without having to enter the larger rooms at the formal end of the original rectory. Today, present owners have the luxury of using it for multiple purposes, whether for sports equipment, a children’s play area or conversion into a ground floor bedroom; it is a valuable asset to have possibilities and options without having to extend. There is also a boot room on the exterior wall of the house, only accessible from outside. Double bedrooms as standard The first floor has six bedrooms-the master with an en-suite- a family shower room and a Jack and Jill bathroom. Each bedroom is quite distinctive, but they share vital characteristics: they are all spacious, well maintained and carefully designed to cater generously for their occupants. All of them have been individually decorated, some with feature wall paper, coordinating carpets or polished floorboards and have beautiful views overlooking the grounds. There are two bedrooms with en-suite style bathing facilities as the Jack and Jill bathroom can be locked to maintain independence. It comprises of a Victorian styled sink unit, toilet, heated towel rail, bidet and bath. Wall tiling and floor coverings complete the stylish interior spaces, and this is mirrored in the second en-suite which also has a characterful roll top bath but styled in a contemporary fashion. All sanitary fixtures and fittings in all the facilities in The Old Rectory have been tastefully selected with white suites, fitted and maintained to high specifications. They are often bespoke and while similar in quality, all offer individuality that befits their surroundings. In a similar vein, tiling to walls and floors, lighting and heating fixtures are of a high standard. And finally The Old Rectory served a purpose within the village of Stoney Stanton and was never just a ‘big house’ it was a small institution. Echoes of its past remain in the very name of the ‘old school room’ and there must have been many meetings, church fetes and social gatherings within its walls and garden. Fundamentally it was and remains, a special home and since being built, new owners have continued to benefit from original characteristics, while adding sympathetic features of their time of ownership to enhance and improve the property. The opportunity has now arisen for the next chapter of its story to be written! LOCALITY Stoney Stanton LE9 Stoney Stanton is a village in the Blaby district of the central English Midlands County of Leicestershire. It is only 10 miles from Leicester’s city centre, 5 miles east of Hinckley and 4 miles west of Narborough. In this location, many major road, rail and air links are conveniently accessible.

The bustling village has existed for centuries, being mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086 as ‘Stantone’ and consisted then of agricultural, meadow and woodland. It later became industrially famous for the valuable stone and gravel quarried from Carey, Clint and Lanes Hills. The pits that remain have been filled with water and provide a haven for wildlife and a water sports and scuba diving centre known as Stoney Cove. This large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sporting clubs such as golf, cricket, tennis, bowls and football, and an array of education and leisure amenities, including the David Lloyd Leisure Club with swimming pools, Hinckley Leisure Centre and Enderby Leisure Centre with golf club.

Vendor’s Perspective “We chose this house in 1978 after viewing numerous properties across the area, but this one stood apart. Its character, quality of workmanship and solid construction immediately caught our attention; more importantly, it simply felt like home. The house was originally commissioned for Sir Nicholas and Lady Margaret Corah, members of one of Leicester’s most prominent families. The Corah textile business once employed more than 6,000 people, and the house reflects the stature and quality one would expect of a residence created for such a distinguished family. It was designed and built by one of the finest architects and craftsmen of its time, with an attention to detail that is increasingly difficult to find today. Its position on one of the area’s finest tree-lined roads was another important part of its appeal. The mature trees surrounding the house provide exceptional privacy and seclusion, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of a busy day. The location was equally attractive, with convenient access to London Road, Leicester railway station, the ring road and motorway network. Our children’s schools were nearby, while many of our friends and family already lived in the area, making it the perfect place in which to raise our family. Over the years, we have grown to appreciate the house even more. Its solid doors, beautiful wood panelling, generous proportions and character features are reminders of a time when homes were built with exceptional materials and craftsmanship. There is a solidity, warmth and sense of permanence here that is very difficult to replicate. For us, this has always been much more than a house. It has been the backdrop to almost five decades of happy memories. Its remarkable combination of character, craftsmanship, privacy, beautiful surroundings and outstanding location makes it a very special home—one we hope its next owners will enjoy and cherish just as much as we have.” The Location Knighton Grange Road is regarded as one of Oadby’s finest residential addresses, characterised by substantial individual homes, generous plots and mature surroundings. Oadby offers an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with access to highly regarded state and independent schools.

The A6 provides straightforward access to Leicester city centre and Market Harborough, while the A563 Ring Road connects with the M1, M69 and wider motorway network. Leicester railway station offers direct rail services to London St Pancras International, making the property particularly well placed for business and leisure travel.
