From the Owners PerspectiveWe have lived here for over 40 years, cherishing its unique charm and creating countless memories. Now, in our later years, we feel it’s time to pass this special home to a younger family to enjoy. We moved in during our late 30s, hosting weddings and parties in the extensive grounds, once home to horses and now beautifully landscaped. Over time, we’ve reinstated a grass tennis court, added an outdoor covered BBQ area with water and electrics, and planted numerous trees, including pleached Hornbeams, Silver Birches, and a stunning Walnut tree. Our grandsons love practising football on the expansive lawns, and the sunken garden, with its Acers, Hostas, and Magnolias, is a magical space. A hidden fruit cage, mature herbaceous borders, and watering systems further enhance the gardens.The house, designed by renowned architect Frank Tugwell, spans four floors. The cellars, bright and accessible, offer potential for conversion, while the main floor centres around a welcoming kitchen with an Aga, complemented by contemporary interiors and original Arts and Crafts features, including unique fireplaces and stunning parquet floors. The first floor boasts spacious bedrooms with spectacular views, and the top floor, previously children’s rooms, now serves as an office and guest space, with potential for a self-contained apartment. Protected by solid oak electric gates, the property feels like a safe haven. Our son’s nearby converted coach house adds to this sense of security and connection. The South-facing patio offers breathtaking views of the 3.2 acres down to the river, where we’ve loved watching ships sail past. As Tom Boyd, the previous owner, told us, we are merely custodians of Beacon Garth. It’s time to pass this beautiful home on, carrying with us a lifetime of wonderful memories.

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. Stoneygate, Knighton, Leicester Racecourse, the University of Leicester Botanic Garden and the green open spaces of Victoria Park are all within convenient reach. 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. A Rare Opportunity A home of genuine presence and provenance, this remarkable property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period residence on one of the area’s most prestigious roads. Its exceptional craftsmanship, generous accommodation and private grounds combine to create a home of enduring distinction. Viewing is essential to appreciate its scale, atmosphere and timeless appeal.

A Landmark Private Residence on Knighton Grange Road, Oadby For sale by Harry Singh of Fine & Country, this exceptional detached residence occupies a private plot of nearly 1.8 acres on one of Oadby’s most prestigious roads. Accessed via a double-gated private driveway, with electric gates and intercom to the front, the home immediately conveys a sense of arrival, privacy and quiet grandeur. Set behind mature trees, sweeping driveway space and landscaped grounds, the property is an extraordinary family residence with approximately 16,839 sq ft of accommodation, extensive garaging, workshops and outbuildings. The home is arranged in distinct wings, making it particularly well suited to large families, multi-generational living, entertaining and those seeking a lifestyle property of true substance. The property is a genuinely rare fusion of two distinct architectural chapters: a beautifully designed contemporary wing, conceived and built by the current owners circa 1995, wrapped harmoniously around a Grade II Listed rear wing — formerly Knighton Grange Farm — whose original stone and character lend this home a depth and provenance that no new build could ever replicate. Together, they form a seamless whole: a private estate of extraordinary scale, sophistication, and soul. The Main Entrance & Central Hall Entry is through a grand front door of real presence — a fitting introduction to everything that follows. The house opens into a magnificent entrance hallway, where marble flooring with underfloor heating creates an immediate feeling of elegance. A large glazed frontage draws natural light deep into the home, while the central staircase rises beautifully ahead, splitting at the landing with marble steps and solid oak beyond. This central hall acts as the heart of the house, connecting the principal reception rooms, family living areas, guest wing and indoor swimming pool complex. A cloakroom and study are positioned nearby, providing everyday convenience and a quiet place to work from home. The Front Reception Wing To the right of the entrance hall is a superb principal lounge, a wonderfully impressive yet comfortable room with air conditioning and a decked balcony overlooking the front pond. This is a room designed for calm, conversation and evening light, with the balcony creating a peaceful outlook across the private frontage. Also accessed from the main hallway is a formal dining room with underfloor heating and direct garden access. Elegant and generously proportioned, it is perfectly suited to family celebrations, dinner parties and more formal entertaining. The Kitchen, Dining & Family Wing The open-plan kitchen and dining area forms the natural everyday heart of the home. Substantial in scale and beautifully connected to both the gardens and swimming pool area, it is designed for family life on a grand level. The kitchen features timber base and wall units, tiled flooring with underfloor heating, a large central island with gas hob, fitted appliances including double oven and grill, dishwasher, and generous work surfaces. A large window frames views over the garden, while doors lead directly to the swimming pool area and to the rear garden from the dining space. From the kitchen, a family snug provides a warm and relaxed living space, complete with underfloor heating and air conditioning. This is ideal for informal evenings, children’s television, or quiet moments away from the larger reception rooms. Further along this wing are highly practical supporting spaces including a utility room, WC, storage room and art room, giving the home excellent day-to-day functionality. The Guest & Leisure Wing To the left of the main entrance hall, a separate guest reception area opens into a generous guest lounge with air conditioning and a bar area. This wing has a wonderful sense of independence, making it ideal for visiting family, older children, guests or live-in support. From the guest lounge, stairs lead up to the self-contained first-floor guest accommodation. Beyond the lounge are two changing rooms serving the swimming pool, each with its own shower, WC and underfloor heating. Further along, the accommodation continues into a cinema room and then a large gym and games room. With independent access to the car porch, this area offers excellent flexibility and could be adapted further to create annexe-style accommodation, subject to any necessary consents. The Indoor Swimming Pool Complex At the centre of the home is a spectacular heated indoor swimming pool, one of the property’s defining lifestyle features. The whole house appears to revolve around this exceptional space, with doors connecting it to the kitchen wing, guest wing, main hallway and rear courtyard. The pool area is fully enclosed, underfloor heated and offers generous relaxation space around the poolside. The heated pool also features a counter-current swim system, allowing one to swim against the current for exercise and training. Whether used for fitness, family enjoyment or entertaining, this is a rare and luxurious addition that elevates the home far beyond the ordinary. First Floor – Principal Family Bedroom Wing The central staircase rises to a dramatic galleried landing, with a large window overlooking the swimming pool area. From here, the first floor divides naturally into two wings. To the right is the principal family bedroom wing, comprising five bedrooms. The master bedroom suite is a substantial private retreat, featuring a dressing room, modern en-suite bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and separate shower, and a balcony overlooking the front pond. Three further bedrooms are generous doubles and benefit from their own en-suite facilities, while the fifth bedroom is also well proportioned and served by a family bathroom. Bedrooms two, three, four and five benefit from air conditioning, enhancing comfort throughout the warmer months. A secondary staircase from this wing leads back down towards the kitchen hallway, creating a practical and convenient flow through the house. First Floor – Self-Contained Guest Wing To the left of the galleried landing is the self-contained guest accommodation, overlooking the guest hall below. This area includes an open-plan kitchen and lounge, guest bedroom accommodation and dressing space. There is also access down to the guest lounge below, allowing the wing to function independently from the main family bedrooms. This arrangement is ideal for extended family, guests, teenagers, staff accommodation or those seeking a more independent living space within the home. Outside, Grounds & Outbuildings The property sits centrally within nearly 1.8 acres, with gardens, driveway space and mature planting wrapping around the house to create a wonderful sense of privacy. To the front, electric gates with intercom open to a sweeping private driveway, with a lawned area to one side and a pond feature overlooked by the balcony from the main lounge and principal bedroom suite. There is also provision for water and electricity to create a central fountain feature on the main drive, should a future owner wish to further enhance the approach. A second gated access leads to extensive side parking, a patio area, additional lawn and a tarmac driveway running towards the rear outbuildings. The outbuildings wrap around the property and include two double garages with electric shutters, a large workshop with WC, storage areas and further useful spaces. These buildings offer exceptional flexibility for car collectors, business owners, hobbyists or those requiring substantial secure storage. To the rear is a large vegetable garden area, while the gardens continue around the right-hand side of the property towards the front. Mature trees, established hedging and shrubbery provide privacy and a beautiful green backdrop throughout the seasons. A fully paved enclosed courtyard sits to the rear of the pool area, offering a sheltered sun trap and superb entertaining space. Large double doors connect this courtyard to the car porch, with access also to the boiler room.

Dry Gap Barn is an exquisite, Grade II Listed, 3 bedroom detached country home in a stunning position and a highly sought after location, all set within a plot of 1.24 acres. Offering unique, bespoke architecture together with ample space both inside and out, this property even includes planning for further development too. With a further, separate workshop / home-office / utility space (which could easily become a self-contained annexe / guest suite), gorgeous gardens and grounds, ample parking space with EV charging and an extensive gated driveway entrance, this is truly an incredible family home. At the heart of Dry Gap Barn lies an awe-inspiring living space that perfectly captures the essence of this exceptional Grade II Listed conversion. Framed by an extraordinary medieval-style A-frame cruck structure, the magnificent, vaulted interior showcases a breath-taking network of hand-hewn oak trusses, principal rafters and substantial cross beams-each bearing the unique character and craftsmanship of centuries past. These remarkable timbers are not only a defining architectural feature but also a rare testament to traditional English barn construction, creating a dramatic centrepiece that is both historically significant and visually captivating. Soaring to the apex of the roof, the impressive frame creates an incredible sense of volume and openness, while carefully positioned rooflights bathe the space in natural light, accentuating the rich textures of the aged oak and original stonework. Complemented by traditional lime plaster walls. The result is an interior of exceptional scale, warmth and atmosphere. Thoughtfully restored and sensitively enhanced, the barn effortlessly marries its agricultural heritage with contemporary design. A striking mezzanine level overlooks the principal reception space, offering an elegant perspective of the spectacular roof structure, while bespoke architectural elements have been carefully introduced to complement, rather than compete with, the historic fabric of the building. The expansive open-plan living and entertaining space is both inviting and inspiring, with a contemporary wood-burning stove adding warmth and ambience beneath the soaring timbers. Every detail has been carefully considered to preserve the authenticity of this remarkable building whilst providing the comfort and sophistication expected of a modern country home. Dry Gap Barn is far more than a conversion; believed to be the last remaining cruck-framed barn in the North West of England it is clearly of special architectural interest in a national context (source Historic England), it is a rare opportunity to own an architectural masterpiece where history, craftsmanship and contemporary luxury exist in perfect harmony. Homes possessing such an exceptional and beautifully preserved timber frame are seldom offered to the market, making this a truly remarkable residence in Turn Village, one of Ramsbottom's most sought-after rural settings. Our Vendor's comments: I have loved the barn since I was a child, living across the lane. When the chance came up for us to convert it into a wonderful home we felt lucky to have the opportunity, our children have grown up in this magical setting. We chose eco-friendly sustainable options for the conversion of the barn & separate annexe; ground source heating, solar, thermal insulation & private water supply from a borehole. The barn is an absolute joy to live in with ambient constant temperature, thick stone walls & underfloor heating throughout both buildings. Cosy in the winter, cool in the heat of summer. We also carefully considered the gardens & land surrounding; rewilded the meadow which is now abundant in a huge variety of grasses & British wild meadow flowers including ox-eye daisies, everlasting sweetpeas & yellow rattle... it buzzes with biodiversity, the barn owl flying over is a regular sight. We have aimed for a naturalistic, low intervention garden to suit the barn's aesthetic. The barn & garden has uninterrupted far reaching views over Holcombe Hill, Peel tower & beyond, the sunsets are spectacular.

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 M1 (junction 20, south, near to Lutterworth and junction 21, north), M6, M42 and M69 maximise the potential for travel by road and there are airports in Coventry and at The East Midlands Airport close to Castle Donnington. Operational train stations can be found at Narborough, Hinckley and Leicester, with trains running regularly to London St Pancras International. 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. Locally there is the convenience of such things as a cooperative supermarket but wider afield Fosse Park, offers a retail hub with major high street retailers. There are several local pubs – The Blue Bell Inn, Bull’s Head and Star Inn – shops and restaurants – a fish and chip shop, a separate Indian and Chinese restaurant and takeaway, plus a pizzeria - cafes and parks, with an outdoor gym, children’s playground and skateboarding park. Stoney Stanton benefits by having service and convenience stores: a hardware shop, hairdressers, barbers and beautician. There is a local post office, and a public library operates from within the small St Michael’s shopping area. A medical centre, pharmacy, opticians and dentists are similarly convenient and within walking distance of the village centre. For those seeking the peace and beauty of the countryside, Stoney Stanton has an abundance of nature reserves and bridal paths. The equestrian Witham Villa Stables is three miles away.

The parish church of St Michael’s is first recorded in a document dating to 1149 and is one of three places of worship within Stoney Stanton, the others being the Methodist Church on Hinckley Road and the Living Rock evangelical church. The village centre has the oldest buildings in the locality including an eighteenth century Dower House, a bake house and a Victorian Rectory, once the home of Baron Lawson of Blaby, Nigel Lawson, a former Chancellor of the Exchequer during Margaret Thatcher’s years.

Situated between the two towns is the innovative Kilworth open-air theatre set under sail-like canopies within the grounds of Kilworth House Hotel. Although protected as a Conservation Area, Shearsby is by no means dormant – it is a lively, active and busy community with the Village Green, the Old School House converted into the village hall, St Mary Magdalene Church and The Chandlers Public House forming the heart of the village. The area boasts an excellent standard of schools, with the local primary schools at both Arnesby and nearby Gilmorton. As well as a good range of state secondary schools in nearby Lutterworth, private schooling is available nearby at Rugby School and Leicester Grammar School (Great Glen).

Located in the south Leicestershire village of South Kilworth, This Home is a property of distinctive style and design. Found at the top of a spacious private tarmac drive lined with tall graphite eco fencing, it is approached from Welford Road through black steel gates and along a driveway lined with lights and shrubs. It is an impressively individual building from the very first glance. Although it is only natural to try and imagine what this exceptional property has to offer, this is an original, and as such will undoubtedly deliver beyond expectations. This Stunning Home has been developed and personalised by the present owners over the last sixteen years. It is a residence that exudes modern characteristics and attributing features of architectural note. The main part of the building is in white render, accessorised with horizontal graphite windows, and a large chimney stack amidst a sweeping clerestory roof. It has been specifically extended and refurbished to add contemporary features, fixtures and fittings creating a split level house with an enormous one hundred metre squared bedroom extension connected to the main building through a glass link. 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.

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.

DESCRIPTION Wicksted Hall is an exceptional Arts & Crafts country house occupying a private and elevated position within the rolling countryside of South Cheshire. Commissioned by Lieutenant Herbert Wicksted Ethelston and constructed between 1903 and 1906, the Hall was conceived as the principal residence of a private country estate and today remains one of the county's most distinctive examples of Arts & Crafts architecture. Built during the final years of the Edwardian era, the house displays many of the characteristics associated with the movement, including stone mullioned windows, decorative brickwork, green oak detailing and finely crafted architectural features. Extending to approximately 13,734 sq ft, the accommodation offers impressive scale and flexibility, with elegant reception rooms, substantial bedroom accommodation and a significant leisure wing. Approached through private gates and sweeping driveways, the Hall enjoys complete privacy within approximately 10.4 acres of established gardens, paddocks and grounds. Features include a Victorian walled kitchen garden, original glasshouses, mature trees, secondary estate access and a collection of historic outbuildings, all contributing to the atmosphere of a traditional English country house.
