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.

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.

Contemporary house with garden and terrace Cosby (United Kingdom)
Notably contemporary Located within the south Leicestershire village of Cosby, this house sitting on a third of an acre of ground, has been redesigned to maximise its potential. Containing over 3,000 square feet of interior space, it easily fulfils contemporary expectations for a bespoke executive property. Originally constructed during the 1940s, it has been the project of the present homeowner for ten years, with a complete renovation and extension beginning in October 2020 and a total rewiring in 2023. The resulting transformation is an outstanding detached house that along with many other features, provides three reception rooms, a spacious kitchen and breakfast diner, and a ground floor guest suite with five large double bedrooms across the first floor. Established residential area The house is located within a quiet residential area of similarly unique, characterful properties and benefits from little traffic by being atop a cul de sac. Kerb appeal is immediate. It is fronted by an open plan arrangement of paving, discreet planting and a wide drive that winds to the front and side. It is undoubtably a statement property. Characterful features include an intersecting and overlaid hip and valley roof, with dormer windows and an impressive apex window. Anthracite window frames and white rendered walls create expectations of a modern interior, as everything about the exterior-including the new roof complete with replacement fascia, soffits and guttering- establishes the impression of sharp, clean structural lines. This is enforced by the symmetry of the open weather porch, shielding a composite front door, and matched with a pair of translucent glass panels. Vehicular access is unhindered and there is ample parking. An integral single garage is immediately to the right of the property and access to the main house can be gained from here, through a downstairs washroom. The garage is equipped with overhead lighting, a store cupboard and power. The tour of the ground floor The house has been totally renovated and enlarged to prioritise light, airiness and space. From the first step across the threshold, the interior structural elements and decoration speak of an intrinsic simplicity and beauty through the choice of textures, fixtures and fittings. This is a generous property that reflects minimalism, great design and decisions made with high quality as standard. The residence is in every way, uncluttered. Unhindered lines of sight and a neutral colour palette, provide an interior décor that is the blueprint for free flow contemporary living, and the central point of convergence, is the entrance hall.

This executive home has been renovated with an exacting level of detail and attention to the fixtures and fittings. The property is coordinated throughout with matching doors, skirting boards, switches and LED ambient lighting. Fitted blinds cover most windows and most can be operated with a remote control. In the hall there are deep set windows on each side of the entrance. Optimised open plan living The open plan kitchen diner is to the right and measures nearly a third of the internal downstairs area. Covered in large porcelain floor tiles, it is an extensive light-filled room with dual aspects, and incorporates many stylish features, seamlessly running from one purposed space to another. Beginning with the breakfast room, the window has a front aspect. It is presently used as an informal sitting area but however it is used, it is within sight and easy conversation of those in the kitchen. The versatility of this space is an asset. Beyond, the kitchen is amply fitted with soft closing wall and floor non-handle units, an expanse of work top across one wall and a central island with sink and three built in USB points. A large lantern sky light allows light to flood into the food preparation area and onto the integrated appliances including a microwave cooker, separate AEG oven, food warming drawer, wine coolers, a fridge freezer, an induction hob with extraction and a Quooker tap. Two large, fitted pullout waste drawers, a dishwasher, plus large under counter storage cupboards, complete the fully fitted kitchen which was recently installed in 2023.

A landscaped garden The garden is a continuation of the open plan scheme. It is a secluded, well-maintained garden and incorporates terracing, shrubbery, planted beds, hedges and trees.

The sitting room is particularly bright, as it also has two large picture windows. It is carpeted and fitted with coordinating blinds and curtains. Likewise, the lounge has curtains. This room has a wood effect laminate flooring and a large fireplace, displaying a slate hearth, oak mantel and black gas fire. The reception rooms share an internal window.

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.
