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. The hall’s stunning apex window and vaulted ceiling is a major feature. It adds warmth, light and a volume of overhead space that encourages the visitor to look upwards to appreciate the white balustraded, carpeted staircase and gallery. 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. The central island, also houses room for stools, and who would not want to sit in such a wonderful room and admire the views through the bi-folding doors? They fold back to allow the raised terrace to become an extension of the room. This is ideal for entertaining and provides immediate access to the landscaped, private garden. 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. A sheltered summer house and green house with raised beds provide interest for keen gardeners, while a large, grassed area is perfect for children to play safely. It is by clever and practical design that these lovely outdoor areas are seamlessly linked to optimise space for maximum functionality, whether for everyday living or those special entertaining occasions. Reception rooms The pantry and utility room are to the right of the kitchen. With additional storage, work top and sink, space is available for a washing machine and vented tumble drier. The utility room has access to the garden and is next door to a room presently used as a study. It has two windows looking into the rear garden. Leaving this room and walking back into the kitchen, a boot room is discreetly located in the hall and then a hallway links the remaining ground floor reception rooms and guest suite. Both reception rooms are spacious, easily cater for different arrangements of furniture and have patio doors opening to the terrace. 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.

These en-suite facilities consist of a walk-in shower, toilet, bidet, sink unit and stand-alone roll top bath. It is perfectly private as a guest suite or for a member of the family requiring ground floor accommodation. From the generous living areas on the ground floor the ascent to the first floor is dominated by the feature apex window. It allows natural light to flood the wide, airy landing. Here there are five double bedrooms, a study and family bathroom. The rooms have television and power points and three of the largest, private en-suites consisting of walk-in showers, toilets and vanity units.

House with garden and terrace Leicester (United Kingdom)
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. For more information the site found at www.townandvillageguide.com/Leicestershire/StoneyStanton.html is one of many resources. 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. Stoney Stanton has a local primary school, Manorfield C of E Primary School and the secondary school catchment include Hastings School in Burbage, the John Cleveland College and Lutterworth High School. Private school establishments include Dixie Grammar School, Leicester Grammar School and the Bablake and King Henry VIII School. The Office for Standards in Education - OFSTED – is best researched to provide a comprehensive review of currently rated standards of practice for all educational providers in the vicinity.

House with pool and garden Leicester (United Kingdom)
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.

Contemporary house with pool and garden Leicester (United Kingdom)
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.

From here, the first floor divides naturally into two wings. To the right is the principal family bedroom wing, comprising five bedrooms.

House with pool and garden Oadby (United Kingdom)
The Hawthorns is a masterpiece of Edwardian architecture, built in 1906 and standing as one of the finest and most characterful residences in one of Oadby's most coveted addresses. Set behind a long, sweeping driveway on a plot of approximately 0.56 of an acre, the moment you arrive you understand that this is something entirely different. This remarkable property extends to an impressive 5,455 square feet in total, encompassing the principal house, annexe, garage and outbuildings, offering a scale and versatility that is exceptionally rare in this area. From the moment you step into the entrance hall, the story of this house begins to unfold. Double height, grand in proportion and flooded with light, the original wooden flooring underfoot and the staircase that rises above are genuinely among the finest you will find in a private home. The detail along the banisters, the sweep of the landing above, the chandelier overhead. It stops you in your tracks, as it should. That same original wooden flooring continues through the first floor hallway, a thread of authenticity that runs through the very heart of the home. The reception rooms are in a league of their own. Original fireplaces, intricate cornicing and coving, soaring ceilings, rich wall panelling and original bay windows combine to create spaces that feel both historic and utterly alive. Whether you are entertaining on a grand scale or simply living well, these rooms deliver something that no new build can replicate and no amount of money can manufacture. This home drips in character. And thanks to the modern heating system installed throughout, it is a home that keeps you wonderfully cool through the summer months and beautifully warm and cosy as the seasons turn, without ever losing a single note of its period charm. The kitchen and dining space is a genuine heart-of-the-home room and one that surprises at every turn. Exceptionally generous in proportion, it features a superb range of solid timber cabinetry with rich warm tones, dark granite worktops and a range cooker with extractor above. The original terrazzo flooring runs throughout and adds enormous character underfoot. Original leaded and stained glass windows bathe the room in coloured light, while French doors open directly out to the garden, making this a space that flows beautifully between inside and out. There is ample room for a large dining table and informal seating, making this as much a family room as it is a kitchen. A substantial utility room leads directly off, originally the servant quarters, complete with its own secondary staircase still intact, offering genuine flexibility for multi-generational living or simply a nod to the history beneath your feet. The first floor houses five bedrooms, all of generous proportion. Two benefit from their own en suite bathrooms, both fitted with underfloor heating, one featuring a sleek walk-in shower enclosure. The family bathroom perfectly complements the period character of the home. The principal bedroom enjoys its own bay window above the reception room below, flooding the space with light, and is served by a very large en suite. On the second floor, the possibilities open up further. A versatile room currently suited to use as a study or additional bedroom leads through to an extensive loft space that is ready and waiting to be converted. In the hands of a buyer with vision, the entire upper floor could become a private principal suite of genuine hotel quality, a games room or a creative studio. The ceiling height, the bones of the space and the existing access make this one of the most exciting opportunities the house presents. Outside, the plot is extraordinary for this location. Mature trees, established planting and lawned gardens wrap around the property, offering complete privacy and a sense of seclusion that belies the fact you are moments from everything this exceptional address has to offer. A dedicated garden outbuilding currently serves as a private gym. The gardens also benefit from an external WC and a separate outdoor utility room used for garden maintenance and storage. The annexe above the garage is a genuinely independent living space with its own gas meter, electricity meter and boiler system. Comprising a bedroom area, lounge, kitchen and bathroom, it is ideal for extended family, a live-in carer, visiting guests or as an income-generating opportunity. A garage with remote controlled electric doors and an adjacent carport complete the outstanding provision of outbuildings. The home is further protected by a silent panic alarm connected directly to the Police, providing an exceptional level of security and peace of mind for the whole household. Directly opposite the property sits one of the area's most treasured assets. The University of Leicester Botanic Garden is a destination in its own right, drawing visitors from across the county and beyond to experience 16 acres of breathtaking grounds that change with every season. To have this on your doorstep, to watch it bloom and transform through spring, summer, autumn and winter, is one of those quiet privileges that only the fortunate few who live here truly understand. Victoria Park is equally close, offering open green space, weekend recreation and a wonderful sense of room to breathe. Glebe Road sits at the heart of Oadby, one of the most distinguished residential addresses in the East Midlands.

House with pool and garden Desford (United Kingdom)
Stately and tranquil Within the conservation area of Church Lane, in the charming Leicestershire village of Desford, The Old Rectory is located behind an imposing brick wall, sitting in private grounds boarded by mature trees and gardens. Originally built in the 18th century, this impressive period property has had Edwardian renovations and as its name suggests, has been intrinsically linked to the history of its neighbour, St Martin’s parish church. The house and grounds have been the place of church fetes and social gatherings for decades. In 1981 it became a private residence, and the present owners have lived in the house since 2016, continuing to maintain original characteristics and add sympathetic features of the twenty-first century to enhance and improve the property. It is centrally located and is a beautifully positioned detached property with five generous bedrooms - two with ensuite facilities – set amidst its own land of 1.26 acres. Its striking silhouette is outlined with an array of dramatic chimney stacks and intersecting hip, and valley rooves, while classically proportioned sash style windows headed by castellated brickwork present a grand, bespoke property of size and refinement. Renovated Carefully improved to retain its distinctly traditional, quintessentially English style, the renovation work has included a complete rewiring, replacement gas boilers, radiators, windows and doors. On its ground floor level there are five reception rooms: a study, lounge, sitting room, dining room and conservatory. A large island kitchen is complimented with a utility room, and two staircases lead to the first-floor bedrooms, family bathroom and balcony.

Desford LE9 Desford is a village situated in the south-west of Leicestershire, benefitting from all the merits of its countryside location while also being close to motorway and rail networks that crisscross this east Midlands region. It is only seven miles west from Leicester’s city centre, with its multi-cultural restaurants, theatres, museums, galleries, rich retail selection and attractions such as the King Richard III exhibition. From Desford, the closest motorway links are the M1 and M69 toward Enderby. There are train stations at Rugby for links to Birmingham and Narborough for links to Leicester, with trains running regularly from there to London St Pancras International. East Midlands Airport (EMB) and Birmingham Airport (BHX) are the closest airports. Desford or ‘Deor’s Ford’ was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 but is possibly of Anglo-Saxon origin, being based on a significant hill 400 feet above sea level. St Martin’s parish church dates from the late thirteenth century and the village centre has a selection of Grade II listed buildings including a timber framed manor house and service buildings from the 1600’s. The Baptist Church on Chapel Lane was constructed in 1866. All combine to mark the centuries that have passed in Desford, including the present development of homes. The original settlement predates the Norman Conquest. In one of many Enclosure Acts of the eighteenth century the predominant farming community were forced to become invested with industrial economics and then, with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, came the railway. A railway station was built linking established lines to larger towns and cities. It was closed to passengers in 1964 and then to freight in 1984. A half winding wheel on Lindridge Lane is a permanent reminder of the era and today Caterpillar Inc. are a significant employer in the area, having repurposed the old Desford aerodrome. Today, the bustling village is part of the Harborough district of Leicestershire and is within a half hour drive of Enderby, Kirby Muxloe, Market Bosworth and Kirkby Mallory. Although it has existed for centuries, this large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, (Sport in Desford Clubhouse with new Scout hut and tennis courts) education and leisure amenities. There is an array of shops, a library, cafes, a pharmacy and parks. Public houses include The Lancaster close to the old railway station and the Bluebell Inn in the village centre. For more details this site may help: https://www.desford-pc.gov.uk For those requiring primary schools, Desford has its own: Desford Primary School. Wider afield secondary education can be found in Market Bosworth, Countesthorpe, and Lutterworth or at Leicester Grammar.
