There are homes that impress on arrival. And then there are homes like this one, where every single room you walk into makes you stop and take it all in. 51 Chestnut Drive sits within the exclusive and highly sought after Stretton Hall development on the edge of Oadby and Great Glen, and it is without question one of the finest homes within it. Set behind private gates on one of the largest and most private plots in the entire development, the approach alone sets the tone. A sweeping block paved driveway leads to the impressive front elevation, with its signature twin bay windows, full width first floor balcony and portico entrance. To the right, the detached triple garage building completes a frontage that is genuinely grand in scale and stature. Extending to approximately 3,800 sq ft across the main house, with additional accommodation in the outbuilding above the garage, this is a home that offers an extraordinary amount of versatile living space for a family of any size.

Fitted with sleek gloss cabinetry, dramatic marble effect worktops and splashbacks, a generous central island with bar seating, and a professional range cooker, it is a kitchen designed for serious cooking and serious entertaining in equal measure. Underfloor heating runs throughout the kitchen and dining areas, and French doors open directly onto the rear garden patio for seamless indoor to outdoor flow. Two conservatories extend the ground floor living space further still. The larger, measuring nearly 18 by 10 feet, wraps around the rear of the home and provides a wonderful everyday space overlooking the garden. A second conservatory adds yet another versatile room to an already exceptional ground floor. A well appointed utility room finished to the same high standard as the kitchen, alongside a ground floor WC, complete the practical side of the ground floor offering. First Floor The galleried landing is a genuinely impressive space, broad, light filled and beautifully presented, with views down into the entrance hall below.

Whether used as a home cinema, gym, teenage retreat, home office suite or guest accommodation, the potential of this room is enormous. The garage itself provides a double garage with an additional store room alongside. Outside The rear garden is a genuinely impressive outdoor space. A large entertaining patio sits immediately off the kitchen and conservatory, with a charming pergola seating area providing a shaded spot for outdoor dining. The lawn extends generously behind, bordered by established planting, mature trees and timber fencing that creates real privacy and seclusion throughout.

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.

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.
