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.

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.

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.

A secondary staircase from this wing leads back down towards the kitchen hallway, creating a practical and convenient flow through the house.

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.

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 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.

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.
