Desford LE9Desford 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.

The Hall went on to serve as a girls’ grammar school, further enriching its legacy before eventually returning to residential use. Today, Holgate represents a rare chance to own part of this storied building, beautifully preserved and carefully adapted for private living. The property has undergone a significant renovation in recent years, ensuring modern comfort while preserving its historic charm.

SUN HOUSEOriginally commissioned and constructed in 1937 for a local business owner, the design of Sun House was undertaken by award-winning architect Raymond Myerscough-Walker. Known for his architecture, Raymond was also a talented perspectivist, painter and sculptor. The influence of this wealth of creativity is evident throughout the design of property and its importance to historical England is recognised by its Grade 2 star listing – an accolade reserved for homes of true distinction. Since its conception, Sun House has gone on to feature in many books on modernist architecture as well as being listed in 2005 in The Independent’s Top Ten Modern UK Homes. Enjoyed by only 3 previous owners, it is evident that Sun House is not just a property of impressive design, but also a property which has been thoroughly enjoyed as a family home. THE ACCOMMODATIONAs you would expect from the name, one of the key design considerations to Sun House is maximising the light gained from its elevated position and fantastic predominantly south-facing orientation. As soon as you enter the house you start to appreciate the considerations taken to maximise this light, as well as the plethora of original features that can be found throughout the property. The ground floor offers spacious and practically arranged accommodation to suit family living with accommodation, in brief, comprising of: entrance lobby, an open dining reception hall, formal living room with an incredible semi-circular glazed aspect overlooking the gardens, kitchen offering a tasteful blend modern fitments and appliances as well as traditional cabinet integrated through granite worktops, WC/ cloaks, generous understairs store and an externally accessed utility area. The first floor is accessed via a fabulous spiral staircase forming the spine of this home. Once on the landing, you can find 4 well-proportioned bedrooms which all enjoy lovely aspects, a family bathroom, separate WC and a truly impressive balcony area which offers ample space for lounging, dining and entertaining, all while enjoying the very special outlook. The crown jewel of the home is undoubtedly found on the second floor. Continuing up the main spiral staircase, at its top you are greeted by a glazed atrium with a phenomenal terrace wrapping around. Offering the most incredible 360-degree views over Nottinghamshire, it creates an additional area to sun lounge in privacy, relax or entertain. Views as expansive and unobstructed within greater Nottinghamshire are extremely rare to come by. GARDENS & GROUNDSEnclosed on all sides and set back from the road, Sun House enjoys circa two thirds of an acre of beautifully established and private grounds. Entered via private electric gated entrance, you are greeted by a long driveway flanked by hedgerows that run to the attractive frontage of the home where you’ll find ample off-street parking space as well as access to the detached double tandem garage. The remainder of the predominantly south facing gardens comprise of a number of sitting and dining areas, an array of raised beds, fruit bushes, specimen trees such as American Horse Chestnut, Twisted Hazel, Fig, and Magnolia, a large wildflower garden with orchard, formal lawns, pond, pergola, greenhouse, independent sauna with changing area, workshop to the rear of the garage, several storage sheds and more. It is, for sure, an area which needs to be seen to be appreciated and a true ‘gardeners’ haven’. GARDEN ROOMA more recent addition to the grounds is the spacious garden office, tucked away out of sight of the main house at the end of the wildflower garden. It’s an ideal space for people working from home or even a gym, and with the underfloor heating, sliding doors and sun deck, it is a great area that can be enjoyed all year round.
