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.

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.

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!
