The churchyard sits under the Diocese of Peterborough’s ownership, with right of access given along the pathways in order to reach the property. There’s a two-car parking area occupants of St Peters may use. Being Grade II* listed, the evolution from place of worship to a place to call home wasn’t easy. The biggest challenge came when laying the new limestone floors, raised over the original flagstones. Underfloor heating and insulation are installed beneath the slate, there are damp-proofing measures defending the property, and two boilers serve the home, in four zones. As for features, the list is extensive, and some such as the Archer which sits proudly in the main entrance hall pre-date the building itself. Throughout this stunning home there are grand arches and small alcoves, stained glass windows and a medieval mural, there are also many monuments, including one of a praying William Montagu and a phenomenal Montagu tomb. The font and the pulpit are positioned in the main living space, angel corbels watch over the primary bedroom, and there are interesting light fittings made from bell ropes and wheels.As well as retaining every feature that could be resurrected or conserved, the general layout of the property has remained much as it was when the current owners purchased it. Newly fitted oak panelled partitions separate the spaces, with glazing above doorways to allow light to penetrate. The gallery is also a newer addition, and this is perfect for unwinding with a book, or simply appreciating all the character seen from this spot.The nave is now the heart of the home with a spectacular vaulted ceiling, with the kitchen one side and living areas opposite. For such a vast, voluminous space, it’s surprisingly homely, and would work very well for both everyday family life and entertaining friends. The kitchen is the most modern area, fitted with a range of bespoke navy-blue cabinets, chestnut worktops, and an island with stone surfacing. It’s well equipped, with a double ceramic butler sink and either freestanding or integrated appliances (appliances available by separate negotiation). The utility at the base of the bell tower matches the kitchen, and here there’s a ceramic Belfast sink and more storage.The chancel is now the primary bedroom, with an elevated area that was once the altar, it also houses the two stunning Montagu monuments. Imagine waking up in surroundings as impressive as this. Bedrooms two and three run alongside the main living space, bedroom four is in the bell tower, and there are two further rooms as you travel up the spiral staircase to the top. The lower of these rooms is set up as an office, private and secluded for working away in peace.Both the primary bedroom and bedroom four have an en suite, bedrooms two and three share a Jack & Jill bathroom, and there’s a convenient cloakroom on the ground floor too. The en suite above bedroom four has a Hudson Reed shower, while the primary en suite and the Jack & Jill bathroom feature William Holland copper tubs, testament to the quality fixtures and fittings throughout the home. Relaxing in a bubble-filled bath with a chalice of wine here would be heavenlyLittle Oakley is a hamlet of only a handful of homes.

House with garden Stockerston (United Kingdom)
Tucked away along a quiet lane in the small, highly regarded village of Stockerston, Firs Farm is a hidden gem – a beautiful barn conversion offering peace, privacy and endless potential, all set within approximately 1.7 acres of gardens and paddock land (subject to measured survey). With protected countryside views, flexible living accommodation and a wonderful sense of history, it is a rare opportunity to acquire a property that offers both a charming country lifestyle and excellent proximity to Uppingham and the wider amenities of the area.The house itself forms part of what was once a traditional working dairy farm, originally dating back at least 250 years. In the mid-1980s, the barns were sensitively converted by a developer, preserving the authenticity of the buildings while creating a welcoming and liveable home. The layout of the property is centred around a charming central south facing courtyard with a water feature, providing a beautiful outlook from several rooms and a calming heart to the home. The main reception room is a lovely space, enjoying dual aspects and views towards the garden, while the kitchen and dining room sit adjacent, offering practical and sociable spaces with doors that flow naturally to the courtyard outside. The kitchen itself, fitted in a classic style, is both practical and characterful, with a bay window looking onto the courtyard and fields beyond.The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous, comprising a spacious double bedroom, dressing area and large en-suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are located nearby, both doubles, one en-suite the other with a dedicated shower room, providing flexibility for family living or guest accommodation. Additionally, there are three further rooms currently used as studies but easily adaptable to further bedrooms if desired. This adaptability is reflected across the property, which could readily evolve to suit the changing needs of a growing family, those seeking multi-generational living, or simply purchasers requiring ample room to work from home.One of the highlights of Firs Farm is the wing of the house containing the beautiful garden room – once the old dairy building – a stunning space with exposed original beams and feature windows, a real connection to the property’s agricultural past. Externally, Firs Farm continues to impress. The grounds, extending to approximately 1.7 acres (subject to measured survey), include a formal lawned garden dotted with mature trees, borders and shrubs, established fruit trees, a large enclosed paddock with its own entrance off Church Lane and the central courtyard. There is a stable block offering three stables with an attached large car port and barns to the rear. An attached garage providing secure parking and additional storage. Over the years, the land has been used in a variety of ways, including grazing for sheep and ponies, and it would lend itself beautifully to small-scale/hobby equestrian use or simple enjoyment as part of a country lifestyle.The setting is truly idyllic. The paddock enjoys wonderful views across open fields towards Stockerston Hall and the property is remarkably private, hidden from view and approached via a long curving old farm driveway, offering a sense of seclusion that is increasingly rare to find.* The below plan is indicative only and illustrates an alternative layout, subject to planning permission.

House with pool Lutterworth (United Kingdom)
Welcome to Bosworth House, a residence of uncommon presence and scale, set discreetly behind brick walls along one of Husbands Bosworth’s most established lanes. A sweeping driveway announces arrival, drawing the eye towards this imposing country residence whose architecture speaks quietly of confidence rather than display. This is a home that has evolved with care, balancing historic grandeur with the expectations of contemporary living. Extending to over 11,000 square feet, the house unfolds with a sense of generosity and rhythm. Ceiling heights, proportions and light have been carefully preserved, allowing each principal room to feel both expansive and composed. Reception spaces flow with ease, offering the flexibility required for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life. Entrances rarely come as a grand as this flag stone hall, which invites you in to this home that is steeped in history and architectural features. Round the corner, a bespoke staircase is bathed in light which spills through an impression gothic-arched, chapel window. At the heart of the home, you will find, not one, but two kitchens. The formal kitchen, perfect for entertaining and gatherings, has been re-fitted with an extensive range of fitted units and central island with granite work surfaces, with a five oven Aga range, nestled within the original fireplace. The secondary, (spice), kitchen, is equipped with an equally extensive range of fitted units, complemented with high-spec appliances including a Samsung oven, Zanussi microwave and Neff dishwasher, making it an ideal, functional spice kitchen. Beyond here, is the laundry room, with plumbing for appliances. The cellar, which is accessed from the main kitchen, features four separate, barrel ceiling chambers. The principal living areas are anchored by craftsmanship and quiet detail rather than ostentation. South facing and with views extending into the secluded garden that soften the interior and reinforce the sense of privacy throughout. A dedicated study, games room and cinema room allow the house to adapt seamlessly to different rhythms of life, while the inclusion of an indoor swimming pool elevates everyday living into something more restorative. Bathed in natural light, this space offers year-round enjoyment and opens out to the landscaped garden beyond. Bosworth House’s accommodation is exceptional in both scale and execution. Seven beautifully appointed suites, each comprising a bedroom, dressing room and en suite bathroom, provide a level of comfort more often associated with the finest boutique hotels. Every suite has been designed to offer independence and retreat, making the house equally suited to multi-generational living, hosting guests, or simply enjoying space without compromise. The grounds, extending to approximately one acre, have been thoughtfully landscaped to create structure without formality. Mature planting frames open lawns, terraces and quieter corners, offering privacy and changing outlooks throughout the seasons. It is a setting that feels established and calm, yet entirely manageable. Completing the estate is a substantial triple garage, discreetly positioned and accessed via separate, secure gates, features an external staircase leading to a studio above that lends itself to a range of uses, from a home office to creative space, or ancillary accommodation. Practical considerations have been handled with the same attention as the main house, ensuring functionality never intrudes upon the overall elegance. Please note: Planning permission, (17/01457/FUL), which has since lapsed, has previously been granted for the demolition of the triple garage and erection of a pair of semi-detached dwellings (re-submission of 14/01138/FUL).

House with garden and terrace Shearsby (United Kingdom)
Yew Tree House presents as an attractive, well-built cottage from the kerb side on Fenny Lane. It is certainly that but so, so much more. Dating from the 1700’s, it was originally a farmhouse until the present owners in 2013 realised its potential. With a vision to create a home suited for its rural location and contemporarily equipped for the future, they extended and modernised the entire property, the result is a prestigious, bespoke four bedroom house in a prime location.The property is directly approached from the road and has a block paved drive at the side leading to double wooden gates. A car could be parked here but beyond the gates the drive becomes gravelled and leads to a double garage where there is ample room for turning and parking multiple vehicles. Fencing, mature shrubbery, hedging and native trees provide seclusion and privacy surrounding a landscaped garden to the rear of the house. Yew Tree House and grounds are deceptively large and while certainly appealing from initial observation, it is only when entered and explored that the size and beautiful interior can be fully appreciated: it is a surprise for all the right reasons.Roof tops and chimney stacks The house is traditionally built with red brick walls, rustic chimney stacks, cross gabled roofs and contemporary window frames. Within the oak and glass portico, there is an oak seat and the thresholds have been kept and reused from the original farmhouse. Slate floors are used throughout, including the patio outside the living room.Yew Tree House is built on two levels and has a cellar. There are presently four bedrooms – two with ensuite- a large bathroom, two reception rooms, a separate shower room and a generous open plan kitchen/ dinning/ living space. The house is tastefully decorated using coordinated features and materials of the highest specification. It is in a quiet location as Shearsby is reached from a branch road off the main A5199 and avoids through traffic. This is a delightful residence that has been cared for and nurtured to exacting standards and richly benefits from the rural charm of its position.Extended and improved to exacting standardsUndeniably, the house is impressively large and individual. On entry into the dining room, cottage features remain and the focal point is the open fire place. The exposed brick chimney and integrated oak shelving compliment the exposed beams overhead and create a room that mingles traditional characteristics with a contemporary style. Light permeates the ground floor ahead, as doorways have been widened and the length of the house can be seen with views of the patio and garden. Here, the benefit of singularly using slate flooring is apparent as it links the areas and the overall impression is of space and a relaxed airiness.Next door, the snug is decorated in a similar style but has a log burner. It retains its door and provides a cosy, private retreat away from the openness of the extended rear parts of the house: a perfect place to read in or watch the television. The hall crosses the house from the shower room to the right and the staircase to the left. The staircase is a bespoke fusion of steel, glass and French oak treads. It appears to float between levels and is cast in light from the thermal translucent glass block wall it rises against. The staircase leads to the cellar beneath the house which is suitable for storage and above to the first floor landing, where a feature beam runs along the width of the house and displays lighting. Directly opposite the staircase, a shower room is fitted with walk in shower, vanity unit and toilet. This enables the snug to be used as a fifth ground floor bedroom with convenient bathing facilities, if required. The bathing facilities throughout Yew Tree House are modern, stylish and well maintained. White suites are complimented with tiling to floors and walls, and high quality fixtures and fittings are standard. A modern living space with a focus on relaxed entertainingStepping down into the kitchen from the hall, the impressive open plan living space is organised into purposeful zones. The kitchen has an individually designed island for informal dining and a very large lounge area, presently arranged to benefit from a media wall and a wall corner log burner. Floor to ceiling translucent panes of glass along two elevations begin here – the master bedroom suite is immediately above – and full height bifolding doors that open onto a secluded patio area. The central island houses an induction hob, a sink with boiling water tap and waste bin cupboard. A curved Corian worktop provides seating for eight people and a full height wall of cupboards includes a small pantry area. Further worktops permit food preparation and spaces for equipment while integrated appliances such as a fridge freezer and eye level electric oven and steam oven are also included. A wine rack, two large larder cupboards, a double door cupboard for coats and a feature bookcase made from French oak includes two large cutlery drawers and completes the designer kitchen.A separate utility/laundry room is accessed along a glass corridor and provides additional room for grocery or appliance requirements. It is fitted with a sink unit, cupboards and plumbing for a washing machine and condensing tumble dryer. There is a separate toilet and hand basin next door. To the side of the patio outside of the living room, the corridor presents as a wall of glazed glass and hides the rooms within but means that the facilities are within easy reach. This corridor leads to the double garage which is currently used as a gym. It has an alcove suitable for a fridge and freezer, and hooks for coats. Electrically operated garage doors allow its original use to be recommissioned but a single steel side door equally permits other options. To the first floor and views of the gardenThere are four double, carpeted bedrooms on the first floor. The master suite to the rear, has patio doors opening onto a balcony. This permits views over the sedum roof of the garage/gym and garden beyond. It is a particularly luxurious room and has a vaulted ceiling, a fully glazed gable end and a pair of integrated wardrobes. Its large ensuite has spiralled glass partitioning, a walk in shower, toilet and vanity unit. The bedroom across the landing shares similar views, while bedroom three is to the front. This double aspect room looks to the village green, renowned for its preservation as an original feature of the village landscape and protected by residential ownership to remain unchanged. The remaining fourth bedroom is fitted with integral wardrobes and has an ensuite consisting of walk in shower, toilet and vanity unit. The substantial family bathroom is equipped with a large quadrant shower and corner bath, vanity unit and toilet. As with many aspects of this property, the bathing facilities have been totally renewed, redecorated and accessorised to a high specification providing beautifully designed rooms with white suites, contemporary lighting and pristine tiling. All curtains, light fittings and carpets on all levels are included within the sale of this property. Wander through the gardenThe garden is another beautiful asset of Yew Tree House. From the roadside it would be difficult to appreciate the length of its plot or the variation of the landscaping included. It is well stocked with herbaceous borders and specimen trees, including a white mulberry, laburnum and many acers. An artificial turf lawn, patios and walk ways have been incorporated, and a bridge leads over a natural pond to the largest southwest facing patio and barbecue area. The dining area looks back to views of the village and there is a hot tub. Beyond this partitioned space, a shaded garden leads to a further vegetable garden with raised beds, a fruit cage, cold frames, a green house and sheds. Location The beautiful village of Shearsby is set in the South Leicestershire countryside approximately 9 miles South of Leicester and equidistance to Lutterworth and the medieval market town of Market Harborough, which both provide extensive facilities and a range of independent boutique shopping, restaurants, bars and hotels as well as supermarkets including a Waitrose. Recreational activities are plentiful for all age groups with nearby golf courses including Ullesthorpe, Lutterworth, Market Harborough, and Kilworth Springs. Situated between the two towns is the innovative Kilworth open-air theatre set under sail-like canopies within the grounds of Kilworth House Hotel.Although protected as a Conservation Area, Shearsby is by no means dormant – it is a lively, active and busy community with the Village Green, the Old School House converted into the village hall, St Mary Magdalene Church and The Chandlers Public House forming the heart of the village.The area boasts an excellent standard of schools, with the local primary schools at both Arnesby and nearby Gilmorton. As well as a good range of state secondary schools in nearby Lutterworth, private schooling is available nearby at Rugby School and Leicester Grammar School (Great Glen).

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.
