House with garden Leicester (United Kingdom)
Renovations and improvements Newtown Grange Farmhouse is a home that has been restored and refurbished by its present owners over a period of ten years. The result is a distinguished property that combines heritage features and richly benefits from contemporary additions. It exemplifies a grand country estate property and is impressively set in its own grounds behind electric gates shielded from Desford Road. Grey rendered walls, multi paned sash windows and towering chimney stacks above a grey slated hip and valley roof, trigger the imaginative to wonder how many have seen and indeed visited this lovely property from its original construction in the 1800s. Through a series of renovations and improvements, this detached house offering five reception rooms and nine bedrooms over three floors has been sympathetically modernised for the 21st century by being thoroughly rewired (2015), installed with a central heating system and replacement windows. Within, the large rooms graced by natural light and Victorian features, have been plastered and decorated, and high quality integrated fixtures and fittings have enhanced the kitchen and bathing areas to add contemporary appeal. Newtown Grange Farmhouse is a home that has stood the test of time while preserving its architecture and appearance as an integral feature within the hamlet of Newtown Unthank. Situated six miles west of Leicester, here, you have a rare opportunity to invest in a house in an idyllic rural location that offers privacy and style, whilst enjoying the convenience of being only a short drive away from bustling towns – Market Bosworth or Desford - or further afield, to access major transport links to anywhere in the country from this central England location. Character and style Sitting on just under an acre of land, the house is approached through electrically operated gates and the driveway sweeps up to and across the front of the property. It is enclosed and landscaped with borders and planting, leading to a quadruple sized, detached garage, supplied with electricity. There is ample space for turning and parking, and when light fades, there are several outside lights with motion sensors for additional security and safety. The front entrance is through a glass door with semi-circular fanlight, mirrored by another window above the panelled mahogany interior door. High ceilings, classically inspired encaustic pavement and border tiling, dado railing and deep skirting boards create a powerful first impression. The Victorian reception hall was meant to establish the nature of the home and this one, wide and tall, is the central channel for the property, with reception rooms to the left and right. A magnificent galleried staircase is the focal point. It is an original, bespoke feature of the house. Made from mahogany, the embossed newel posts, handrail and carved balusters take the eye to the ceilings above where natural light cascades through the skylight. The staircase is carpeted and as elsewhere in the house, all carpets have been replaced. Beneath and behind the stairs and within a separate back hall, a separate door provides access to the cellar. This is a very large space and provides excellent provision for storage, having also been included in the renovation project and fit for purpose. An abundance of reception rooms and a ground floor bedroom suite Newtown Grange Farmhouse is a house with possibilities and options. There are five spacious, beautifully decorated reception rooms and their designated title and purpose is totally a matter of taste and preference. As standard, high ceilings with coving and central light fixtures, deep skirting boards and picture rails dividing plainly painted walls, emphasise the size and beauty of the large windows and airy rooms. From the reception hall, panelled mahogany doors open into the games room, lounge and sitting room. All of them are carpeted and have dual aspects looking into the grounds. In addition to the radiators, there are open fireplaces in each and in the snug. They are quite distinctive and have a range of hearths, mantel shelves and adornments. This abundance of independent but equally luxurious space would allow privacy if separate lounges are required. Likewise, the rooms could be altered to provide a study, library, office or playroom. The sitting room has French doors and access to a private lobby from where the downstairs bedroom suite is reached: a door to the left revealing a shower room and a door to the right opening into a large double bedroom with dual aspect views overlooking the garden. The shower room consists of a walk in shower with tiling to floor and walls, a hand basin and toilet. It has been designed to permit its valuable use as an ensuite bathroom but the inclusion of the dividing lobby means the room could serve many purposes. The cosy snug can be entered from either the games room or back hall. It has exposed beams, a laminate flooring and is next door to a downstairs cloakroom, consisting of a toilet and hand basin. As with all bathing facilities in this prestigious property, the quality, fitting and style of fixtures is to a high specification, with coordinating tiles and flooring. Lastly, the fifth reception room is the dining room. This is reached from the back hall and is in between the boiler room (also accessible from the downstairs bedroom) and kitchen. The room has delightful views into the garden through French doors that open onto a patio. Food preparation The kitchen has been completely refurbished to contemporary specifications. The bespoke arrangement of medium oak cabinetry for storage, quartz work tops for food preparation and integrated appliances – the dishwasher and ovens are included in the sale - have been cleverly arranged around a central island unit. The whole area is carefully styled and designed for practicality. A double sink unit is beneath one window while another reveals garden views. Flooring identical to the snug has been used here and splashback tiles in coordinating shades of grey and white compliment the contemporary neutrality of the room. The first and second floor bedrooms The first floor galleried landing is a fine feature of the property and re-emphasises the prestigious architectural merits of the building. On this floor there are six very large bedrooms, two of which have ensuite bathrooms and a separate family bathroom with shower cubicle. The second floor has two more spacious bedrooms and another separate shower room. Each of the bedrooms are generously proportioned and share similar qualities such as coordinating carpets and exposed beams. They also have distinctive features including fitted storage, fireplaces and outlooks. They have been decorated tastefully and maintained to a high standard of presentation. And to the garden Newtown Grange Farmhouse has an attractive, well maintained walled garden, with greenhouses, a large lawn, established fruit trees and plants of many varieties. The generous nature of the grounds beautifully compliments the house and adds its own special charm. LOCALITY Newtown Unthank is a hamlet. By definition the word ‘hamelet’ is often applied to a satellite of a larger settlement. To provide relevant locality information, the larger village of Desford has been focussed upon. Desford 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 was based around the open fields system of agriculture predating the Norman Conquest. In 1767 the Enclosure Act forced the predominantly farming community to become invested with industrial economics, namely framework knitting. 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 but continued to be used for freight including the transportation of coal from the Desford Pit until it too closed in 1984. Members of the Desford Historical Society have erected a half winding wheel on Lindridge Lane as 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. Although it has existed for centuries, this large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, (Sport in Desford Clubhouse with new Scout hut and tennis courts) education and leisure amenities. There are an array of shops, a library, cafes, a pharmacy and parks. Public houses include The Lancaster close to the old railway station and the Bluebell Inn in the village centre. For more details this site may help: https://www.desford-pc.gov.uk For those requiring primary schools, Desford has its own: Desford Primary School. Wider afield secondary education can be found in Market Bosworth, Countesthorpe, and Lutterworth or at Leicester Grammar.

Contemporary house with pool and garden Leicester (United Kingdom)
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. A large glazed frontage draws natural light deep into the home, while the central staircase rises beautifully ahead, splitting at the landing with marble steps and solid oak beyond. This central hall acts as the heart of the house, connecting the principal reception rooms, family living areas, guest wing and indoor swimming pool complex. A cloakroom and study are positioned nearby, providing everyday convenience and a quiet place to work from home. The Front Reception Wing To the right of the entrance hall is a superb principal lounge, a wonderfully impressive yet comfortable room with air conditioning and a decked balcony overlooking the front pond. This is a room designed for calm, conversation and evening light, with the balcony creating a peaceful outlook across the private frontage. Also accessed from the main hallway is a formal dining room with underfloor heating and direct garden access. Elegant and generously proportioned, it is perfectly suited to family celebrations, dinner parties and more formal entertaining. The Kitchen, Dining & Family Wing The open-plan kitchen and dining area forms the natural everyday heart of the home. Substantial in scale and beautifully connected to both the gardens and swimming pool area, it is designed for family life on a grand level. 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. This wing has a wonderful sense of independence, making it ideal for visiting family, older children, guests or live-in support. 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. The whole house appears to revolve around this exceptional space, with doors connecting it to the kitchen wing, guest wing, main hallway and rear courtyard. The pool area is fully enclosed, underfloor heated and offers generous relaxation space around the poolside. The heated pool also features a counter-current swim system, allowing one to swim against the current for exercise and training. Whether used for fitness, family enjoyment or entertaining, this is a rare and luxurious addition that elevates the home far beyond the ordinary. First Floor – Principal Family Bedroom Wing The central staircase rises to a dramatic galleried landing, with a large window overlooking the swimming pool area. From here, the first floor divides naturally into two wings. To the right is the principal family bedroom wing, comprising five bedrooms. The master bedroom suite is a substantial private retreat, featuring a dressing room, modern en-suite bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and separate shower, and a balcony overlooking the front pond. Three further bedrooms are generous doubles and benefit from their own en-suite facilities, while the fifth bedroom is also well proportioned and served by a family bathroom. Bedrooms two, three, four and five benefit from air conditioning, enhancing comfort throughout the warmer months. A secondary staircase from this wing leads back down towards the kitchen hallway, creating a practical and convenient flow through the house. First Floor – Self-Contained Guest Wing To the left of the galleried landing is the self-contained guest accommodation, overlooking the guest hall below. This area includes an open-plan kitchen and lounge, guest bedroom accommodation and dressing space. There is also access down to the guest lounge below, allowing the wing to function independently from the main family bedrooms. This arrangement is ideal for extended family, guests, teenagers, staff accommodation or those seeking a more independent living space within the home. Outside, Grounds & Outbuildings The property sits centrally within nearly 1.8 acres, with gardens, driveway space and mature planting wrapping around the house to create a wonderful sense of privacy. To the front, electric gates with intercom open to a sweeping private driveway, with a lawned area to one side and a pond feature overlooked by the balcony from the main lounge and principal bedroom suite. There is also provision for water and electricity to create a central fountain feature on the main drive, should a future owner wish to further enhance the approach. A second gated access leads to extensive side parking, a patio area, additional lawn and a tarmac driveway running towards the rear outbuildings. The outbuildings wrap around the property and include two double garages with electric shutters, a large workshop with WC, storage areas and further useful spaces. These buildings offer exceptional flexibility for car collectors, business owners, hobbyists or those requiring substantial secure storage. To the rear is a large vegetable garden area, while the gardens continue around the right-hand side of the property towards the front. Mature trees, established hedging and shrubbery provide privacy and a beautiful green backdrop throughout the seasons. A fully paved enclosed courtyard sits to the rear of the pool area, offering a sheltered sun trap and superb entertaining space. Large double doors connect this courtyard to the car porch, with access also to the boiler room.

Vendor’s Perspective “We chose this house in 1978 after viewing numerous properties across the area, but this one stood apart. Its character, quality of workmanship and solid construction immediately caught our attention; more importantly, it simply felt like home. The house was originally commissioned for Sir Nicholas and Lady Margaret Corah, members of one of Leicester’s most prominent families. The Corah textile business once employed more than 6,000 people, and the house reflects the stature and quality one would expect of a residence created for such a distinguished family. It was designed and built by one of the finest architects and craftsmen of its time, with an attention to detail that is increasingly difficult to find today. Its position on one of the area’s finest tree-lined roads was another important part of its appeal. The mature trees surrounding the house provide exceptional privacy and seclusion, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of a busy day. The location was equally attractive, with convenient access to London Road, Leicester railway station, the ring road and motorway network. Our children’s schools were nearby, while many of our friends and family already lived in the area, making it the perfect place in which to raise our family. Over the years, we have grown to appreciate the house even more. Its solid doors, beautiful wood panelling, generous proportions and character features are reminders of a time when homes were built with exceptional materials and craftsmanship. There is a solidity, warmth and sense of permanence here that is very difficult to replicate. For us, this has always been much more than a house. It has been the backdrop to almost five decades of happy memories. Its remarkable combination of character, craftsmanship, privacy, beautiful surroundings and outstanding location makes it a very special home—one we hope its next owners will enjoy and cherish just as much as we have.” The Location Knighton Grange Road is regarded as one of Oadby’s finest residential addresses, characterised by substantial individual homes, generous plots and mature surroundings. Oadby offers an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with access to highly regarded state and independent schools. Stoneygate, Knighton, Leicester Racecourse, the University of Leicester Botanic Garden and the green open spaces of Victoria Park are all within convenient reach. The A6 provides straightforward access to Leicester city centre and Market Harborough, while the A563 Ring Road connects with the M1, M69 and wider motorway network. Leicester railway station offers direct rail services to London St Pancras International, making the property particularly well placed for business and leisure travel. A Rare Opportunity A home of genuine presence and provenance, this remarkable property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period residence on one of the area’s most prestigious roads. Its exceptional craftsmanship, generous accommodation and private grounds combine to create a home of enduring distinction. Viewing is essential to appreciate its scale, atmosphere and timeless appeal.
