Desford LE9 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 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. 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.

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.

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.

A truly exceptional and lovingly crafted bespoke residence, set on one of Leicestershire's most coveted addresses. 77 Gartree Road is not simply a house. It is the product of an uncompromising vision, rebuilt from the ground up to an extraordinary standard that rarely presents itself to the open market. From the moment the electric gates part, the scale, quality and presence of this remarkable home become immediately apparent. Extending to approximately 6,730 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation across three floors, this is a home conceived for modern family life without compromise. Seven bedrooms, five en suite shower rooms, a separate family bathroom, and a dedicated ground floor WC and boot room upon arrival. The configuration is as considered as the specification is impressive. Ground Floor Arrival is through a substantial entrance hall measuring almost 33 feet in length, an immediately commanding space that sets the tone for everything that follows. To the left, a generous lounge spanning over 19 feet by 17 feet provides a refined retreat, while the ground floor bedroom with its own en suite offers ideal flexibility for guests, extended family or multigenerational living. A separate sitting room, utility room, boot room and WC complete the practical ground floor offering. At the heart of the home sits the extraordinary family room, a vast open plan space measuring an impressive 25 by 33 feet, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen which stretches to over 22 feet in width. This is the true engine room of the house, a space designed for the way families actually live: gathering, cooking, entertaining and relaxing under one roof, filled with natural light and anchored by the spectacular two metre gas fireplace. Air conditioning ensures comfort throughout the seasons. The integral double garage with automatic door connects directly to the home and measures a generous 19 by 17 feet. One of the final touches remaining is the kitchen, presenting the new owner with a blank canvas to create the bespoke kitchen space of their dreams within an otherwise turnkey home. First Floor The American walnut staircase with wrought iron spindles rises to a truly spectacular landing, an expansive space at almost 32 by 35 feet, bathed in natural light through feature windows and providing a genuine sense of architectural occasion rarely found in residential property. Six bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, each beautifully proportioned. Two principal bedroom suites each benefit from their own dedicated dressing room and private en suite, including one suite where the dressing room extends to over 10 feet by 17 feet. A further bedroom enjoys its own en suite, while two additional double bedrooms share a luxuriously appointed family bathroom. Every bathroom is finished with Porcelanosa porcelain tiling, Geberit flush systems and Pelipal vanity units with integrated LED lighting. Second Floor A seventh bedroom occupies the second floor alongside a WC and store room, creating a wonderfully private and versatile space. Perfect as a teenager's retreat, a home office suite, or a self contained guest room away from the main household. Specification Throughout the home, the specification has been assembled with exceptional care. Graspania porcelain tiles cover the ground floor. Triple glazed windows feature throughout. Underfloor heating runs across both ground and first floors with individual room thermostats. Three phase electricity supply and CAT 6 cabling in every room future proof the property for generations. The smart home system brings app controlled lighting, electric blinds, intercom and cameras together in one seamless platform. A comprehensive CCTV system with panic buttons and an app controlled alarm provide unrivalled security and peace of mind. Solid wall construction with full cavity insulation underpins the EPC B rating, a genuine reflection of the quality and integrity of the build. Infrastructure is already in place, including hot and cold water, gas and drainage connections, for a future annexe or outbuilding should further space ever be desired. Outside, the gardens have been landscaped to create a generous yet manageable private space, perfectly suited to family life and outdoor entertaining. Location Gartree Road is one of Oadby's most prestigious and sought after tree lined roads, widely regarded as among the finest addresses in the LE2 postcode and synonymous with substantial, high quality family homes of real standing. The University of Leicester Botanic Garden, 16 acres of beautifully cultivated grounds founded in 1921, sits within easy reach, providing a remarkable green space and a place of quiet beauty on the doorstep. Leicester Racecourse, Parklands Leisure Centre and Glen Gorse Golf Club are also close by, providing excellent leisure and recreational variety for the whole family. Oadby town centre on The Parade offers a great range of shops including Sainsbury's, Asda and Lidl, alongside pubs, restaurants and everyday conveniences. The fashionable independent boutiques, cafés and restaurants of Allandale Road and Francis Street in nearby Stoneygate are equally accessible, providing a more boutique daily experience. For families, the schooling on offer is exceptional. Leicester Grammar School, Leicester High School for Girls, Stoneygate School and Beauchamp College are all within easy reach, alongside Gartree High School and Manor High School within Oadby itself. Leicester city centre is less than three miles away, and Leicester Railway Station provides direct services to London St Pancras in just over an hour, making this an outstanding choice for commuters seeking space and quality without sacrificing connectivity. The A6, A563 ring road and M1 are all readily accessible. This is a home of rare ambition, executed without compromise, in a location that needs no introduction. Opportunities of this calibre on Gartree Road are extraordinarily scarce.
