House with garden Leicester (United Kingdom)
Few homes in the East Midlands command the presence, scale, and quiet sophistication of Lion House. Discreetly positioned behind private gates along the prestigious Stoughton Lane, this extraordinary five-bedroom country residence offers over 4,500 sq ft of refined accommodation across three floors — a home where architectural elegance, considered design, and rare development potential converge in one of Leicestershire's most coveted addresses.An Arrival That Sets the Tone: The gated approach and mature grounds create an immediate sense of arrival. A beautifully framed front porch — warmed by underfloor heating beneath parquet flooring and flanked by large picture windows — opens into a grand central entrance hall where the home's character asserts itself with quiet confidence. This is a home that rewards from the very first step inside.Principal Reception and Living Spaces:Designed for those who entertain with ease and live with intention, the open-plan kitchen and living area forms the true heart of Lion House. A substantial central island, generous proportions, and garden-facing doors create a seamless interplay between interior and exterior — perfect for curated gatherings or relaxed family living at the highest level.

Whether configured as a private cinema, fitness studio, creative atelier, or self-contained guest suite, this room alone elevates Lion House into a category of its own.The cellar level presents two generously proportioned rooms with excellent ceiling height — naturally suited to a prestige wine cellar, private gym, or recording studio.

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).

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.

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.
