House Cosby (United Kingdom)
Notably contemporary Located within the south Leicestershire village of Cosby, this house sitting on a third of an acre of ground, has been redesigned to maximise its potential. Containing over 3,000 square feet of interior space, it easily fulfils contemporary expectations for a bespoke executive property. Originally constructed during the 1940s, it has been the project of the present homeowner for ten years, with a complete renovation and extension beginning in October 2020 and a total rewiring in 2023. The resulting transformation is an outstanding detached house that along with many other features, provides three reception rooms, a spacious kitchen and breakfast diner, and a ground floor guest suite with five large double bedrooms across the first floor. Established residential area The house is located within a quiet residential area of similarly unique, characterful properties and benefits from little traffic by being atop a cul de sac. Kerb appeal is immediate. It is fronted by an open plan arrangement of paving, discreet planting and a wide drive that winds to the front and side. It is undoubtably a statement property. Characterful features include an intersecting and overlaid hip and valley roof, with dormer windows and an impressive apex window. Anthracite window frames and white rendered walls create expectations of a modern interior, as everything about the exterior-including the new roof complete with replacement fascia, soffits and guttering- establishes the impression of sharp, clean structural lines. This is enforced by the symmetry of the open weather porch, shielding a composite front door, and matched with a pair of translucent glass panels. Vehicular access is unhindered and there is ample parking.

House Broughton Astley (United Kingdom)
Established and private The White House is elegantly bordered by landscaped gardens that create a spacious half an acre of grounds surrounding the property, set well back from Cosby Road in the popular village of Broughton Astley. This house is an imposing detached property in a central location that provides a generous home in each and every aspect. If you are looking for a large detached house with open countryside close by but equally convenient access to major transport networks, look no further, you have found it! This is your opportunity to purchase a beautifully renovated house in a prime position that maintains the air of an established home. It offers seclusion and privacy, a new roof (fitted in 2025) and generously sized rooms including: four reception rooms, a kitchen diner, five double bedrooms-two with en-suites, a utility room, two shower rooms, family bathroom and a heated indoor swimming pool, fitted in July 2022. There is a generous feel about this home and this is initiated with the width and layout of the front garden. Not only does this area give a safe and wide boundary from the road, it provides a substantial double gated driveway for vehicles to enter and exit without needing to turn around. The block paved drive sweeps up to the front of the property around a semi-circle planted bed of established trees and shrubs, bordered by planting and newly replaced fencing on all sides. Contemporary Canted bay windows, graphite grey frames and white render, with a chimney stack rising above an open gabled roof: these features combine in the initial view of The White House. It is a large property and has been extended to provide a unique layout. There are two matching composite front doors in a modern design. The first allows immediate, independent entry into the left side of the house where a lengthy utility room is alongside the open kitchen/diner. The second front door is the main entrance point and is framed by a columned portico, above which a balcony is accessed from one of the largest bedrooms through French doors. Once inside the entrance hall, the fresh neutral colour palette for the entire interior decoration of the house is clearly seen: muted greys, fresh whites and occasionally a contrasting darker shade of blue or black, creates a coordinated scheme. The White House has been completely rewired and has had a new heating system fitted, including three combination boilers. This has meant that everywhere has been redecorated, and in this process internal flooring and doors were replaced. The property has full 360 degree CCTV, air conditioning and a security system - fitted in September 2022 - which can be operated remotely through a mobile phone. Spacious and inviting The main entrance hall has hard flooring. It is an uncluttered, welcoming space, filled with light and featuring a white spindled, carpeted staircase with storage. White framed, multi glass paned doors provide entrances into the snug, lounge and lastly the kitchen/diner. The snug has double glass doors and an inviting view of the garden. The flooring here, is identical to the hall and kitchen. Although a separate room, the areas sympathetically flow together to immediately create an impression of size and space. Similarly, the lounge benefits from dual aspect windows and is generously proportioned. This room is carpeted and provides a flame effect feature fire below the wall mounted television. Furniture can be imaginatively used to zone the areas and presently a formal dining table has been placed to appreciate the garden views while eating. It is through double doors that the next combination of rooms open to provide a games room, gym, shower room and fully heated swimming pool. The games room comfortably holds a full sized snooker table, which comes complete with the property. It is next door to a room used as a gym, shower room and plant room for the pool. The pool is less than 2 years old and has four bi-folding doors opening onto the privacy of the patio. Measuring from three feet to six feet at its greatest depth, it is a luxurious addition to the house and has its own convenient shower room only a few steps away. It is worth noting that if ground floor accommodation is required, the room used as a gym could easily become another bedroom or office space. It has a side door for independent access. The kitchen hub The island kitchen/diner is as coordinated a component of this house as any other of the beautifully spacious rooms. The White House is very much the blue print for comfortable, contemporary living and the kitchen is designed to be practical and easy on the eye. Subtle lighting, splash back underground tiling, a run of black granite worktops and light grey units at floor and wall level with smooth brushed steel handles, provide a great space to prepare food and relax with family and friends. A further cosy area is tucked to the side and is ideal for a dining table, with double doors opening into the rear garden, linking indoor and outdoor spaces together. The kitchen has integrated appliances: oven, extractor fan, fridge, and dishwasher. There is ample space for free standing appliances too and the utility room to the right is fitted with further storage and plumbing for laundry appliances. Adjacent to this, there is a second shower room, conveniently providing bathing facilities at either end of the house. A selection of beautiful bedrooms The spacious feel of this impressive house is now continued as you move upstairs. The stairs lead to a carpeted, upper floor landing. This property provides five generous double bedrooms, well maintained and fitted with carpets and (with the one exception) white bespoke wardrobes. The two largest rooms easily qualify as master suites, having en-suites, French doors and ample space for bedroom furniture. For clarity, the prime suite over the swimming pool has dual aspect windows, a unit at the foot of the bed storing a fitted TV, and an en-suite comprising of double basins, toilet, Jacuzzi bath, heated towel rail and tiles to floor and walls. The family bathroom comprises of a toilet, wall suspended sink unit, walk in shower, free standing bath with central tap, integrated mirror and towel rail, with wall to ceiling tiles. The last en-suite is attached to the bedroom over the kitchen and has similarly fitted high quality bathing facilities, with double vanity unit, glass fronted storage, walk in shower, toilet, towel rail and tiling. Fixtures, tiling and accessories have been fitted and maintained to a very high standard throughout The White House. The family friendly garden A large patio area closest to the house has an open gazebo structure, providing shade and the perfect place to eat and relax outside. Beyond, the expanse of lawn is perfect for team games or for further landscaping, as the size of the plot provides the wonderful opportunity for choice. It is a valuable and generous component, which perfectly frames this bespoke home.

House 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 standards Undeniably, 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 entertaining Stepping 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 garden There 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 garden The 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.

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. Directly opposite the property sits one of the area's most treasured assets. The University of Leicester Botanic Garden is a destination in its own right, drawing visitors from across the county and beyond to experience 16 acres of breathtaking grounds that change with every season. To have this on your doorstep, to watch it bloom and transform through spring, summer, autumn and winter, is one of those quiet privileges that only the fortunate few who live here truly understand. Victoria Park is equally close, offering open green space, weekend recreation and a wonderful sense of room to breathe. Glebe Road sits at the heart of Oadby, one of the most distinguished residential addresses in the East Midlands. This is a neighbourhood defined by sweeping tree-lined avenues, handsome period architecture and a strong, established community that has long attracted professionals, academics and families who value both quality of life and convenience. For families with children, the educational offering in this area is outstanding. Leicester High School for Girls, Leicester Grammar School and Stoneygate School are all within easy reach, alongside a number of excellent state schools, making this one of the most sought-after catchments in the region. The independent shops, restaurants and cafes of Stoneygate and Allandale Road offer refined everyday living, while the city centre, including the Curve Theatre, the Golden Mile and Leicester Market, is only minutes away by car. The Oadby Parade is just a short drive, offering the M&S Food Hall, independent boutiques and a wonderful selection of cafes and restaurants. The villages of Great Glen, Kibworth and the wider Harborough district are all within easy reach for those who enjoy the Leicestershire countryside on their doorstep. For commuters and those who travel frequently, the location is exceptionally well connected. Leicester railway station is just a short drive away and offers direct services to London St Pancras in approximately one hour. The M1 and M69 motorways are both easily accessible, providing fast and straightforward connections across the region, and East Midlands Airport is approximately 20 miles away. Properties like The Hawthorns do not come to the market often. When they do, the right buyer recognises immediately that what they are looking at cannot be replicated, rebuilt or replaced. This is a home with a soul, a history stretching back over a century and a future waiting to be written by someone who truly appreciates what they have found.

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. Location Knighton Grange Road is one of Oadby’s most sought-after residential addresses, known for substantial private homes, mature surroundings and excellent access to local amenities. Oadby itself offers a superb range of shops, cafés, restaurants, schools, leisure facilities and everyday conveniences, while nearby Stoneygate, Knighton and Leicester city centre provide further lifestyle and professional amenities. The area is particularly well regarded by families, with access to highly respected schooling, open green spaces, golf clubs, the University of Leicester Botanic Garden and Leicester Racecourse. For commuters, the location is excellent. The A6 provides direct access towards Leicester city centre and Market Harborough, while the outer ring road connects easily to the M1, M69 and wider Midlands motorway network.
