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.

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.

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). The historic village of Husbands Bosworth, is a thriving village, lying at crossroads, roughly equidistant from Leicester and Northampton and also from the towns of Market Harborough and Lutterworth. With mainline rail links to London from Market Harborough and Rugby, and major roads, M1, M6 and A14 within easy reach, the village and surrounding area, has proven popular with commuters. The village itself features a well-regarded primary school, mini-supermarket/post-office, doctors surgery, dental practice, public house and recreational facilities. Bosworth House is not simply large; it is considered. It offers the rare combination of architectural presence, modern comfort and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated. Represented by Charlie Sylvanus-Jones By Design Homes Market Harborough, this is a property for those who recognise quality and true luxury, instinctively.

Stately and tranquil Within the conservation area of Church Lane, in the charming Leicestershire village of Desford, The Old Rectory is located behind an imposing brick wall, sitting in private grounds boarded by mature trees and gardens. Originally built in the 18th century, this impressive period property has had Edwardian renovations and as its name suggests, has been intrinsically linked to the history of its neighbour, St Martin’s parish church. The house and grounds have been the place of church fetes and social gatherings for decades. In 1981 it became a private residence, and the present owners have lived in the house since 2016, continuing to maintain original characteristics and add sympathetic features of the twenty-first century to enhance and improve the property.

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. There is 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.

The primary bedroom is a generous and serene retreat with bespoke fitted wardrobes, and the main bathroom features a freestanding copper William Holland bath as its showpiece, complemented by custom vanity and panelling joinery that would not look out of place in a boutique hotel. The second floor offers a further generous bedroom with its own bathroom and private hallway, perfect for guests, teenagers or an au pair, with a genuine sense of independence from the rest of the house. Basement The substantial cellar adds a further and genuinely exciting dimension to this home. Whether you have in mind a home cinema, gym, wine cellar or games room, the space is there and waiting.

Professionally landscaped and exceptionally private, it features mature beech and oak trees, a natural limestone patio, a raised veranda, contemporary planting and beautifully maintained lawn stretching well beyond what you might expect. A brick built workshop with power and a wood burning stove sits to one side, and the far end of the garden offers real potential for further development, subject to planning. Security and Technology Eight camera 4k hardwired CCTV with 24/7 local recording, commercial grade Ubiquiti WiFi access points throughout, and a UPS battery backup system mean this home is as well-equipped behind the scenes as it is in front of them.

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.

With its gated approach, nearly 1.8-acre plot, Grade II listed rear wing, substantial newer accommodation, indoor heated swimming pool, self-contained guest wing, extensive garaging and superb leisure spaces, it represents one of the most distinctive private residences to come to the Oadby market. A house created for family, entertaining and legacy — grand in scale, private in setting and deeply individual in character.

The Hawthorns is a masterpiece of Edwardian architecture, built in 1906 and standing as one of the finest and most characterful residences in one of Oadby's most coveted addresses. 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 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.
