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.

SUN HOUSEOriginally commissioned and constructed in 1937 for a local business owner, the design of Sun House was undertaken by award-winning architect Raymond Myerscough-Walker. Known for his architecture, Raymond was also a talented perspectivist, painter and sculptor. The influence of this wealth of creativity is evident throughout the design of property and its importance to historical England is recognised by its Grade 2 star listing – an accolade reserved for homes of true distinction. Since its conception, Sun House has gone on to feature in many books on modernist architecture as well as being listed in 2005 in The Independent’s Top Ten Modern UK Homes. Enjoyed by only 3 previous owners, it is evident that Sun House is not just a property of impressive design, but also a property which has been thoroughly enjoyed as a family home. THE ACCOMMODATIONAs you would expect from the name, one of the key design considerations to Sun House is maximising the light gained from its elevated position and fantastic predominantly south-facing orientation. As soon as you enter the house you start to appreciate the considerations taken to maximise this light, as well as the plethora of original features that can be found throughout the property. The ground floor offers spacious and practically arranged accommodation to suit family living with accommodation, in brief, comprising of: entrance lobby, an open dining reception hall, formal living room with an incredible semi-circular glazed aspect overlooking the gardens, kitchen offering a tasteful blend modern fitments and appliances as well as traditional cabinet integrated through granite worktops, WC/ cloaks, generous understairs store and an externally accessed utility area. The first floor is accessed via a fabulous spiral staircase forming the spine of this home. Once on the landing, you can find 4 well-proportioned bedrooms which all enjoy lovely aspects, a family bathroom, separate WC and a truly impressive balcony area which offers ample space for lounging, dining and entertaining, all while enjoying the very special outlook. The crown jewel of the home is undoubtedly found on the second floor. Continuing up the main spiral staircase, at its top you are greeted by a glazed atrium with a phenomenal terrace wrapping around. Offering the most incredible 360-degree views over Nottinghamshire, it creates an additional area to sun lounge in privacy, relax or entertain. Views as expansive and unobstructed within greater Nottinghamshire are extremely rare to come by. GARDENS & GROUNDSEnclosed on all sides and set back from the road, Sun House enjoys circa two thirds of an acre of beautifully established and private grounds. Entered via private electric gated entrance, you are greeted by a long driveway flanked by hedgerows that run to the attractive frontage of the home where you’ll find ample off-street parking space as well as access to the detached double tandem garage. The remainder of the predominantly south facing gardens comprise of a number of sitting and dining areas, an array of raised beds, fruit bushes, specimen trees such as American Horse Chestnut, Twisted Hazel, Fig, and Magnolia, a large wildflower garden with orchard, formal lawns, pond, pergola, greenhouse, independent sauna with changing area, workshop to the rear of the garage, several storage sheds and more. It is, for sure, an area which needs to be seen to be appreciated and a true ‘gardeners’ haven’. GARDEN ROOMA more recent addition to the grounds is the spacious garden office, tucked away out of sight of the main house at the end of the wildflower garden. It’s an ideal space for people working from home or even a gym, and with the underfloor heating, sliding doors and sun deck, it is a great area that can be enjoyed all year round.

Some homes are simply lived in. This one has been truly loved. Set on one of Leicester's most coveted tree-lined roads in the heart of Western Park, 3 Westhill Road offers over 3,300 square feet of meticulously appointed accommodation across four floors, including a substantial cellar. This remarkable 1920s residence has been transformed to an exceptional standard whilst preserving and celebrating every original detail that makes it so special. Exterior and Approach The property makes an immediate impression, set back from the road behind a bespoke hardwood front door and a generous granite sett driveway with SUDS-compliant free-draining resin, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. Powered electric gates open onto a spacious courtyard, and an Ohme electric car charger is ready and waiting. A substantial gated side entrance runs the full length of the property, offering significant additional parking and genuine development potential, with previous planning permission having been granted for a bungalow at the foot of the garden, subject to a fresh application. Ground Floor From the moment you step inside, the quality and care invested in this home is impossible to miss. The generous entrance hall features solid oak herringbone parquet flooring, original 1920s internal doors and coving, and Farrow and Ball throughout, setting the tone for everything that follows. The spectacular open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room is the beating heart of this home and genuinely one of the finest spaces of its kind in the city. Flooded with natural light from triple glazed rooflights with remote controllable electric blinds, and framed by handmade bespoke hardwood patio doors opening directly onto the garden, this extraordinary room flows effortlessly from a beautifully fitted contemporary kitchen through to a generous dining space and a wonderfully relaxed sitting area. The custom kitchen features a 3.2 metre island, hidden pantry, integrated appliance garage, boiling water tap and a full suite of integrated appliances. A 10kw DEFRA approved log burner and bespoke media cabinetry with a 130 inch tab-tensioned projector screen complete a room that really does need to be seen in person to be fully understood. The original 1920s cornice work has been carefully matched in the new extension by a like-for-like modern replica, a small detail that speaks volumes about how this renovation has been approached. A beautifully appointed separate sitting room retains a stunning original period fireplace and bay window, with the herringbone parquet flooring continuing throughout. The dedicated study is a superb work from home space, with bespoke fitted bookcases floor to ceiling and carefully considered ambient lighting. A ground floor office provides further flexible space that could easily serve as a playroom, additional bedroom or hobby room depending on your needs. The boot room and WC are finished to the same exceptional standard as the rest of the home, featuring hand-crafted joinery, William Morris wallpaper, hidden storage and a separate laundry nook, where practicality and design sit comfortably side by side. A generous utility room completes the ground floor. First and Second Floors The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms and a stunning family bathroom that is quite simply one of the most beautiful rooms in the house. 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.
