House with garden and terrace Oadby (United Kingdom)
A truly exceptional and lovingly crafted bespoke residence, set on one of Leicestershire's most coveted addresses. 77 Gartree Road is not simply a house. It is the product of an uncompromising vision, rebuilt from the ground up to an extraordinary standard that rarely presents itself to the open market. From the moment the electric gates part, the scale, quality and presence of this remarkable home become immediately apparent. Extending to approximately 6,730 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation across three floors, this is a home conceived for modern family life without compromise. Seven bedrooms, five en suite shower rooms, a separate family bathroom, and a dedicated ground floor WC and boot room upon arrival. The configuration is as considered as the specification is impressive. Ground Floor Arrival is through a substantial entrance hall measuring almost 33 feet in length, an immediately commanding space that sets the tone for everything that follows. To the left, a generous lounge spanning over 19 feet by 17 feet provides a refined retreat, while the ground floor bedroom with its own en suite offers ideal flexibility for guests, extended family or multigenerational living. A separate sitting room, utility room, boot room and WC complete the practical ground floor offering. At the heart of the home sits the extraordinary family room, a vast open plan space measuring an impressive 25 by 33 feet, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen which stretches to over 22 feet in width. This is the true engine room of the house, a space designed for the way families actually live: gathering, cooking, entertaining and relaxing under one roof, filled with natural light and anchored by the spectacular two metre gas fireplace. Air conditioning ensures comfort throughout the seasons. The integral double garage with automatic door connects directly to the home and measures a generous 19 by 17 feet. One of the final touches remaining is the kitchen, presenting the new owner with a blank canvas to create the bespoke kitchen space of their dreams within an otherwise turnkey home.

Vendor’s Perspective “We chose this house in 1978 after viewing numerous properties across the area, but this one stood apart. Its character, quality of workmanship and solid construction immediately caught our attention; more importantly, it simply felt like home. The house was originally commissioned for Sir Nicholas and Lady Margaret Corah, members of one of Leicester’s most prominent families. The Corah textile business once employed more than 6,000 people, and the house reflects the stature and quality one would expect of a residence created for such a distinguished family. It was designed and built by one of the finest architects and craftsmen of its time, with an attention to detail that is increasingly difficult to find today. Its position on one of the area’s finest tree-lined roads was another important part of its appeal. The mature trees surrounding the house provide exceptional privacy and seclusion, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of a busy day. The location was equally attractive, with convenient access to London Road, Leicester railway station, the ring road and motorway network. Our children’s schools were nearby, while many of our friends and family already lived in the area, making it the perfect place in which to raise our family. Over the years, we have grown to appreciate the house even more. Its solid doors, beautiful wood panelling, generous proportions and character features are reminders of a time when homes were built with exceptional materials and craftsmanship. There is a solidity, warmth and sense of permanence here that is very difficult to replicate. For us, this has always been much more than a house. It has been the backdrop to almost five decades of happy memories. Its remarkable combination of character, craftsmanship, privacy, beautiful surroundings and outstanding location makes it a very special home—one we hope its next owners will enjoy and cherish just as much as we have.” The Location Knighton Grange Road is regarded as one of Oadby’s finest residential addresses, characterised by substantial individual homes, generous plots and mature surroundings. Oadby offers an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with access to highly regarded state and independent schools. Stoneygate, Knighton, Leicester Racecourse, the University of Leicester Botanic Garden and the green open spaces of Victoria Park are all within convenient reach. The A6 provides straightforward access to Leicester city centre and Market Harborough, while the A563 Ring Road connects with the M1, M69 and wider motorway network. Leicester railway station offers direct rail services to London St Pancras International, making the property particularly well placed for business and leisure travel. A Rare Opportunity A home of genuine presence and provenance, this remarkable property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period residence on one of the area’s most prestigious roads. Its exceptional craftsmanship, generous accommodation and private grounds combine to create a home of enduring distinction. Viewing is essential to appreciate its scale, atmosphere and timeless appeal.
