Situated in a beautiful semi-rural position and set in around 8 acres of grounds, this immaculate country house boasts seven bedrooms, luxurious bathrooms, three reception rooms, a games room, and an orangery – all set over three floors.
It also benefits from an additional spice kitchen and a cellar, while outside, you’ll find a separate leisure complex, garage, storage rooms and a tennis court. In addition, the house has been fully re-wired and comes with new central heating, fireproof doors and CCTV.
The home is neutrally decorated to a stunning standard throughout, with bespoke features, high quality and contemporary fixtures and fittings, surround sound, electric blinds and curtains, and underfloor heating to the ground floor. You can also purchase the property fully furnished, so what you see is exactly what you get.
An Impressive Welcome:
Approaching by a shared but private and secluded driveway lined with a delightful avenue of trees, you’ll arrive at the beautiful red-brick exterior. The driveway leads to the front of the house, which has parking for several cars, and to a gated garage area with further parking.
Glazed double doors bring you into a bright and spacious lobby, with further double-glazed windows to both sides, glossy white floor tiles, and a corniced ceiling with recessed downlights, central lighting, and a handy storage cupboard.
From here, step through another set of glazed double doors into the impressive hallway, where a handsome wooden parquet floor draws your eye forward to the grand wood-panelled staircase as it winds its way to the first floor.
The hallway has immaculate white walls and beautifully detailed skirtings and door frames that match the part-dropped and corniced ceiling, with its downlights and centre lighting. Here in the hallway, as throughout, you will find quirky, contemporary radiators and low wall lights to illuminate the floor.
A door at the back of the hall leads to a downstairs cloakroom, which is beautifully tiled and appointed and features a free-standing cabinet with an inset sink. The rear of the property can be accessed past the cloakroom.
Relaxing and Entertaining:
From the hallway, take the first door to your left. Here, you’ll find a serene living room with smart white floor tiling and muted tones, while large windows make for a bright and airy entertaining space. Recessed downlights to the dropped ceiling combine with spot-lit alcoves to maximise ambience. At the same time, a fabulous chandelier and another quirky and contemporary radiator bring both elegance and a sense of fun to the room.
Just across the hall, the sitting room also oozes sleek and modern style. Boasting a gorgeous corniced and lattice-detailed ceiling, a lavish chandelier, and a mirrored chimney breast housing the recessed TV, opulence is guaranteed.
Meanwhile, a wide arched wall showcases the large bay window overlooking the front of the house, and two casement windows on each side of the mirrored chimney give pretty views over the terrace and side garden.
The games room lies just right of the stairs and features the same attention to detail, white floor tiles, a character fireplace with a large TV above and a double-glazed door into the orangery. Oversized is the word to use here, and if you don’t require a games room, why not repurpose the space to host a spectacular dinner party or two?
Step into the orangery through double doors to find a substantial area currently used as a home gym. It possesses a huge lantern light ceiling, lovely original stonework, bi-fold and double doors and several windows overlooking the gardens. With all the wonderful light pouring in, this room would make a wonderful area to grow exciting and exotic plants if you are a keen or aspiring gardener!
Return to the hallway to locate an inner hallway with wooden parquet flooring. An original wooden secondary staircase with curved balustrade and geometric carpeting leads to the first and second floors. Behind, you’ll also find access to the cellar.
The inner hallway will then deliver you into a dining kitchen that faces the garden through a set of bi-fold doors. This sharp, stylish space features glossy white cabinetry, floor-to-ceiling integrated storage cupboards in tonal grey and further storage behind an array of translucent cabinetry. You’ll make good use of the integrated appliances and the gas hob set in the huge breakfast bar and find ample space for a dining table. Recessed downlights and beautiful pendant lighting add the finishing touches.
Step through into the spice kitchen/utility, where the snappy styling continues with its tonal greys, tall integrated storage, glossy white cabinetry, and floor tiling. Light floods in through skylights and windows, while doors exit to the front and rear. This spice kitchen features a range cooker, a marbled worktop with a stainless-steel sink and a flexible shower tap.
Close of Day:
Taking the main staircase, wind your way up to the first floor while appreciating the lovely half-landing lead-light window and the open-panelled wooden balustrade with its smart geometric-patterned carpet underfoot.
On the very spacious landing, you will find a matching rug – and even the radiators get in on the act. A door leads to another smaller landing where the secondary staircase can be accessed, along with the doors to bedrooms four and five.
Turn to your right to discover the master en suite bedroom – its neutral decor and soft carpet make this a calming place at the end of a busy day. This room features integrated storage, a dropped ceiling with a central chandelier, and a feature arch showcasing a generous bay window with views to the front and the countryside beyond. Behind is a
dressing area with plenty of inbuilt wardrobes for all your finery.
Step into the impressive en suite, which features a raised in-built spa bath with overhead chandelier, a walk-in wet-room-style rainfall shower, a heated towel rail, a loo with personal hygiene attachment, and a double basin unit with a large mirror and lighting over. The en suite is attractively decorated in tonal grey and charcoal tiling, while a set of obscured glass casement windows draw in natural light.
Bedroom two is a good-sized double featuring in-built floor-to-ceiling grey gloss-fronted wardrobes, large windows and double doors that look out to the rear garden, soft carpeting and a central chandelier. The scheme follows through to the fully tiled en suite wet room, where you’ll find a rainfall shower, a heated towel rail, a double basin unit with a large mirror over, and a close-coupled loo.
Bedrooms three, four and five continue the same clean, sharp lines and decor, with thick, soft carpets underfoot. Bedroom three has wall-length gloss-white sliding storage units, a hanging swing chair and whimsical centre light that adds amusement to the space.
Bedroom four has a dressing room and a fabulous view over the countryside from its bay windows. Bedroom five also has lovely views and features a recessed wall for a TV and a range of full-height gloss-grey integrated storage.
A wet-room style bathroom completes the first floor, comprising grey tiling with toned matching cabinetry, a double basin unit with a large mirror over, a full-size bath with inset mirror and lighting, a rainfall shower, heated towel rail, and a loo with personal hygiene attachment.
On the top floor, you will find bedrooms six and seven and a shower room servicing both. Both lovely rooms feature part-sloped ceilings with beams above and smart contemporary radiators. Bedroom seven is currently being used as a study and has two power units in the centre of the floor.
Step Outside:
The property is surrounded by acres of grounds and gardens with fine countryside scenery. Stone walls and mature trees surround the extensive lawn and provide shade and privacy. And with such lovely aspects to enjoy, you won’t need an excuse for drinks or meals on the side and rear terrace. A walled wrought-iron gate also allows access to the front entrance and driveway.
The garden has the bonus of a tennis court and a large leisure complex, which has foundations for a swimming pool and enough room for a steam room and sauna or other facilities, should you so wish.
On Your Doorstep:
Situated just off the A47, Winkadale is only 20 minutes into Leicester city centre, famed for its culturally diverse scene and world-class universities. Here you will also find the Cultural Quarter, where there are dozens of galleries, museums and theatres putting on a wide range of shows and events.
Just a 20-minute journey will take you either to the market towns of Uppingham or Market Harborough. In around the same amount of time, you can be at the wonderful Rutland Nature Reserve – if you feel fit, you can hire bikes to cycle around the reservoir!
There are plenty of schools in the area to choose from, including the likes of Leicester High School for Girls, Leicester Grammar School, and Stoneygate School. You’ll also find a scattering of day-to-day amenities in the nearby villages and towns, and being so close to Leicester means that all the shops and services you would require are within easy reach.
