5 bedroom detached house for sale

Hidden away in the prestigious Stretton Hall development on the outskirts of Oadby, this immaculate detached family home balances contemporary residential living with fast access into Leicester’s thriving centre and the region’s pretty villages and market towns.

Inside, five double bedrooms with two en suites and a family bathroom offer plenty of accommodation for family and friends, with two reception rooms, a huge fitted kitchen and a fantastic conservatory with great views on to the private garden which backs on to the green woodlands. There’s also a separate study, utility and a ground floor cloakroom.

Outside, you’ll find extensive off-road parking while a beautiful garden perfect for entertaining overlooks woodland to the rear.

Perfectly Positioned

Chestnut Drive is dotted with handsome red-brick homes with smart block-paved drives and front lawns. Pull through brick posts demarking an in-keeping driveway with an attractive lawn, which complement an exterior of decorative brickwork. There’s ample parking here and inside the fantastic double garage.

Come On In…

Arriving on the open porch, step through into a bright and airy entrance hall with wooden flooring.

Time Together

French doors opposite the foot of the stairs reveal a large and cosy dual-aspect living room, where a beautiful stone mantelpiece with a gas fire and a marble hearth harmonises with neutral walls and a thick cream carpet to create a refined yet inviting atmosphere. Glazed double doors draw you through into a striking conservatory, with the option to open the double doors to the garden to mingle with your guests on the lawn.

The conservatory also links into the sitting room, which benefits from a big casement window to the garden and décor in line with the living room. French doors connect back to the hallway, but for now, come straight through into the adjoining dining kitchen, which features a tiled floor and patio doors to go out to the garden.

An excellent range of wooden cabinets, draws, and part-glazed cupboards fill two walls, and worktops providing lots of practical surface area to prepare food. Integrated appliances include a Rangemaster cooker, integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer.

From the kitchen, leads to the separate utility and provides internal access to the integral garage and the back to the bright hallway. Opposite, glazed double doors and windows point to a private garden with the woodlands behind.

Sweet Dreams

Pause to bid family and guests goodnight on the beautiful split-level galleried landing at the top of the butterfly staircase. Nestled in a quiet corner of the right wing, the king-size master bedroom enjoys natural lighting from a trio of front-facing windows and a stylish three-piece en suite shower room.

Store your clothes and shoes away in the floor-to-ceiling mirrored wardrobes reaching across one wall, with a walk-in dressing room just beside.

This side of the landing is also home to a third carpeted double with two front windows, integrated wardrobes and space for a dressing table. A study, library or meditation room lies adjacent, while behind, you’ll find bedroom two facing the garden via a big casement window. This suite benefits from large windows and in-built floor-to-ceiling wooden wardrobes.

Three further bedrooms & bedroom two with an en-suite with storage, and garden views complete the accommodation to this wing. An elegantly tiled family bathroom comprises a bath, separate shower enclosure and vanity basin unit.

A Breath of Fresh Air

Outside, discover a tranquil garden enclosed by fencing, where an access gate leads to the wooded area. The lush, well-tended lawn feels very private and secluded, with an array of leafy and vibrant shrub and flower beds further enhancing this soothing oasis.
