A rare opportunity to acquire an original Arts & Craft architect designed home originally commissioned as part of the Rothley Garden Suburb. With sympathetic restoration this house could be re-imagined for contemporary living without losing the spirit and elegance of its Edwardian origins. Built to the highest standards of craftsmanship, the property stands in beautifully mature wooded grounds and features an extensive rock garden with clover leaf pools, ripe for renovation back to its former glory. The house retains all its original period features such as the delightful lozenge shaped stained glass windows of the drawing room, or the tall, elegant windows that dominate the dining apace. Whilst the spectacular hall with its oak panelling and carved wooden fireplace, is a testament to its first owner, a local industrialist and collector who travelled the world. This is the first time the Ridings has been on the market in over sixty years and represents an unrepeatable opportunity for a discerning owner to embrace this architectural gem and transform it into a modern family home. The accommodation is contained on two floors with three reception rooms, five/six bedrooms and private grounds which envelop the property on all sides and has a 200ft (60m) frontage to The Ridings. Bentons have no hesitation in recommending early inspection without delay.

History
Rothley Garden Suburb: under the supervision of Estate Architect George E Clare many of Britain’s top architects were commissioned to create a variety of superior homes for an area that now borders the triangle of The Ridgeway, Swithland Lane and The Ridings. The location still features many homes built in the desirable Arts and Crafts vernacular, of which 28 The Ridings, is an outstanding example – especially as it rejoices in an original and unmolested Edwardian form.
