About this home

Set behind a gated driveway within the prestigious Stretton Hall development, this individually designed detached residence is a home of exceptional scale, privacy and architectural presence. Extending to over 5,500 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation, excluding the balcony, it has been created for discerning buyers seeking a contemporary country-edge residence with elegance, security and effortless family living.

From the moment the gates open, the sense of arrival is undeniable. A sweeping block-paved driveway provides extensive private parking and leads to an integral double garage with EV charging, while the home itself sits proudly within its landscaped plot, framed by open countryside and far-reaching field views. This is a residence designed not simply to impress, but to offer sanctuary — a private retreat in one of South Leicestershire’s most coveted addresses.

The accommodation is arranged across two thoughtfully planned levels, with the principal living spaces positioned on the ground floor to maximise light, outlook and connection to the gardens. A wide and welcoming entrance hall sets a refined tone, leading through to the magnificent open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining room — the true heart of the home. Spanning the rear elevation, this remarkable space is ideal for entertaining on a grand scale, featuring premium German Leicht cabinetry, a large central island, high-quality appliances and extensive glazing opening onto a generous balcony overlooking the landscaped gardens and countryside beyond.

A walk-in pantry, separate utility room, guest WC and well-appointed boot room provide the level of day-to-day practicality expected from a home of this calibre. Further reception spaces include an elegant family room, a substantial office ideal for executive home working, and a versatile gym/snug, offering flexibility for wellness, leisure, business or relaxed family time.

Also positioned on the ground floor is a beautifully proportioned double bedroom with ensuite, perfectly suited to guests, older relatives, live-in support or multi-generational living.

The lower ground floor is dedicated to private accommodation and leisure, arranged around a long central hallway with direct access to the gardens. The principal bedroom suite is a calm and luxurious retreat, with garden access, a generous dressing room and a beautifully appointed ensuite. Five further bedrooms offer superb family and guest accommodation, with several benefitting from ensuites and fitted wardrobes, complemented by a stylish family bathroom.

A dedicated cinema room completes this level, creating a wonderful space for film evenings, gaming, private relaxation or entertaining away from the main living areas.

Externally, the property continues to excel. The landscaped gardens wrap around the residence, offering broad terraces, sweeping lawns and carefully designed spaces for outdoor dining, children’s play and quiet reflection. The open countryside beyond gives the home a rare sense of freedom and privacy, while the gated frontage ensures security and exclusivity.

The specification throughout is impressive, including underfloor heating, smart-home controls, Wi-Fi-enabled blinds, bespoke Italian cabinetry, roof-mounted solar panels and battery storage, combining refined contemporary living with an energy-conscious approach.

Stretton Hall is renowned for substantial detached homes, generous plots and a peaceful, leafy setting between Oadby and Great Glen. The location is particularly attractive to families, with Leicester Grammar School, Leicester Grammar Junior School, LGS Stoneygate and well-regarded local schooling all within reach. The A6 provides convenient access into Leicester and Market Harborough, with routes onwards to the M1, M69 and wider motorway network. Leicester railway station offers regular services to London St Pancras International, making the capital comfortably accessible for business or leisure.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, gated and highly individual six-bedroom residence — a home of privacy, sophistication and modern luxury, set within one of South Leicestershire’s most desirable residential enclaves.
