Description
Originally built in the 19th century for coal and lime merchant, Joseph Henry Ellis, it was built in the style of a medieval manor. Once a school for deaf children, it has now been converted into an exquisite selection of apartments and Mews houses, exuding the best in fabulous interiors, high ceilings and impressive medieval architecture sitting within the most beautifully manicured grounds.
This ground-floor apartment presents an exciting opportunity to purchase an ideal first home in the highly popular and fashionable conservation suburb of Stoneygate. The property has a neutral colour palette with the most amazing decorative tiled and wood floors, panelled doors with traditional furniture as well as magnificent stained glass and leaded light arched windows.
Entry is through the traditionally medieval-styled door into the grand vestibule, which has the most impressive decoratively tiled floor and the highest of ceilings, giving you the immediate feel of lots of space. To the left of the hall is the outstanding living room with a wood floor, the most magnificent carved copper ceiling with stunning coloured glass and leaded light arched windows overlooking the front lawns. In one corner is a carpeted area and adjacent to this is a wonderful fireplace with a stone tiled hearth, a stone surround and a mantel above.
Off the hall to the right is the double aspect study and at the end of the hall is the entrance into the elegant and recently fitted kitchen, which also has a coloured glass and leaded light window that looks out over the rear gardens. Below quartz work surfaces are a range of base units while above are wall units providing plenty of storage space. Integrated appliances include and oven with an induction hob and extractor hood above.
On the other side of the living room is the principal double bedroom, which has twin tall, arched windows that allow the light to flood in. Adjacent is the absolutely stunning part-tiled three-piece shower room with a large enclosed shower cubicle with a sliding glass door and a heated towel rail.
Outside, a long tarmac drive sweeps up to and in front of the manor and there is ample parking provision for residents and visitors. Adjacent to the manor is a garage within a block. The enchanting communal grounds are beautifully maintained with a superb display of mature trees that shed wonderful dappled light across the immaculate hedges and extensive lawns, perfect for residents and their guests to enjoy.
We would definitely encourage an early viewing of this apartment to truly appreciate the fabulous charm and character of the property. Conveniently located and providing easy access to nearby Allendale Road and Francis Street, with their comprehensive array of independent bars, shops and boutique restaurants, Leicester train station is also nearby and offers direct trains to London St Pancras in a little over an hour. There is an extensive range of public and private primary and secondary schools local to this exceptional property, which are all highly regarded.

Leicester’s mainline rail station, which provides services to London St Pancras in around an hour, is just a short distance away, as is Leicester Royal Infirmary, an excellent choice of private and state schools, plus Leicester and De Montfort universities.
