Description

Are you looking for a beautifully presented, elegant and expansive family home with private grounds, a tennis court and exceptional design throughout, all tucked behind gates in one of Oadby’s most prestigious locations?

Then allow yourself to fall in love with Sheencroft.

Sheencroft is a distinguished 1930s five bedroom family home set within nearly an acre of mature, private gardens. Discreetly positioned behind secure electric gates on Manor Road, this remarkable home combines grand proportions with thoughtful design, offering exceptional family living in a tranquil yet highly connected setting.

The approach is instantly impressive. A deep front lawn and smartly paved driveway create a feeling of arrival, with manicured borders and mature trees framing the home in greenery. A detached double garage sits to one side, and the symmetry of the house itself reflects the balance and flow you will find within.

Step through the front door and into a wide, welcoming reception hall where light streams in from both directions. Elegant tiled flooring stretches through much of the ground floor, guiding you towards the heart of the home. Immediately to the left is the family lounge, a beautifully proportioned space with an ornate feature fireplace and a large front facing bay window. Across the hallway, a second reception room offers a cosier atmosphere, currently used as a cinema or snug, ideal for family movie nights or quiet reading.

Move towards the rear and the home opens up with striking effect. The kitchen and dining space is the true centrepiece of Sheencroft, a vast open plan area designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. Curved bespoke cabinetry wraps around a central island, while sleek integrated appliances and extensive storage create a seamless and elegant aesthetic. Floor to ceiling windows and a large roof lantern flood the room with natural light, while wide doors open into a conservatory style garden lounge, allowing for effortless indoor outdoor flow.

Just off the kitchen, a second fully equipped kitchen and utility room serves perfectly for food preparation, laundry or use as a spice kitchen. This functional and flexible space allows the main kitchen to remain immaculate, making entertaining a breeze.

The ground floor also includes a dedicated gym room, which could easily serve as a playroom or home office, two cloakrooms, and cleverly integrated storage spaces that ensure the home works perfectly for busy modern life.

Upstairs, the handcrafted oak staircase leads to a wide galleried landing where the level of craftsmanship continues, with thick oak doors, bespoke oak skirting and handmade door frames throughout.

The first floor is home to five generously proportioned bedrooms, each with high-quality fitted wardrobes and views across the gardens. These light-filled rooms are stylishly finished and offer excellent versatility for family living.

This level also includes two beautifully appointed family bathrooms - both fully tiled and finished to a high standard. One features a luxurious bathtub and separate walk-in shower, while the other boasts a sleek massage shower pod and extensive vanity cabinetry.

Step outside and the full scale and beauty of Sheencroft’s grounds come to life.

The rear garden stretches wide and deep, with sweeping lawns bordered by sculpted hedging, flowering beds and mature specimen trees. A large paved terrace spans the width of the house, providing the perfect spot for al fresco dining or relaxing in the sun, while a timber gazebo offers a more sheltered garden retreat for evening drinks or quiet reflection.

And then, the tennis court. Privately enclosed and bordered by lush greenery, this full size court is a rare and coveted feature, offering recreation, prestige and a true sense of space that sets this home apart. A detached summer house sits just beyond, fully powered and currently used as a home office, adding yet another layer of flexibility to this already generous plot.

Located just moments from Oadby Parade, Sheencroft enjoys close proximity to boutique shops, restaurants and everyday amenities, while also offering direct access to green open spaces. The Leicester Botanical Gardens, Oadby Racecourse and Brocks Hill Country Park are all nearby. Families will appreciate the outstanding choice of local schools, including Leicester High School for Girls, Beauchamp College and Manor High School, along with the highly regarded Nursery Rhymes just a short distance away. The University of Leicester is close at hand, and Leicester city centre lies less than three miles away, making Sheencroft as well connected as it is private.

This is a home that has been lovingly maintained, cleverly improved and beautifully styled. It offers extraordinary space, light and quality, both inside and out.

Sheencroft is a rare find, a home of distinction, warmth and enduring appeal.
