Cotes Road, Barrow Upon Soar, LE12

Set along the highly regarded Cotes Road and a short walk from the centre of Barrow upon Soar, this exceptional detached residence is brought to the market for the very first time, having been individually designed and constructed by renowned local builder. Extending to approximately 8800 sq. ft, the property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and versatile home with an emphasis on space, privacy, and outstanding leisure facilities.

The approach immediately sets the tone, with the property positioned well back from the road behind a sweeping in-and-out gated driveway, framed by mature trees and a gently curved lawn. Upon entering, a striking reception hallway creates an impressive first impression, offering a direct sightline through to the landscaped gardens beyond. From here, a snug or music room provides a cosy retreat, while the principal living spaces unfold effortlessly.

A generous sitting room features double doors leading through to the formal dining room, unified by a double-sided log-effect open fire which also connects visually to the kitchen, creating a seamless flow ideal for both family life and entertaining. The kitchen itself is a true centrepiece; a large, fully equipped entertaining space with tiled flooring and underfloor heating, a substantial central island with black granite worktops, and bespoke cabinetry. Premium appliances include twin Wolf commercial ovens, induction and gas hobs, an indoor barbecue and fryer, instant hot and cold water tap, dishwasher, and a Sub-Zero fridge freezer. A dedicated bar area further enhances its social appeal.

Complementing the kitchen is a well-appointed utility room with additional appliance spaces, a second sink, and extensive storage. Beyond, a playroom connects to an inner lobby, providing access to a staircase leading to a self-contained two-bedroom annex, complete with storage/robe space and a shower room. Ideal for multi-generational living or independent guest accommodation. The lobby also offers internal access to the triple garage and an external door to the driveway.

To the opposite wing of the house, a large lounge with a bay window overlooks the garden, accompanied by a separate home office. This section of the property also connects to an outstanding sports complex, featuring a heated swimming pool, changing facilities, WC, pump and filtration room, and a games area. A spiral staircase rises to a private gym, creating a comprehensive leisure suite within the home.

The first floor continues to impress. The principal bedroom suite enjoys a private balcony with elevated views across the rear garden and towards the rolling landscape of Charnwood. It is complemented by a spacious dressing room and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with Gammadecor fittings, a freestanding bath, large shower enclosure, and twin vanity sinks. Four additional double bedrooms each benefit from their own en-suite facilities, with several also incorporating dressing areas.

Externally, the rear gardens are thoughtfully arranged across multiple levels. A generous flagstone patio provides an ideal entertaining terrace, leading down to a lawn with established rose beds, and further steps descend to a secondary expansive lawn bordered by mature hedging, offering both privacy and a sense of seclusion.

Barrow upon Soar itself is a thriving and well-connected village, offering a strong sense of community alongside a range of everyday amenities including independent shops, cafés, and public houses. The area is particularly well regarded for its schooling options, both state and independent, and benefits from excellent transport links, with a local train station providing direct services to Leicester and Loughborough, as well as convenient access to major road networks.

This is a home of significant scale and flexibility, offering immense potential to further enhance and personalise, creating an outstanding family residence designed around both comfortable living and exceptional entertaining.
