Description

One of the first homes as you enter this prestigious Stretton Hall development, this substantial five bedroom detached residence sits on one of the finest and most generously proportioned plots on the estate. Built in 2000 and cherished by the same family ever since, every corner of this home reflects over two decades of genuine pride of ownership and careful, loving maintenance.

Pulling up to the property, the exceptional width of the plot is immediately apparent. A sweeping block-paved driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, leading to a double electrically operated garage, with beautifully kept frontage and well-stocked planted borders completing a truly impressive arrival.

Stepping inside, the scale of this home reveals itself immediately. A spacious and elegantly proportioned entrance hall sets the tone, leading through to generous and well-considered ground floor accommodation. Reception space flows naturally from a sizeable living room and formal dining room through to a spectacular conservatory, fitted with air conditioning and opening directly onto the garden with breathtaking open field views beyond. With its central island, the kitchen connects comfortably into a dining and living area, creating a wonderfully practical and sociable heart to the home. Rounding off the ground floor is a dedicated study, separate utility room and ground floor WC.

Upstairs, five generously sized and beautifully proportioned bedrooms are accessed from a spacious and elegant landing, each room offering real space for large furniture and comfortable family living. The impressive primary suite benefits from its own private en suite, with a second double bedroom also enjoying a private en suite. Three further double bedrooms, all generous in size, are served by a well-appointed family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower.

Lovingly maintained and carefully cultivated over more than two decades, the rear garden is one of the most special features of this home. Sweeping lawn, mature planted borders, well-stocked flowerbeds, a charming gazebo and a decked seating area all contribute to a garden of real beauty and tranquillity, with open field views beyond adding a sense of space and serenity that is truly rare on an established residential development.

Stretton Hall sits on the southern edge of Oadby, one of Leicestershire's most sought-after residential areas, combining a wonderfully semi-rural feel with outstanding access to schooling, amenities and transport connections. Exceptionally well served for schooling, with Brocks Hill Primary, Woodland Grange Primary, Brookside Primary, Gartree High School and the outstanding Beauchamp College all within easy reach, and Leicester Grammar School, one of the most highly regarded independent schools in the region, sitting under a mile away in Great Glen.

Oadby town centre is within easy reach, offering a wide range of independent shops, restaurants and cafes, whilst both Sainsbury's and Waitrose are conveniently close by. Stoughton Grange Rural Centre, home to the award-winning Cow and Plough gastropub, farm shop and gin distillery, is just around the corner and has become one of Leicestershire's most loved local destinations.

For commuters, Leicester city centre is approximately five miles away via the A6, with fast motorway connections to the M1 and M69. Market Harborough is within a short drive and offers direct rail services to London St Pancras in under an hour, whilst Leicester railway station provides regular services to London and across the wider national rail network.
